Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped and mailed with certified return receipt or the signed form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Business transactions over $20,000 and all funding requests are reported to and approved by the Board of Directors. Any transactions that may present a conflict of interest or present any ties to any officer, director or employee is investigated by an appointed member of the board. If there is any conflict of interest found, a disclosure of conflict of interest must be presented to the board. The board (absent of the conflict of interest member) will then vote to decide whether to move forward with the transaction in the best interest of the organization. Best interest is considered a transaction that will benefit the growth and advancement of the programs of the organization and it must be considered that the transaction would have occurred regardless of any ties or conflicts of interest to related parties of the organization. If the resolution passes with a majority vote, then the transaction will be adopted. If it does not pass with a majority vote, then the transaction will be denied. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management In determining compensation for key employees, research is done by the Board of Directors to determine industry standard compensation for the key employee's position. Then research is presented to the Board by the designated board member and a standard rate of compensation is presented to a vote. If the rate passes by a majority vote, then the compensation is adjusted to that rate. However, if the rate does not pass by a majority vote and the board requires further research be made, then the resolution is tabled for another board meeting and the key employees rate of compensation remains the same.
