The Audit Committee will vote on a resolution approving or disapproving the form 990. After the Audit Committee approves the 990, the 990 is emailed to all voting members of the Board of Directors. The approved form 990 will be signed by the CFO and submitted to the IRS. At the regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting following the submission, the Audit Committee, the CEO or the CFO presents the highlights of the 990 to the board and the board votes on a resolution ratifying the Audit Committee's approval of the 990. if Issues are identified at any point, the 990 is sent back to the previous step to ensure the issues are resolved and appropriate changes are made. For example, if the Audit Committee finds an unresolved issue during its review, the Audit Committee will request that the CFO resolve the issue before the Audit Committee will vote on a resolution approving the 990. |
