Part I, Line 4aJohn Duncan, a former highly compensated employee, received a severance payment of $91,427 in connection with his termination.
Part IIISee Schedule O for a detailed description of the process used to set the compensation for Dr. Sproul. The Organization's executive expense reimbursement policy permits two senior members of its executive staff to utilize "first class" seating for air travel when the cost of doing so is economically reasonable in order to accommodate the special physical needs of the individuals and to permit such individuals to productively utilize air travel time to perform work for the Organization's ministry activities. When possible, the Organization utilizes frequent flyer miles/points to obtain an upgrade to first class seating. The Organization would prefer "business class" flight accommodations for such purposes; however, domestic air carriers do not generally offer business class. The Organization's Board of Directors considers the selective utilization of such accommodations to be good stewardship of the Organization's resources, as loss of productive work time would be costly for the Organization.Supplemental Information

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees on an annual basis. Each such individual provides an annual disclosure statement indicating that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, and certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy, or (3) they have previously undisclosed conflicts of interest and disclosing the details of such conflicts. Any disclosure statements with previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Organization's compensation-setting policy requires that an independent committee of the Board of Directors determine the compensation package of all officers and directors of the Organization. In addition, the independent committee of the Board of Directors reviews the salary levels of all employees who are family members of any officer or director, and, in the event that a family member employee is paid more than other individuals with similar positions within the Organization, the independent committee of the Board of Directors determines the compensation of that family member using the same compensation-setting procedures applicable to officers and directors. The independent committee of the Board of Directors considers, in setting such compensation, a compensation study by special legal counsel with expertise in the area of reasonable compensation for nonprofit executives, utilizing data regarding compensation paid to persons serving in similar capacities in comparable organizations as well as national compensation data such as that published by the National Association of Church Business Administrators, the Christian Management Association and Guidestar. These compensation studies are performed periodically.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Organization makes its financial statements and its Form 990 available to the public through the Organization's website. Financial statements, Form 990 and governing documents are available by mail upon request.
