| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | The Audit Committee completes the initial review of the draft Form 990 and raises any questions or comments to the President and CFO. Questions are answered and the draft Form 990 is placed on the Board website for review by the full Board. During the earliest Board meeting, the Audit Committee Chair notifies the Board that the draft Form 990 is available on the website for review and issues a deadline for board members to submit questions or comments to the Audit Committe Chair and CFO. The Board has authorized the Audit Committee to approve the final submission to the IRS on or before the filing deadline. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | ClearPoint has established policies to ensure that all activities center around what is in the best interest of the clients we serve. The conflict of interest policies prohibit employees and board members from engaging in activities that may result in personal or professional gains from themselves, friends, family, colleagues, or the like. In addition, the agency's policies specify that governing body members and personnel who conduct business with or provide professional services to the organization must disclose the relationship and not participate in any vote regarding such business transactions or services. All employees are required to review and sign a Confidentiality and Conflict of Interest Statement at the time of hire and abide by the Conflict of Interest and Commitment Policy outlined in the employee manual. The Conflict of Interest Policy is reviewed with all new Board Members during their orientation and they are also required to sign off on this policy on an annual basis. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | During the second quarter of each year, the Executive committee of the Board reviews the President's accomplishments from the previous year and considers what salary action should be recommended. As part of their decision making process the Committee reviews the agency's performance scoring scale and the rating and increase matrix for the current year, the President's current salary range, which is based on the most recent comprehensive salary review conducted by our outside consulting firm, the President's salary history, and updated market data from local non-profits, as well as other NFCC member agencies obtained from the latest available 990. Their decision is formulated within the context of the agency's budget increases for the current year. Other agency officers and highly paid employees receive an annual performance review and merit based increase based on their performance. The proposed increases for those individuals are reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee of the Board each year. |
