| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | The Form 990 was prepared by management in coordination with external accounting professionals. Prior to filing, a draft of the Form 990 was provided to the Organization's Vice President of Business and Finance for detailed review, including a review of governance disclosures, financial statements, and consistency with internal financial records. The draft Form 990 was also made available to members of the Board of Trustees and/or the Finance Committee for review prior to filing. Board members were given the opportunity to ask questions and request clarification or revisions. Any material comments or requested changes were addressed by management and the preparer before the return was finalized and filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | The Organization maintains a written Conflict of Interest Policy applicable to officers, directors/trustees, key employees, and board committee members. Covered individuals are required to disclose potential or actual conflicts annually and as they arise. Disclosures are reviewed by management and, when appropriate, by the Finance Committee or Board of Trustees to determine whether a conflict exists. Individuals with a conflict are required to recuse themselves from discussions and decisions related to the matter. Transactions involving conflicts are reviewed and approved by disinterested members of the governing body or appropriate committee, and related actions are documented in meeting minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The compensation of the Organization's top management position is established through a review and approval process conducted by the Board of Trustees or a designated committee composed of independent members. The process includes consideration of comparable compensation data and the individual's duties and responsibilities. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | See narrative for Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public | The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request and, when applicable, through the Organization's website. |
| Form 990, Part V, Line 2a | Staff are compensated by a related organization, The King's University - Texas (TKU-TX). TKU-TX files all required payroll information returns as required by the IRS. As such, due to common paymaster rules as instructed by the IRS, the number of employees reported represent the number of employees who work for the filing organization but are compensated by a related organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee | The Executive Committee is composed of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and President. The Committee is authorized to exercise any and all powers of the board of trustees, except any actions prohibited by law, the Articles and the Bylaws of the corporation. The Committee reports its activities and affairs to the board of trustees at the next meeting. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | The conflict of interest policy requires each trustee and officer to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest on an annual basis. The Executive Team evaluates each disclosure to determine if an actual conflict exists; in the case that a member of the Executive Team is involved in the disclosure, the board will make the determination. Following the disclosure, the responsible person recuses him or herself from the discussion and vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The Chairperson has the authority to appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board and/or Executive Team shall determine whether the university can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A | 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, General Information | The King's University (TKU) was originally incorporated in California in 1997, but relocated to Texas in 2014. In 2013, TKU created a separate Texas tax-exempt organization (TKU-TX) and TKU is in the process of liquidating the CA entity and moving all operations, assets and liabilities to TX entity. Until that liquidation is completed, TKU will file two separate 990's, one for California and one for Texas. For filing purposes, the Texas Form 990 reports all salary expenses for employees. The California Form 990 reports all educational activity and includes salary expenses as an employee lease back. Both organizations share the same program accomplishments reported on Part III and the same board reported on Part VII. |
