A copy of the Organization's 990 was provided to all members of the Organization's Board of Trustees before it was filed. The process for review was as follows: After preparation of the form by staff and reviewed by management, the draft 990 was reviewed at a special telephonic meeting of the Board's Audit Committee. The draft 990 was then made available to all board members (either digitally or in hard copy, depending on their preference). Two review sessions led by staff were held for Trustees on different dates, and all Trustees were encouraged to participate. Any changes following these reviews were again reviewed by the Audit Committee before the final 990 was filed. The draft 990 was also reviewed by the independent accounting firm KPMG.
