Once the form 990 has been prepared, it is reviewed by the executive director, board chair, and treasurer to ensure it accurately reflects the organization's activities and financial information. Any questions or suggested changes are discussed with the audit firm and addressed before the return is finalized and filed. An electronic copy of the final form 990 is shared with all board members prior to filing with the irs. If any updates or clarifications are made during the review, those changes are communicated to the board chair and treasurer and shared with the board as appropriate.”

“Technology by design currently has in place a conflict of interest policy that applies to any director, officer or key employees (covered persons). All covered persons must submit a disclosure questionnaire and an affirmation of compliance to the boad of directors disclosing any potential or actual conflicts of interest. The board will review all actual and potential conflicts of interest and related party transactions and determine whether to approve or ratify any such matters. All decisions or votes related to any actual or potential conflicts are documented in the minutes of the board meeting. Each covered person must annually sign an affirmation of compliance which affirms that the covered person has received receipt of a copy of the conflicts of interest policy; has read and understands the policy; has agreed to comply with the policy; and agreed to file a supplemental disclosure questionnaire whenever a potential conflict arises. The decision of any actual or potential conflict of interest is documented in the minutes of the board meeting.”
