New Program Services Form 990, Part III, line 2 Following two programs, which are described in Part III, Line 4, are new programs services: - Leadership Summit, and - Employment Initiative Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The completion of the Form 990 is done by the external audit and accounting firm, Raffa. They request information from SVA's bookkeeper who then fulfills the request with assistance from SVA's Executive Director. Raffa then populates the Form 990 with the appropriate information. Raffa also completes SVA's annual audit. Therefore, Raffa ensures that the audited financial statements are the basis for the 990. Once the Form 990 draft is completed, it is submitted to SVA's Executive Director who reviews the 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 Form 990 is reviewed and approved by the full Board of Directors and remitted to Raffa to finalize and file. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Board of Directors adopted an ethics and conflicts of interest policy in 2010. The policy is provided to all leaders in the Organization and must be filed annually. The Board monitors and enforces compliance violations. Individual trustees and key employees are required to disclose conflicts of interests as it pertains to the interests of SVA. 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. Salaries are based on a comparison of local costs of living, average rates of compensation, and in relation to the Executive Director's salary. Pay is adjusted for changes in location if they occur during employment. This is reflected in key employee's contracts. The process of setting employee salaries was incorporated into the employee search process. The Executive Director and Development Director search processes were conducted by a committee of the Board of Directors. All other employee search and hiring processes are conducted by the Executive Director and approved by a board member designated to provide independent review and approval for the Board of Directors. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization's bylaws are publicly available on the Organization website and available upon request. Financial statements and the conflicts of interest policy are provided to the public by emailing a request to contact@studentveterans.org.
