The 990 is prepared by Swedish Health Services, a member of the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. Preparation and review of the Form 990 involves the compilation of information from all areas of the organization. The initial draft return is prepared by Finance and reviewed by Management.

Before the return is filed, a copy of the return is made available to all members of the board. The return is then filed with the IRS by the deadline.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12
Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research is subject to the Conflict of Interest policy of Swedish Health Services. Covered Persons are defined as the Executive Director, Management, and Key Employees of the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research (MRC). Board Members and Covered Persons are required to complete a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire annually and disclose any affiliations, interest or relationships, and/or any transactions the individual and/or his/her family members have engaged in that might give rise to an actual, apparent, or potential conflict of interest. The policies define family members and describe what constitutes conflicts of interest. They require individuals to report any further financial interest, situation, activity or conduct that may develop before completion of the next questionnaire. The Conflict of Interest Questionnaires include an annual statement that Board Members and Covered Persons (a) have received a copy, read and understand the Policy; (b) agree to comply; (c) understand that the Policy applies to committees and subcommittees; (d) understand that MRC is a charitable organization that must engage primarily in exempt activities; (e) agree to report any change to matters previously disclosed on the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire; (f) state that the information provided in the Questionnaire is true to the best of his/her knowledge and belief; and (g) affirm that neither they nor family members have violated the policy. The purpose of the policies is to ensure that Board Members and Covered Persons are independent and able to perform their duties in an impartial manner free from any bias created by personal interests, to protect the interests of MRC when it is contemplating entering into an arrangement that might benefit the private interest of Board Members or Covered Persons, to clarify the duties of Board Members and Covered Persons in the context of a potential conflict (and to provide with a method for disclosing and resolving said conflict); and to supplement (not replace) any applicable state laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to charitable, not for profit corporations. MRC will not engage in any contract, transaction, or arrangement involving a potential conflict of interest unless it is determined that appropriate safeguards to protect the charitable mission of MRC have been implemented. The Board's Executive Committee, working with the Swedish Health Services Compliance Officer, will review all Conflict of Interest Questionnaires. The Governance Committee will make a finding as to whether an actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest exists and will forward that finding, along with recommendations for resolution, to the Board for discussion and vote. For Covered Persons the organization's Conflict of Interest Committee works with the Swedish Health Services Compliance Officer and follows a similar process. It reviews all questionnaires submitted by Covered Persons and communicates its findings and recommendations to be implemented by the appropriate committees. Meeting minutes will identify any person attending any meeting who has a conflict of interest with respect to any matter before the Board or committee and the action taken to address the conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a
