Depending upon where the grant is administered, grant financial reports are either prepared locally at the chapter and reviewed by HQ finance, or by HQ finance directly. Women for Women staff work jointly with local staff to produce budgets for chapter offices outside the US. These budgets include grant funded and non-grant funded activities. Expenditures are monitored against the approved budget by both local chapter staff and US-based finance staff. The Chapter submits monthly detailed expense reports to the US office and US finance staff review spending reports and periodically request backup for significant or unusual expenses. Monthly expense reports are reviewed and approved by local finance staff and the Country Director. Explanation for Estimated Number of Recipients: Schedule F, Part III, Col (c): The number of women receiving training stipends is tracked in a database maintained by Women for Women. This database of enrolled women is the source for the monthly training stipend distribution list provided to the chapters.

X 20 94815 FMV 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 Women for Women amended our bylaws with the following goals: 1) to make the Bylaws compliant with the "Nonprofit Corporation Act of 2010" of the District of Columbia (the "Act"), which became effective January 1, 2012; 2) to reflect the ways that the Board of Directors of Women for Women International ("WWI") conducts business to further WWI's mission; 3) to implement further good governance practices; and 4) to simplify the Bylaws to the extent feasible in light of the above goals. Based on the IRS' guidance, the significant changes include: changes to the number of voting Board members, to specifically state that the CEO is a member of the Board, to limit the voting rights of the Chair and CEO for standing committees, and to define the responsibilities of Officers. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 Women for Women's finance staff reviews the financial aspects of the federal Form 990 to make sure results are properly stated and reconcile to the audited financial statements. The Global Leadership Team reviews both the financial and non-financial content for accuracy and completeness. Once the federal Form 990 is reviewed and approved by management it is reviewed by the Audit Committees of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of a segment of the Governing Body, and has been charged with the duty of reviewing the federal Form 990 due to their experience and knowledge with financial matters. The federal Form 990 is then emailed to the entire Board of Directors before filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c On an annual basis, Women for Women conducts a survey of Board of Directors' members and key employees to determine whether any conflicts exist. If a conflict arises, the Governance Committee of the Board of the Directors would evaluate any conflicts and determine if any action is necessary. If the Governance Committee determined that a conflict existed, it would take steps to limit the activities and authority of the Director, Officer, or Key Employee based on the nature of the conflict. We have no dealings with companies owned by Board of Directors' members, so this has not really been an issue for us. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Women for Women's Human Resources Director works with management and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors to review the position requirements. Women for Women then determines comparable market rates based on discussions with other non-profits, review of published compensation studies and review of salary histories for candidates who meet the stated requirements. The CEO or other hiring manager makes a recommendation which is reviewed and discussed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The request is approved or modified as needed. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances: Form 990, Part XI, line 5: Net unrealized gains on investments: 161,730.
