Part IV, Line 2b:As a law firm, in some cases the organization holds clients funds in trust. Funds are paid out after settlement of the case, based on court instructions, or otherwise as appropriate.
Part X, Line 2:CRLA is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by CRLA in their federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. CRLA's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Special Events Expense 53,178. Tenant Expense 150,698.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Form 990 Review Process: The Controller provides information to the CPA firm, which prepares a first draft of Form 990. The first draft is reviewed by the Controller and changes and corrections are submitted to the CPA firm, which prepares a second draft. The second draft is reviewed by the Board Audit Committee Chair. After approval by the Audit Committee Chair, a final Form 990 is prepared and made available to the full Board. The Audit Committee Chair reports to the full Board as necessary.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cConflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement: Officers, directors or trustees, and key employees are asked to complete a questionnaire at the beginning of each year. The questionnaire asks the individual to identify potential conflicts, including family members associated with the organization, business relationships with the organization, and/or ownership of or Board membership with entities doing business with the organization. When such situations exist, the relationships are reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board (absent any involved parties) to ensure that there are no excess benefit situations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aProcess of Determining Executive Director Compensation: The Board has a Director's Evaluation Standing Committee. With the assistance of an independent consultant, a performance evaluation of the Executive Director was completed. A survey of Executive Director compensation among California legal aid organizations was also prepared. Even though California Rural Legal Assistance is one of the two largest legal aid organizations in California, the Board chose a compensation level that put the Executive Director in the mid-level of the range. This process last occurred in 2005, when the Executive Director last received an increase in compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Availability of Documents to the Public: Governing documents and conflict of interest policy are made available to the public by direct request only. Financial statement information is available through publication of an annual report. Report of annual audited financial statements is also available to the public by request.
