However, the Board of Directors does have the authority to waive the requirement for 24 months of the Foundation employment for a specific physician as long as that physician commits to work at least 50% of a full-time surgeon.

Form 990 is sent to all members of the Finance Committee. The review of Form 990 takes place at the next Finance Committee Meeting which takes place after the delivery of Form 990 by the CPA firm who prepares Form 990. The CSF Administrator provides a detailed written review of Form 990 and highlights any changes from the prior year. This review is completed and the information is sent to the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors along with a copy of Form 990. The Board of Directors provides the Administrator with documentation that they have reviewed the form. This documentation is maintained in corporate records.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
Annually, individuals are asked to disclose or update a conflict of interest form provided by the Foundation regarding any interests that could give rise to conflicts, such as a list of family members, substantial business or investment holdings, and other transactions or affiliations with businesses and other organizations or those of a family member that may benefit them financially from a decision he or she makes in a capacity of authority within the Foundation. For each interest disclosed to the Board of Directors, the Board will determine whether to: (a) take no action; (b) assure full disclosure to the Board of Directors and other individuals covered by this policy; (c) ask the person to recuse from participation in related discussions or decisions within the Organization; or (d) ask the person to resign from his or her position in the Organization or, if the person refuses to resign, become subject to possible removal in accordance with the Organization's removal procedures. The Organization's Administrator and Executive Director will monitor proposed or ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest and disclose them to the Board of Directors in order to deal with potential or actual conflicts, whether discovered before or after the transaction has occurred.
