Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) prepares a timeline for preparation and review of the Form 990 and presents it to the Board of Trustees at its meeting subsequent to the issuance of the audited financial reports. Also at that time, the CFO makes a presentation that addresses any changes that may have occurred in reporting requirements since the last filing. The Form 990 is prepared based on the audited financial statements. Typically due to timing, an extension of time to file is needed to ensure a complete and accurate return. The return is prepared by the CFO. The Form 990 is then sent electronically to all members of the Board of Trustees for review and comment. Approximately a week is allotted for Board review prior to the filing of the return electronically.

Employees, officers, Board members, committee members and others are also responsible for reading the policy below, signing the Conflict of Interest Policy Acknowledgment Form and Disclosure Form, and returning them as directed. As noted below, these forms must be signed annually or as necessary. Article I. Purpose The purpose of the Conflict of Interest Policy is to protect the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges' interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer, staff member, committee member or director of the organization or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. No Officer, Board of Trustees member, committee member, director or employee of the NCJFCJ shall participate personally through decisions, approvals, disapprovals, recommendations, or other actions in any circumstance or particular matter involving the expenditure of grant or contract funds where, to his or her knowledge, he or she, his or her immediate family, business partners, or organizations other than the NCJFCJ in which he or she is serving as an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee, or any person or organization with whom the employee is negotiating or has any arrangement concerning prospective employment has an apparent or actual financial interest in the transaction. The Executive Director shall make the determination as to whether in any given situation recusal will be sufficient to mitigate the apparent or actual conflict of interest. In the case of an apparent or actual conflict of interest involving the Executive Director, such determinations will be made by the President of the NCJFCJ. In the case of an apparent or actual conflict of interest involving Officers, Trustee members, or committee members, such determinations will be made by the Audit Committee or National Council Conduct Committee, depending upon the nature of the conflict. In addition, in the use of grant or contract funds, interested persons should avoid even the appearance of: Using his or her position for private gain; Giving preferential treatment to any person; Losing complete independence or impartiality; Making decisions outside normal administrative procedures; or, Adversely affecting the confidence of the public in the integrity of the NCJFCJ and its programs. The Audit Committee shall address all reported concerns or complaints regarding corporate accounting practices, internal controls or auditing, and shall be immediately notified of any such complaint. Interested persons are encouraged to report any concerns they may have relating to the above situations to the Executive Director or the Audit Committee. All individuals within the organization, including Officers, Board of Trustees members, directors, employees, and committee members will be required to sign a Conflict of Interest Policy Acknowledgment Form and Disclosure Form annually and as required through the year.

For purposes of this rule, "relative" includes: one's husband, wife, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, stepparent, or stepchild; an individual residing in the same household as the employee; or an individual sharing a committed, personal relationship with an employee. Article III. Definitions 1. Interested Person Any Officer, Board of Trustee member, director, staff member, or member of a committee with governing Board delegated powers, is an interested person. 2. Financial Interest A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the organization has a transaction or arrangement; b. A compensation arrangement with the organization or with any entity or individual with which the organization has a transaction or arrangement, including him or herself; or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement . A voting member of any NCJFCJ committee who receives compensation from the organization for services, directly or indirectly, is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation, and is prohibited from membership on any committee regarding compensation matters and from providing information to such committees. 3. Other Interest This policy is also intended to cover potential conflicts of interest in hiring or entering into contracts on behalf of the organization where any Officer, Board of Trustee member, committee member, director or employee of the NCJFCJ may have a perceived or actual personal interest in the outcome of the hiring or contracting decision. Article IV. Procedures 1. Duty to Disclose In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the appropriate authority. 2. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest a. An interested person may make a presentation to the appropriate authority, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. b. The appropriate authority may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c. After exercising due diligence, the appropriate authority shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give to a conflict of interest. d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the appropriate authority shall determine, by a majority vote where applicable, whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination a decision will be made as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. 3. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy a. If the appropriate authority has reasonable cause to believe an interested person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interests, it shall inform the interested person of the basis for such belief and afford the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. b. If, after hearing the interested person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the appropriate authority determines the interested person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. Article V. Records of Proceedings Records shall be kept of all deliberations of the appropriate authority. Article VI. Annual Statements Each Officer, Board of Trustee member, Director, staff member, or member of a committee with governing Board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement, (Conflict of Interest Policy Acknowledgment Form) which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the Conflict of Interest policy; b. Has read and understands the Policy; c. Has agreed to comply with the Policy; and d.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
The compensation for the Executive Director/CEO of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges is determined by the President of the Board of Trustees for the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. The President receives input on the amount of compensation from the Executive Committee and Trustees. The Executive Director/CEO determines compensation for the senior management positions within the organization based upon an established compensation plan (the Executive Director/CEO is also covered under the compensation plan). Annually, the Finance Committee reviews comparability data for all senior management positions and makes a presentation of the comparability data to the full Board of Trustees in executive session. The Board then discusses the comparability data and makes a decision with a vote of the full Board of Trustees as to the reasonableness of the organization's executive compensation. The deliberation is contemporaneously substantiated in the written minutes of the meeting.
