process of reviewing form 990form 990, part vi, section b, question 11The Board of Trustees has delegated the review of the Form 990 to the Audit Committee. The organization's Chief Financial Officer works closely with the outside accounting firm it engages to review the return; and the final form of the 990 return is also reviewed by the Controller prior to providing the form to the Audit Committee.

Pursuant to the Conflict of Interest Policy, an annual conflict of interest questionnaire, aimed at determining any family and business relationships and transactions or other transactions that may pose a potential conflict, is distributed to all covered persons (i.e., board members, officers and executive leadership or key employees). Covered persons are required to disclose real or potential conflicts at the time when such conflicts arise. When someone becomes a covered person and annually thereafter, each covered person is required to sign a statement affirming that he/she: (1) has received a copy of the Conflict of Interest Policy; (2) has read the Policy and understands said Policy; and (3) agrees to comply with all requirements of the Policy, including completing the conflict of interest questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are reviewed by the Board Secretary and any persons with actual or potential conflicts are informed via written communication. The procedures for addressing any conflict of interest includes, but is not limited to, the following: (1) the conflicting interest is fully disclosed to the Board; (2) the interested person responds to factual questions related to the substance of the transaction or arrangement being considered, after which he/she shall leave the meeting; (3) the person with the conflict of interest is excluded from the discussion and approval or disapproval of such transaction; (4) alternatives to the proposed transaction are investigated, competitive bids or comparable valuations are obtained; (5) any conflicting issues during the course of a Board meeting which cannot be resolved is referred to the Executive Committee; and (6) the transaction or action must be approved by a majority of disinterested persons.
