Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 THE MISSION OF THE COUNCIL ON ACCREDITATION (COA) IS TO PARTNER WITH HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE TO IMPROVE SERVICE DELIVERY OUTCOMES BY DEVELOPING, APPLYING, AND PROMOTING ACCREDITATION STANDARDS. IN FULFILLING THIS MISSION, COA VALIDATES THE QUALITY OF MORE THAN 2,000 ORGANIZATIONS SERVING MORE THAN 7 MILLION VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR. COA REVIEWS AN ENTIRE ORGANIZATION INCLUDING ITS GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT, AND FINANCIAL CONTROLS. IN 2013, COA CONTINUED THE DEVELOPMENT AND REFINEMENT OF ITS WEB PORTAL. THIS HAS MADE THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING ACCREDITATION AND TO ITS VOLUNTEER REVIEWERS. IN 2013, IT WORKED TO MODIFY ITS STANDARDS TO REFLECT CHANGING NEEDS BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. THIS INCLUDES ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. IT ALSO ESTABLISHED A FOCUSED REACCREDITATION PROCESS DESIGNED TO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AN AGENCY PROVIDES TO ACHIEVE REACCREDITATION. ITS WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE UNDER THE INTERCOUNTRY ADOPTION ACT CONTINUED WITH AN INCREASED EMPHASIS OF MONITORING COMPLAINTS FILED IN THE HAGUE COMPLAINT REGISTRY. UNDER A CONTRACT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, IT INSTITUTED A SERIES OF ACCREDITATIONS FOR HUMAN SERVICES PROVIDED TO MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THEIR FAMILIES ON INSTALLATIONS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. THE CFO AND PRESIDENT MEET WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE TO PRESENT, REVIEW, AND DISCUSS THE FORM 990. FOLLOWING THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING, A FINAL DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THE BOARD REVIEWS AND DISCUSSES THE FORM 990 AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING. FOLLOWING THE DISCUSSION PERIOD, THE FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE FORM 990. IT IS THEN FILED WITH THE IRS FOLLOWING BOARD APPROVAL. THIS PROCESS HAS NOT CHANGED FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C ALL VOLUNTEERS, TRUSTEES AND STAFF MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO EXECUTE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ATTESTING THAT THEY HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AS PART OF ITS OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITIES, REQUIRES THE CEO TO AFFIRM THAT THIS PRACTICE IS EMPLOYED. ANYONE BELIEVING THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY EXIST MUST DISCLOSE THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT ORALLY OR IN WRITING TO THE BOARD MEMBERS OR BOARD COMMITTEE CONSIDERING A POTENTIAL TRANSACTION TO WHICH THE CONFLICT RELATES. FOLLOWING A PERIOD OF QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE, THE INTERESTED PERSON MUST LEAVE THE ROOM AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSIONS OR VOTING RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT. BY MAJORITY VOTE, THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE WILL DETERMINE IF A CONFLICT EXISTS, AND IF TO ENTER INTO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE MAY BE APPOINTED BY THE BOARD CHAIR TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO A PROPOSED TRANSACTION IF THE BOARD DEEMS THIS NECESSARY. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE WILL DOCUMENT THAT THE CONFLICT WAS DISCLOSED, THE VOTING RECORD REGARDING THE CONFLICT, AND THE DECISION MADE REGARDING THE TRANSACTION. IF THE BOARD HAS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT A CONFLICT WAS NOT DISCLOSED, THE INTERESTED PARTY WILL BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO REPORT A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. FOLLOWING A FORMAL BOARD HEARING, INVESTIGATION AND VOTE, THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT A FAILURE TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTED, THE BOARD WILL TAKE NECESSARY CORRECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THE INTERESTED PARTY INCLUDING REMOVAL FROM THE COMMITTEE OR FROM THE BOARD.