Explanation
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
THE REVIEW IS CONDUCTED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE BEFORE THE IRS 990 IS SIGNED BY THE CEO AND SUBMITTED TO THE IRS. THE IRS 990 IS REVIEWED AT THE MAY NATIONAL BOARD MEETING EACH YEAR. A PRELIMINARY REVIEW IS CONDUCTED IN MARCH OF EACH YEAR BEFORE THE IRS 990 IS COMPLETED. THE VERBIAGE ON THE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES IS REVIEWED AND MODIFIED AS NECESSARY AND THE PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS ARE REVIEWED FOR ACCURACY. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE CONDUCTS THIS REVIEW BY EMAIL. THE FINAL REVIEW ASSURES THAT THE IRS 990 NUMBERS AGREE WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL NUMBERS IN THE SPECIFIC AREAS OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES, EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND PROGRAM/MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT, THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND FUNDRAISING RATIOS FALL WITHIN APPROVED BOARD GUIDANCE, THAT ALL GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION QUESTIONS WITHIN THE 990 ARE PROPERLY DOCUMENTED, AND THAT ALL PUBLIC DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON THE ASYMCA WEBSITE AND THAT THREE YEARS OF AUDITED FINANCIALS AND IRS 990S ARE POSTED FOR PUBLIC REVIEW. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE THEN BRIEFS THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THEIR REVIEW OF THE CURRENT IRS 990 AND ANY DISCREPANCIES NOTED. COPIES OF THE IRS 990 ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THEIR PERSONAL REVIEW AND TO RESOLVE ANY QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
THE ASYMCA CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS REVIEWED AT THE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING EACH YEAR. DURING THE BOARD MEETING ALL BOARD DIRECTORS MUST COMPLETE AND SIGN THE NEW FORM BEFORE THE MEETING ADJOURNS. THE FORMS ARE REVIEWED AND FILED WITH THE BOARD MINUTES FOR THAT YEAR. ANY BOARD MEMBERS NOT IN ATTENDANCE ARE MAILED A NEW CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORM AND THEY WILL BE CONTACTED FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO GET THE SIGNED FORMS BACK AND FILED. THE KEY MEMBERS OF THE HEADQUARTERS STAFF (CEO, COO AND CFO) AS WELL AS THE BRANCH EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORMS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
FOR THE PRESIDENT AND CEO: THE COO ASSEMBLES THE ANNUAL COMPARABILITY DATA FROM THE YMCA'S ANNUAL SURVEY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (CONDUCTED BY SULLIVAN COTTER AND ASSOCIATES), THE ANNUAL YMCA SALARY ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE TAILORED CEO COMPENSATION REPORTS PROVIDED BY THE YMCA HR STAFF CONSULTANTS. THE CEO'S COMPENSATION IS THEN COMPARED AGAINST YMCA EXECUTIVES AT YMCA'S OF EQUAL SIZE, SCOPE, AND REVENUE FROM THESE THREE INDEPENDENT SOURCES. THE SALARIES ARE TABULATED AND THE DATA IS FORWARDED TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IS COMPOSED OF THE PAST BOARD CHAIRMAN AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. EACH COMMITTEE MEMBER COMPLETES AN INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF THE CEO BASED ON THE CRITERIA IN HIS EVALUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND HIS GOALS FOR THE NEXT YEAR. THESE EVALUATIONS ARE COMBINED INTO ONE MASTER DOCUMENT WHICH CONTAINS THE OVERALL EVALUATION AND THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CEO'S COMPENSATION FOR THE NEW PERFORMANCE YEAR. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETS IN NOVEMBER EACH YEAR TO REVIEW THE EVALUATIONS, THE COMPENSATION COMPARABILITY DATA AND THEY MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATION FOR THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION, ANY BONUS AND THE GOALS FOR THE NEXT YEAR. THEY MEET WITHOUT STAFF PRESENT AND KEEP A SET OF COMMITTEE MINUTES TO REVIEW WITH THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. ALL COMMITTEE AND BOARD MEMBERS ARE INDEPENDENT. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MAKES THEIR REPORT TO THE ENTIRE BOARD (IN EXECUTIVE SESSION WITHOUT STAFF PRESENT) AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTES ON THE MOTION FOR THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGE AFTER THEY DETERMINE THAT THE COMPENSATION IS NOT EXCESSIVE. FOR THE COO AND CFO: THE CEO PREPARES THE COO AND CFO COMPENSATION PACKAGES FOR THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO REVIEW USING THE SAME COMPARABILITY DATA MENTIONED ABOVE FOR THEIR INFORMATION AND CONCURRENCE. ALL OF THE COMPARABILITY DATA FROM THE YMCA OF THE USA AND OTHER NON-PROFITS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND SCOPE ARE COMPARED TO ENSURE THE COMPENSATION FOR THE OFFICERS IS NOT EXCESSIVE.
