Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The organization's Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer in detail. The 990 was then provided electronically to all members of the board for their review and comment. Board members were then given at least one week to review the Form 990 and send comments to the Chief Financial Officer. After all comments and questions were addressed, the 990 was filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Board members and senior staff including officers are required to complete a Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire on an annual basis. Signed statements are reviewed by the Audit and Finance Committee. Disclosures are required to be updated with potential conflicts as they become known throughout the year. If a conflict is identified by management or by the board, the person with a conflict recuses themselves from the decision-making process, and the board votes on whether or not to engage in the transaction, based on whether it is in the best interests of Mercy Ships International. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Mercy Ships International does not compensate any officers, directors, or management. In accordance with the instructions, these questions have been answered no. If at some point compensation plans are considered, the organization will adopt the compensation process used by Mercy Ships. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Mercy Ships International makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available for public inspection at the International Support Center during regular business hours. Documents are also made available upon written request.
