ExplanationPart VI, Lines 6, 7a, & 7b The organization has 30 members, who elect the members of the governing body, approve significant decisions and pay a share of the organization's dues or share in the organization's net assets upon dissolution. Part VI, Line 11b Financial team prepares and reviews the amounts reported, senior management reviews the Form 990 to ensure all questions are answered properly and our tax consultants (Ernst & Young) review to ensure the Form 990 is properly completed. Part VI, Line 12c On an annual basis, employees submit a signed document indicating they are in compliance with the policies of the organization. All the employees of the NHL and related entities must comply with the Compliance Plan/Policy. Each employee is required to affirmatively confirm each year by signing a representation that they are in full compliance. In addition with requiring each employ to comply with Federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations, it also addresses policies, among others, that deal with conflicts of interest, confidentially and insider trading, dealing with member clubs (membership), business partners, accurate and complete records, antitrust laws, as well as matters dealing with conduct (e.g., gambling and other social matters). The policy include an up to date listing of all the entities, including business partners, that to help monitor conflict of interest guidelines. To police the policy, compliance officers are appointed to deal with matters either, uncovered, brought forth by individuals directly or by way of third party complains, which, in all cases, are investigated and dealt with immediately and, if necessary, reported to Human Resources for further action. Outside expert counsel are used for advice. Each year all employees are required to attend a formal training sessions. Each Compliance Officer is also required to attend an annual formal training session on how to deal with cases. All employees are expected to adhere to the policy. If a Compliance Officer concludes, after appropriate investigation, that the policy has been violated-whether by unlawful actions, condoning or failing to report information as to criminal actions by others, retribution against those who report suspected wrongdoing, or otherwise - he is authorized to recommend appropriate discipline, including discharge.