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COA'S COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE CEO AND FOR ITS ENTIRE STAFF HAS BEEN CAREFULLY DEVELOPED TO MEET THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: TO ENSURE THAT A PROPER RELATIONSHIP IS MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE SALARY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL JOB AND THE SALARIES OF OTHER POSITIONS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND COMPARISON OF RELATIVE CRITERIA AGAINST OTHER POSITIONS AT COA. TO ESTABLISH A SALARY FOR EACH JOB THAT COMPARES FAVORABLY WITH THE SALARY FOR SIMILAR JOBS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN COA'S JOB MARKET AND GIVEN GEOGRAPHIC AREA. TO PROVIDE SALARY OPPORTUNITY TIED TO LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE. TO ASSIST THE EMPLOYEE IN ATTAINING HIS/HER BEST PERFORMANCE BY INVOLVING HIM/HER AND THE IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR IN THE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE ABOVE, THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO IS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS A RESULT OF CONSIDERING THE COMPENSATION PRACTICES OF OTHER NATIONAL ACCREDITING ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INDUSTRIES AND THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY. THE SPECIFIC PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS: A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE COA BOARD, ALL OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT, IS APPOINTED BY THE BOARD CHAIR TO NEGOTIATE A WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITH THE CEO. THIS COMMITTEE UNDERTAKES A REVIEW OF THE 990S OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS REGARDING CEOS WITH COMPARABLE EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION AND GEOGRAPHIC LOCALE. THE CEO COMPLETES A SELF-EVALUATION AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE A WRITTEN EVALUATION OF THE CEO. BASED ON ALL OF THE FOREGOING, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL COA BOARD REGARDING THE COMPENSATION AND CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT OF THE CEO. THIS RECOMMENDATION IS VOTED ON BY THE ENTIRE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND IS DOCUMENTED IN THE BOARD MINUTES. KEY EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THE HR POLICIES GOVERNING ALL STAFF. COA'S SALARIES ARE ESTABLISHED AS A RESULT OF CONSIDERING THE COMPENSATION PRACTICES OF OTHER NATIONAL ACCREDITING ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INDUSTRIES AND THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY. THESE INCLUDE PANO (PERSONNEL ASSOCIATION OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS) COMPENSATION & BENEFITS SURVEY FROM PRM CONSULTING, INC.; MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION REPORT: NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS; BLUEWATER'S NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SALARY AND BENEFITS SURVEY; AND, THE CHILD WELFARE LEAGUE OF AMERICA SALARY STUDY. EVERY COA JOB POSITION HAS A RANGE OF SALARIES THAT AN EMPLOYEE WORKING IN SUCH POSITION MAY EARN. THE SALARY RANGES FOR EACH JOB POSITION ARE MAINTAINED AS PART OF THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS. SALARY RANGES ARE PERIODICALLY REVISED AND UPDATED BY THE COA'S PRESIDENT/CEO. AN EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION WILL GENERALLY BE REVIEWED ANNUALLY AT THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EMPLOYEE'S PERFORMANCE IN ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES OF HIS OR HER POSITION AND IN FURTHERING THE GOALS OF COA, AS APPROPRIATE. COA HAS THE DISCRETION TO AWARD OR NOT TO AWARD AN EMPLOYEE AN INCREASE IN SALARY. COA'S DECISION TO AWARD AN EMPLOYEE AN INCREASE IN SALARY WILL BE BASED ON NUMEROUS FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR, THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS AS DETERMINED BY COA'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE EMPLOYEE'S PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB, THE EMPLOYEE'S LENGTH OF SERVICE WITH COA, THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THE EMPLOYEE'S FUNCTIONS, THE EMPLOYEE'S EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND, THE SALARY RANGE FOR THE POSITION AND THE COMPENSATION PRACTICES OF OTHER ACCREDITING BODIES, SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT SECTOR. THE COMPENSATION POLICY WAS LAST REVIEWED BY HR COMMITTE OF THE BOARD IN OCTOBER 2013 AS PART OF THE CEO'S ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 COA MAKES ITS FORM 990 AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION AS REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 6104 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE RETURN IS POSTED ON GUIDESTAR.ORG AND OTHER SIMILAR TYPES OF WEBSITES.
