Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds outside the U.S.:Grants to Organizations -Applicants that have met each program's eligibility criteria participate in a public application process by submitting a grant proposal that contains a description of the mission-related work they are proposing, a budget, a start date and completion date, and a description of how this work will achieve the Wikimedia Foundation's mission or the Wikimedia movement strategic priorities. When an applicant is awarded a grant and becomes a grantee, the grantee completes screening requirements and signs a grant agreement stipulating that they will use grant funds for charitable purposes consistent with the Wikimedia Foundation's mission and the purposes described in the grant proposal; that they agree to the reporting requirements, including maintaining receipts/documentation of expenses for four years; that they agree to procedures for notifying the Wikimedia Foundation of important changes that may affect the grant; and that they will return any unused grant funds after the end of the grant's term. Once each grant is complete, the grantee will submit a report or series of reports that demonstrate how the grant funds were spent and describe the impact of the work. Grants to Individuals - Grants to individuals follow the same process as other grants unless they are travel scholarships. Individuals apply for travel scholarships (primarily to attend the annual conference, Wikimania) and applications are reviewed and either accepted or denied. In most cases, travel is then arranged for the individual and paid for directly by The Wikimedia Foundation. In very limited cases, individuals book travel themselves and provide receipts to the foundation which then reimburses them based on the receipts.
Method of accountingThe grants and expenditures reported in Schedule F were based on the accrual method of accounting.

Form 990 part VI, line 7AThe Board consists of a maximum of ten Trustees. Three seats are elected directly by the Wikimedia community, two seats are selected by the Wikimedia chapters, there is one Board-appointed "community founder" seat reserved for Jimmy Wales, and there are four Board-appointed specific expertise" seats. Form 990 part VI, line 11a Review of Form 990: The first draft of the 990 was developed by an external accounting firm under the direction of the Controller with additional guidance from the Chief of Finance and Administration (CFA). It was reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the CFA and then by the Executive Director. Then a meeting of the audit committee was held at which the CFA walked through the draft in detail for the audit committee's approval. A complete copy of the Form 990 was provided to the voting members of the governing body prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990 Part VI, Line 12 Conflict of interest: The organization's board members, and officers (covered persons) complete annually a Conflict of Interest Statement the purpose of which is to identify any personal, family and/or business relationships and/or transactions that may pose a potential conflict. These forms are submitted to the general counsel and are reviewed by the Board. Additionally, the covered persons also complete annually a Pledge of Personal Commitment that affirms that the individual is in compliance with the Conflict of Interest Policy and that the individual will promptly notify the Executive Director and the Board Chair when a conflict or potential conflict arises. Furthermore, in the case of a conflict, the individual agrees to refrain from using his or her personal influence to encourage the Foundation to enter the transaction and must physically excuse himself or herself from any further discussions other than to answer questions about the transaction. In the case of potential conflict, the remaining Board members review the potential transaction to determine whether said transaction is fair and reasonable to the Foundation and legal counsel is consulted as necessary to ensure that such a transaction would not constitute an excess benefit transaction.
Form 990 Part VI Line 15aThe Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is responsible for determining the compensation of the Executive Director, and has delegated that responsibility to the ED Evaluation Committee, including the Chair of the Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent Board members. For 2012 compensation, in setting the ED's compensation,the Evaluation Committee has secured and reviewed comparability data about non-profit CEO compensation for organizations of similar size and scope to the Wikimedia Foundation, including salary, bonuses and non-monetary benefits and perquisites. The information came from a variety of sources including Guidestar, Boardsource, the Center for Non-Profit Management, and the Non-Profit Times. The committee also consulted with independent experts in the field. The Evaluation Committee also annually sets performance goals with the Executive Director, and works with her to evaluate performance against those goals. Both compensation and performance assessment information is shared with the full Board for its review and approval. At various points in the process, discussions and deliberations are reviewed via email. Once deliberations are complete, the final determination is summarized by the Chair of the Audit Committee in writing. Form 990 Part VI Line 15b In setting compensation for other officers, a compensation committee, consisting of persons independent to the transactions considered, has secured and reviewed comparability data about compensation at organizations of similar size and scope to the Wikimedia Foundation, including salary, bonuses and non-monetary benefits and perquisites. The information came from a variety of sources including Guidestar, Boardsource, the Center for Non-Profit Management, the Non-Profit Times, the San Francisco Business Times, CompassPoint Nonprofit Services and the Meyer Foundation. Additionally, the committee consulted with independent experts in the field, including those with specific subject-matter expertise in areas of non-monetary compensation such as health and dental coverage and retirement saving plans. The Executive Director also annually sets performance goals with officers, and works with them to evaluate performance based on those goals. The committee's deliberations and decision were contemporaneously documented, including who attended and voted and a description of the comparable documentation used and how it was obtained.
