| Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing body | See Narrative for Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | Prior to filing the return with the IRS, a draft of the completed Form 990 is reviewed by the organization's Joint Finance Oversight Committee. Subsequent to the Joint Finance Oversight Committee's review, the completed and final Form 990 is presented to the organization's Board of Directors for review and filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | Annually, the organization distributes an electronic conflict of interest questionnaire to all interested persons to determine if any potential or actual conflict of interest exists. The Ethics Committee reviews each questionnaire electronically submitted by these individuals to determine if any potential or actual conflicts of interest exist and requires the attention of the board. If the board determines that an actual conflict exists, then the interested person with the conflict will recuse him/herself from any related discussion, vote or similar action on the matter. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | For fiscal year ended 6/30/2015 the Board of Regents of the American College of Chest Physicians (College) engaged Westcott Hunter, Inc. to provide consulting advice and market comparability data about the organization's top management, which includes the top management official and all key employees. Westcott Hunter, Inc. first determined that the Compensation Committee for the College was independent and free from conflicts of interest. The second step determined the "disqualified persons" and the methodology used to assess reasonableness. This assessment was conducted at the total rewards level and included all compensation components. Westcott Hunter, Inc. obtained external valid comparable market data from published sources for comparable positions, and established a Form 990 peer group of comparable organizations. The third step consisted of reviewing the disqualified individuals and market data; considering management's recommendations for salary increases and incentive awards; then finalizing and approving salary increase and incentive awards for all "disqualified persons". The review process is documented in the compensation committee's minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | The College's Board of Regents determined that the President, President Elect, Immediate Past-President and President Designate shall receive honorariums for the time served in these positions. Similar medical associations were surveyed to determine what board positions in similar associations received honorariums, the amount of time the board members spend on association business and the amount of honorariums they received. Based on the data collected a proposal was made to the the College's board with the related "proposed paid" board positions recusing themselves from the meeting and vote. The board passed the current honorarium structure and reviews the compensation structure on an annual basis. The review process is documented in the compensation committee's minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public | Financial statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policies are not required disclosures pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6104. These documents are not available to the public at this time. |
