Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The completion of the federal federal Form 990 is done by the external audit and accounting firm, Raffa, P.C. They request information from SVA's bookkeeper who then fulfills the request with assistance from SVA's Executive Director. Raffa, P.C. then populates the federal Form 990 with the appropriate information. Raffa, P.C. also completes SVA's annual audit. Therefore, Raffa, P.C. ensures that the audited financial statements are the basis for the federal Form 990. Once the draft federal Form 990 is completed, it is submitted to SVA's Executive Director who reviews the federal Form 990 for any errors. After the Executive Director reviews it, it is submitted to the Board of Director's finance and accounting committee consisting of two Board members. After being reviewed by the finance and accounting committee, the draft federal Form 990 is reviewed and approved by the full Board of Directors and remitted to Raffa, P.C. to finalize and file with the Internal Revenue Service.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Hiring and salary decisions are reviewed and approved independently by a designated Board member, under authority delegated by the Board of Directors.
