City, CA 91608 Description of Process for Review of 990 Form 990, Part VI, Question 11b The sister company, Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) provides accounting support for the Organization. Accordingly, Form 990 is prepared internally by MPAA and reviewed by our external tax advisors, who are paid preparers. The final draft is reviewed by the MPAA finance team, (Director of Reporting and VP Controller) as well as the CEO, VP & CFO & VP/ General Counsel of the Organization. Conflict of Interest Policy Form 990, Part VI, Questions 12a, b, & c The Conflict of Interest Policy stipulates that Directors, Officers and Key Employees have a responsibility to disclose to the Organization's VP/General Counsel any personal interest or activity which might be contrary to the interests of the Organization. These parties are surveyed annually to identify potential conflicts and ensure compliance with the Organization's policy. Responses are reviewed by the VP/General Counsel to determine if a possible conflict may exist; if so, the VP/General Counsel and the CFO will evaluate: a) whether the conflict influenced any transaction or decisions, b) if so, whether any preventative measure can cure or mitigate that conflict, and c) what can be done in the future to prevent such conflicts. If a conflict is discovered, the conflicted person(s) may be subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination. If a conflict involving either the VP/General Counsel or the CFO is identified, then the other non-conflicted executive is required to bring it to the attention of the CEO. Description of Process for Determining Compensation Form 990, Part VI, Questions 15a & b The President & CEO's compensation is determined by the Board of Directors and discussion of his compensation is documented in the minutes. Officer's & Key employee's compensation is determined by the President & CEO based on a review and comparison of salaries for like positions in the technology sector, as well as experience.
