No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as NBCRNA has had no significant unrelated business income. NBCRNA follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. NBCRNA recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. NBCRNA has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2020. true North Carolina Baptist Hospital MEDICAL CENTER BOULEVARD WINSTON SALEM NC 27157 560552787 501(C)(3) 25000 0 N/A N/A Grant for Re-entry Program Simulation Testing Center equipment purchase.

The decision is contemporaneously documented in the board minutes of the meeting. The CEO signs a yearly employment agreement detailing the compensation. Due to no salary adjustments in 2020, comparability data was not used in this analysis and therefore, we are marking this question "no," per instructions. This was last conducted in 2018, when adjustments were made. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to Establish Compensation of Other Officers and Employees NBCRNA performs benchmarking of salaries for all officers and key employees using comparability data approximately every three years. The process was last undertaken in 2018. The Executive Committee reviews salaries annually. Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee The Executive Committee shall act upon such urgent matters as may be referred to it during intervals between meetings of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by law and as specified by the Board of Directors. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The full Form 990 (as ultimately filed with the IRS) is sent electronically to the Finance Committee and then to the full board for review and approval prior to filing the return with the IRS. The paid tax preparer also presents a summary review of the significant changes to Form 990 at a Finance Committee meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy Each board member signs a conflict of interest disclosure in the fall of each year, noting any potential conflicts that may exist. At each board meeting, the directors are asked to disclose any conflicts they might have. The reported conflicts of interest are monitored by the CEO and applicable staff throughout the year. If a potential conflict exists, the organization seeks legal clarification and the individual will abstain from voting on any issues that relate to the conflict disclosed. Employees annually sign written statements to affirm compliance with the organization's conflict of interest policy. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public Financial statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policies are not required disclosures pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6104. These documents are not available to the public at this time.
