| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 | IEEE has a total of 419,007 members in over 160 countries around the world. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a | The members of IEEE elect the directors of IEEE in accordance with the governing documents. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b | Amendments to the Constitution are subject to approval by the voting members of the organization. Voting members are those members of Member grade or above as defined in the bylaws. The Constitution was last amended in 2004. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | Before the Form 990 is filed with the IRS it is reviewed by the Executive Director, Past President, Treasurer, Past Treasurer, Audit Committee Chair and the CFO/Assistant Treasurer. The return is also reviewed by an external third accounting firm. The return is then posted to a website accessible by the IEEE Board of Directors. Questions and comments from the Board are acted upon. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | IEEE requires that officers and directors submit conflict of interest disclosure forms which is reviewed for both positive and negative responses for potential conflict of interest. All IEEE employees are required to complete an annual training course and those with authority to make financial expenditures are required to submit a disclosure form. The result of an officer or director not completing a required conflict of interest disclosure form is removal from service on the committee or board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | The IEEE Board of Directors, through its external legal counsel engaged a Compensation Consultant to provide IEEE with market comparability data and a reasonableness recommendation with respect to compensation paid to disqualified persons as defined under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Disqualified Persons"), in order to enable IEEE to establish a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under Section 4958. A committee consisting of the IEEE President, the IEEE Past President, and the IEEE President-Elect (the Executive Performance and Compensation Committee) is charged with evaluating the total compensation package of the IEEE Executive Director who serves as the Chief Operations Officer, and a committee of independent Board members and non-board members (the IEEE Employee Benefits & Compensation Committee) is charged with evaluating the total compensation package of the other selected Disqualified Persons. The Compensation Consultant provided these Committees with market data from published sources for comparable positions from both tax-exempt and for-profit organizations. The assessment was conducted at the total rewards level and included all compensation components, other than standard non-retirement benefits. External market comparisons were based on two primary sources of data: (1) Form 990 filings for a group of 16 peer organizations identified by the Compensation Consultant based on various criteria, and (2) published surveys. The peer group for the Form 990 comparisons contains organizations that have international presence, significant publishing activity, are standard-setting organizations, have separate foundations and/or do not focus on contract research. Published survey sources include data from general industry for-profit and not-for-profit sectors, with data from the various industry sectors equally weighted, with for-profit data weighted no more than 50%. Within the published survey data, scope cuts are selected based on IEEE's revenue and/or number of FTEs, where available. Market data are aged by an annualized rate of 3.00%, to a common date of February 1, 2020, to ensure data consistency. The Compensation Consultant advised the Committees that based the Compensation Consultant's analysis, the total rewards packages proposed by IEEE for the Disqualified Persons were within the range of market reasonableness. The Committees used the individual and market data to determine and document their recommendation that total remuneration for the Disqualified Person was market reasonable. The Compensation Consultant also provided correspondence documenting its analysis and recommendations regarding market reasonableness. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | The IEEE Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available on the IEEE website and to the public upon request. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a | For each person listed in Column A who is an Officer or Director, the average hours per week is stated as 10; however, the actual hours per week vary between 10 and 40. For each person listed as a Director, the average hours per week is stated as 5; however, the actual hours per week vary between 5 and 20. For each person listed who is an employee, the average number of hours per week is stated as 40; however, the actual hours per week vary between 40 and 80. |
