CRLA's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 Form 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 12c Conflict 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 15a Process 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 19 Availability 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.
