| Schedule O Disclosures | IRS Form 990 Part VI Section A Lines 6-7b N.E. Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. has one shareholder which has the authority to elect and remove the members of the board of directors of N.E. Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Lines 11a and 11b Affiliates of Wheaton Iowa during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 used a multiple-level review process on all IRS Forms 990 to ensure accurate and timely filing for all organizations. Under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer, the Accounting Department prepares Forms 990 and any applicable 990-T and associated state filings. When complete, the return is first reviewed by a Senior-Level (or higher) associate in the Finance Department, who focuses on the income statement and balance sheet items, and schedules where transactions of this type might be reported. If discrepancies are found, the item will be corrected prior to the next step in the review process. Once cleared through Finance, the return is provided to the Tax Department of the Wheaton Iowa sponsor organization, where the Tax Director concentrates primarily on consistency of reporting between all returns, accuracy of tax related information, and explanation and understanding of any outliers. Again, any problems or questions are investigated and corrected. Depending on the level of complexity of the year in question, as well as the individual issues specific to that filing, certain returns may be selected for outside review by a public accounting firm. This decision will vary from year to year based on many factors, and sometimes outside review is not utilized at all. Also, certain schedules, such as Schedule H or Schedule J may be reviewed by committees, such as the Community Benefit Team or the Compensation Committee in selected years. The board has asked for formal presentations on various 990 topics over the years. This decision will vary from year to year, again based on many factors. Once all levels of review have been completed, a designated finance and accounting employee will schedule an appointment with the signer of the 990. The signer, the Vice President-Finance and CFO, will perform an additional, normally high level review prior to signing the return. Once signed, the return is cleared to provide to members of the Board of Directors, who at a later date but prior to efiling, are provided access to all 990's throughout their assigned region. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Lines 12a - 12c Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. has adopted a Conflict of Interest policy which applies to all "interested persons" of Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. including directors, principal officers, key employees, and members of committees with board-delegated powers. Interested persons are expected to discharge their duties in a manner the person reasonably believes to be in the best interests of Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. and to avoid situations involving a conflict of interest. On an annual basis, interested persons are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement and to affirm their receipt of the conflict of interest policy, compliance with its requirements, and agree to notify the organization of changes impacting their annual disclosure in accordance with the policy. The annual disclosures are provided to internal legal counsel and the integrity and compliance officer, from which legal counsel prepares a report for the board chair and CEO. A summary of potential conflicts is reviewed with the board of directors of Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. (or a delegated committee of the board) on a yearly basis. Interested persons are required to make full disclosure to Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. of any financial or business interests that might result in or have the appearance of a conflict of interest. The board of directors of Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. (or a delegated committee of the board) is responsible for the review of transactions to determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists. In the event of an actual conflict, the board (or a delegated committee of the board) will either avoid the conflict or appropriately scrutinize the transaction to ensure it is in the best interests of Northeast Iowa Real Estate Investments, Ltd. Interested persons are required to recuse themselves from discussion and voting on matters involving a conflict of interest. The policy further addresses the proper documentation of the proceedings and potential disciplinary and corrective action for violations of the policy. The policy is available to the public upon request. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section C Line 19 Affiliates of Wheaton Iowa, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, made available, upon request, certain documents including our financial statements, conflict of interest policy, and governing documents that support our tax exempt status, including, but not limited to, articles of incorporation and bylaws. IRS Form 990 Part VII Column B Affiliates of Wheaton Iowa during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 operated as a controlled group of related healthcare organizations. As such, many employees who are at the Director level or above, or who are Officers and/or Directors of organizations where Wheaton has common boards and other overlaps in committee representations, spend significant time devoted to tasks not only for the filing organization, but also for related organizations. While there is no official time study tracking that is done, it is estimated that for each employee, tasks devoted to related organizations could approximate up to 80% or more of total hours. IRS Form 990 Part XI Line 9 Certain related organizations utilize receivable/payable accounts throughout the year. These intercompany balances are settled through the equity account at the end of each fiscal year to bring the receivable/payable balances to zero. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 this resulted in a decrease in net assets or fund balances of $158,490. |
