“Sutter health, a related tax-exempt organization, has a centralized tax department responsible for the preparation of the form 990. Annually the tax department provides training and education to affiliate personnel who assist the tax department in collecting and reviewing data to be reported on the form 990. The preparation material is reviewed by various departments including tax, finance, legal, and human resources. A national accounting firm prepares and/or reviews the return. A completed return is then reviewed by the tax department, the affiliate, and the cfo before the return is filed. A copy of the form 990 has been provided to all members of the governing body before filing the form.”

“Employees are educated on the conflict of interest policy and the need to make disclosure as part of annual compliance education. In addition, annually a disclosure statement is completed by all directors and officers that includes an acknowledgement that they have read the conflict of interest policy. On this statement the individual will list a wide range of information which includes business relationships, employment relationships, property interests, and those of related parties. The ceo and board chair will review the statements and monitor situations that may pose a potential conflict of interest. The ceo and board chair may consult with the office of the general counsel as necessary. If there is a potential conflict of interest related to a particular transaction, the interested individual must disclose the existence and nature of the relationship. The board chair may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the conflict. Until the potential conflict is resolved, the board chair may request the individual to not participate during related presentations and discussions. In all circumstances involving an actual conflict, the interested individual shall refrain from voting on any matter related to the transaction.”

“The compensation committee of the sutter health board of directors retains ultimate discretionary authority over all elements of compensation to ensure that organizational purposes are appropriately being served. The compensation committee uses credible data sources and maintains an objective "arms length" decision-making process, ensuring the integrity of sutter's executive programs and consistency with the organization's overall mission. In order to ensure external competitiveness, national, california and local market area compensation data comparisons are reviewed. Competitive analysis includes: (a) base salary, (b) total cash (base salary + annual incentive) and (c) total remuneration (base salary + annual incentive + benefits and long term incentive). This analysis includes comparable organizations and geographic considerations. For the most senior executive positions, national comparisons for organizations similar in size, scope and complexity as sutter health are most appropriate since it is a national marketplace in which sutter competes for executive talent. On the other hand, because california's underlying compensation structure is higher than national data (especially in the bay area), regional pay comparisons and adjustments are made. Officers and key employees of this organization who are sutter health employees undergo a review and compensation committee approval, and such approval is recorded in the minutes. The compensation review process was last completed in december of 2014.”

“The sutter health system posts its current and past audited financial statements at sutterhealth.org. Other documents are also located at this website including the annual report, mission statement, history, and links to affiliate websites. The governing documents are not available to the public at this time.”
