Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm and a draft is sent to the organization's management team to review. The management team reviews the 990 draft, as well as the organziation's legal counsel.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe foundation requires the following categories of individuals to annually sign and submit a conflict of interest statement to the president and CEO, or senior vice president, finance and administration: 1) Board of Trustees; 2) Officers; 3) Staff; and 4) other specific appointees as designated by the president and CEO or board of trustees. The president and ceo of the foundation maintains and annually updates a file of conflict of interest statements signed by each of the above named individuals. All board of trustee members receive a conflict of interest statement each year for completion following their election to the board. In addition, each new trustee receives a conflict of interest statement upon their election. If an individual has a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest in connection with any IFIC Foundation transaction or matter, they must immediately notify the President and CEO of the Foundation, or the Board Chair, and disclose all of the material facts concerning the actual or potential conflict of interest and their relationship to the transaction or matter at issue. If the conflict of interest arises in connection with the activities of any deliberative body (e.g., the board of trustees), the individual with the conflict must immediately disclose the conflict to the other members of the body and the individual must not participate in the deliberation, consideration or vote on the transaction or matter at issue. A notation must be made in the minutes of any meeting at which deliberation, consideration or vote on the transaction or matter at issue is undertaken indicating that the individual with a conflict or potential conflict of interest was excused from the meeting during the time consideration of the transaction or matter was undertaken, took no part in any discussion pertaining to the transaction or matter and refrained from voting on the transaction or matter.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe President and CEO compensation is reviewed by the IFIC executive committee at each annual meeting.
