F990_P06_S0B_L11bForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bPrior to filing Form 990, management reviews the completed Federal Form 990 with tax advisors from a national accounting firm and the audit committee of the Board of Trustees. After approval by the audit committee, management provides the form to all trustees for review prior to filing.
F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cAs part of the university's conflict of interest policy, all university trustees and key employees (as defined under IRS rules) are required to submit annually a conflict of interest disclosure statement, in which they affirm that they: (a) have received a copy of the university conflict of interest policy; (b) have read and understand the policy; (c) agree to comply with the policy and; (d) understand that the university, as a tax-exempt organization, must restrict it activities primarily to those for which its tax-exempt status was granted. Additionally, as part of the annual disclosure statement process, trustees and key employees of the university are asked to outline in a separate letter any possible conflict of interest and any signficant financial interest with the university or any university-related entity. All annual disclosure statements are submitted to the university compliance officer, who reviews them, consolidates the comments and presents a report to the audit committee. Upon receipt of the compliance officer's report, the audit committee reviews the findings and takes any necessary and appropriate action. The audit committee then reports to the Board of Trustees on the findings and any actions taken by the committee. Any trustee with a conflict of interest recuses himself or herself from any Board or committee decisions related to that conflict.
F990_P06_S0B_L15Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The process for determining compensation for the university's chief executive officer and other top management is modeled after the requirements in Internal Revenue Code Section 4958 to establish the presumption of reasonable compensation. Compensation is reviewed and approved by a compensation committtee of the Board of Trustees comprised of independent persons. By engaging an independent compensation consultant, the committee considers comparable market data from published surveys and Federal Form 990s of comparable organizations in evaluating the compensation for each individual. The committee conducts a review of this comparability data, sets compensation within a range of comparable organizations, and documents its deliberation and discussion in minutes that are retained with the other governance materials of the university.
F990_P06_S0C_L19Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19The university maintains copies of its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements on its website (www.wpi.edu).
