After the Form 990 has been approved by the Executive Committee, it is emailed to the Board and then filed with the Internal Revenue Service. A presentation is made at the next Board of Directors meeting to update the full Board regarding its review of the Form 990. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts The filing organization enforces compliance with their conflict of interest policy by annually administering a conflict of interest questionnaire.
