Subsequent to the audit committee review, the organization made its Form 990 available to all members of its Board of Trustees for their review. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing and approving the form 990, including the preparation, review and filing process. As part of its annual audit and tax return preparation process, the organization hired a professional CPA firm with expertise in not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the form 990. The CPA firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals to obtain information needed to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The CPA firm prepared a draft form 990 to be reviewed by and discussed with the organization's finance personnel and other individuals. Revisions were made to the draft form 990 where necessary. The CPA firm provided a final draft to the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals for final review and approval prior to presentation to the organization's audit committee and thereafter provision to all members of the Board of Trustees. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Question 12C The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually, all trustees, officers and key employees are required to complete a questionnaire in accordance with the organization's conflict of interest policy. The completed questionnaires are returned to the organization's Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the questionnaires with the President and Chief External Affairs Officer to surface any potential conflicts that may need to be discussed at a subsequent board meeting. 990 PART VI, SECTION B, QUESTION 15A Compensation for the President is discussed and determined by the Audit and Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, taking into account compensation packages of comparable organizations (e.g., higher education institutions and other education-related nonprofit organizations in New York City). The board discusses the President's compensation and applicable comparable salary data. The independent board members then determine the compensation without the non-independent board members present. The offer of employment for the President is formally extended by the Board Chair. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, QUESTION 19 The organization makes its 990 and financial statements available to the public upon written request.
