UPON RECEIPT OF APPROVAL TO FILE FROM A BOARD OFFICER, THE RETURN IS ELECTRONICALLY FILED WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. |
| Pt VI, Line 12c | - DURING 2011, THE BOARD ADOPTED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE POLICY IS BASED UPON THE SAMPLE IN THE IRS FORM 1023 PACKAGE. UNDER THE POLICY'S PROVISIONS, ANNUALLY, THE BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES COMPLETE A CODE OF CONDUCT STATEMENT TO DETERMINE ANY PERSONAL, FAMILY OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS OR TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THESE FORMS ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD. DURING THE YEAR, IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT ARISES, THE POLICY REQUIRES THAT THE INDIVIDUAL NOTIFY THE BOARD. WHEN A POTENTIAL TRANSACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE INDIVIDUAL MUST NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION, OTHER THAN TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TRANSACTION, AND MUST PHYSICALLY EXCUSE HIMSELF OR HERSELF, WHILE THE REMAINING BOARD MEMBERS CONSIDER THE TRANSACTION TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO THE ORGANIZATION. LEGAL COUNSEL IS CONSULTED, AS NECESSARY, TO DETERMINE THAT SUCH A TRANSACTION WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION. |
| Pt VI, Line 15a | - STAFF COMPENSATION: ANNUALLY, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF STAFF MEMBERS AND MAKES SALARY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION. THE BOARD TREASURER HANDLES EVALUATIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SUBMITS HIS PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND SALARY RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR CONSIDERATION.

STAFF MEMBERS HANDLE THE DAY-TO-DAY BOOKKEEPING FOR THE ORGANIZATION. IN ADDITION, A CPA FIRM PROVIDES ACCOUNTING ASSISTANCE AND IS ENGAGED TO RECONCILE BANK STATEMENTS AND PROVIDE MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON A PREPARATION LEVEL SERVICE. TO DEMONSTRATE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ITS FINANCIAL RESOURCES, DURING 2015, THE BOARD APPROVED AN EXTERNAL AUDIT BY A PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. AUDITS WERE DONE FOR THE CALENDAR YEARS 2014 AND 2015. FOR BOTH YEARS, THE AUDITORS' REPORTS INCLUDED AN UNQUALIFIED "CLEAN OPINION," BASED UPON THE AUDITORS' EXAMINATION OF LARTL'S FINANCIAL RECORDS. BOTH AUDITS REVEALED NO DEFICIENCIES IN CONTROLS OR FINANCIAL ADJUSTMENTS; THEREFORE, THE BOARD DECIDED TO NOT UNDERGO AN AUDIT FOR YEARS 2016-2020. |
