| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1 | The organization has an Executive Committee that has the authority to act on behalf of the board in the management of the business affairs of the organization with the exception that they cannot fill vacancies on the Board, fix compensation of any Board members, amend or repeal the bylaws or other resolutions expressed as non-amendable, approve transactions where a conflict of interest exists, or appoint new committees or members. The Executive Committee consists of the Chairman, President, and Secretary. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Per the bylaws, the governing body consists of the following individuals: The Senior Pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church (SMCC), one representative appointed by the SMCC Board of Trustees, and members of SMCC who are elected according to its bylaws. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | Form 990 is prepared by the same independent CPA firm who performed the financial audit of the Seminary. The Seminary's top management reviews the Form 990 in detail. The reviewed Form 990 is then shared with the board of directors after filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | All employees and board members of Southern California Seminary are required to complete an annual conflict of interest questionnaire. The CFO is responsible for reviewing the signed questionnaires and the Seminary President reviews the statement of the CFO. The CFO ensures that interested persons are in compliance with the conflict of interest policy. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Seminary President is compensated by a related organization and reimbursements are paid by the filing organization. Independent members of the Board of the related organization use comparability data to set compensation. Deliberations and decisions are documented in the minutes. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b: Officer compensation is reviewed and approved by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. Wages are set to be not more than comparable organizations. The process is documented in a written contract between the organization and the officer. Officer compensation paid through reimbursements to a related organization is set by the governing Board of the related organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request. |
| Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J: | Compensation reported in Part VII, column D and Schedule J, Part II, column B is the amount reported on the individual's W-2, box 1 or 5 (whichever amount is greater) per the IRS instructions. In the case of minister's compensation when box 5 of the W-2 is not applicable, box 1 compensation is used. Employee deferrals to qualified retirement plans are normally captured in box 5, not box 1 of Form W-2. For reporting purposes we have included the minister's retirement plan deferrals in Part VII, column F and Schedule J, Part II, column C. |
| Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J: | A related organization files the W-2 for some employees reported in Part VII. The Seminary reimburses the related organization for the portion of compensation related to services provided to the filing organization. |
| Form 990, Part X, Lines 27-29 | In accordance with the principles of FASB ASU 2016-14 (ASC 958), the organization has implemented required changes to its audited financial statements for the period ended 08/31/2019. The 2018 Form 990 and its associated schedules have not been updated to reflect changes made by this standard. Thus, we have reported the revised net asset categories from the audited financial statements as follows on Form 990, Part X, Lines 27-29: Line 27 - Net assets without donor restrictions $500,731 Line 29 - Net assets with donor restrictions $235,549 Total net assets $736,280 |
| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: | The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent auditor. This process has not changed since the prior year. |
