Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11
Foundation accountants provide documentation to the tax preparer to prepare the 990 form, including answers to "yes/no" questions. The tax preparer uses all information to prepare the 990. After the 990 is prepared, the accountants in the foundation review the return for any discrepancies. Once all discrepancies have been addressed with the tax preparer, the return is taken to the board (at minimum the executive committee) for review and comment. If no problems are noted, the return is ready for signing and processing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
The board of directors discloses conflicts of interest annually.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
Key employees of the Western Illinois University Foundation are paid by Western Illinois University (a related organization and governmental entity). Western Illinois University establishes all hiring procedures and pay policies for employees of the Western Illinois University Foundation. When key employees are recruited, an Administrative Compensation Survey conducted by the College and University Processional Association from Human Resources (CUPA-HR) is used to get a salary range. However, the actual offer is based on an individual's qualifications. A search committee comprised of employees from various areas with various backgrounds is used during key employee searches.
