        <Explanation>Maine Veterans Homes lobbying costs include a portion of dues paid to the Maine Health Care Association. It also includes the preparation of documents and research in the support of State and Federal legislation by the law firms of Larouche and Dyer and Piper Rudnick. Tax year 2009 was an unusually active year for Maine Veterans Homes with regard to lobbying, because we took the lead nationally in finding a solution to the problems caused for numerous states by the implementation of P.L. 109-461.</Explanation>

Recurring internal audits are performed throughout the year in all functions. An external audit is conducted by an independent auditor annually, including looking at all areas of potential conflict of interest (COI). Finally, MVH has a 24 hour, toll free compliance hotline that staff or public may report any concerns or issues, including COI. These will be investigated by the Compliance Officer who reports directly to the Board on such matters. For Board business that involves any potential COI, the member is required to recuse himself from the decision making process and it is documented in the Board minutes.</Explanation>
