PROCESS USED TO REVIEW FORM 990
A final review of the Form 990 is performed by the agency's Chief Financial Officer prior to filing. The reviewed copy is submitted to the President/CEO and all members of the Finance Committee for review prior to filing the Form 990 to the Internal Revenue Service. Any changes requested to be made by Finance Committee members are documented and incorporated into the final return. The President/CEO offers a copy of the final version of the Form 990 to each board member for review prior to it being filed.
990 PART VI, LINE 12C
ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
Annually, each officer, board member, key employee, and key manager is required to complete an "annual conflict of interest statement" that acknowledges that he/she has read, understood and agreed to comply with the agency's conflict of interest policy, affirms that neither the person nor an immediate family member has participated in any conflict of interest activity, and agrees to notify the Board of any conflict situations that may arise. The Board Chair is responsible for ensuring that all affected parties complete the required forms. These forms are reviewed by the Board Chair, President/CEO and Chief Financial Officer who are jointly responsible for ongoing monitoring of and reporting to the Board of Directors on compliance issues. Determinations regarding a transaction involving a potential or actual conflict of interest are made by either the Board or the Executive Committee of the Board. Persons with the potential conflict must leave the meeting during the discussion and not vote on the transaction involving the possible conflict of interest. Provisions of the agency's conflict of interest policy require that all transactions in excess of $1,000 involving a conflict of interest require the prior disclosure to and consent of the Board of Directors, or its Executive Committee, as needed. Transactions of less than $1,000 that may or do involve a conflict of interest must be reported to the Board of Directors within six months after the transaction as information only. Transactions of less than $1,000 are reported semi-annually to the Board of Directors at their meetings in February and August. All other staff and consultants are prohibited from engaging in any transaction involving a conflict of interest without the consent of the Board of Directors. As such, they are subject to the rules described above regarding disclosure along with prior approval and/or reporting of transactions involving a conflict of interest. If a conflict exists and the conflict warrants the removal of the Director or Officer from their position, the bylaws afford the Executive Committee with the authority to do so.
990 PART VI, LINE 15A
