Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Symphony's conflict of interest policy covers governors, officers, employees and volunteers of the San Francisco Symphony. The policy is reviewed annually by the Committee on Governors of the Board of Governors, who shall have final authority to determine what may be a conflict of interest and how to address the conflict. Each governor, committee member, officer and key employee is required to annually complete a disclosure form identifying conflicts of interest. Once identified, conflicts of interest are addressed as established in the Symphony's conflict of interest policy. The Chief Financial Officer of the Symphony maintains the disclosure forms and insures compliance of the established policy. Generally, a conflicted party may not participate in any discussions or decisions on matters where they may be conflicted. The conflicted party is required to disclose any conflicts or potential conflicts on the matter being considered. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Administrative Compensation Committee (Committee) of the Board of Governors determines the compensation package of the Executive Director (ED) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Symphony. The Committee will meet annually to review and approve the compensation and benefit package for the ED and CFO. The Committee relies on comparability data prepared by the Director of Human Resources for the same or similar positions in comparable orchestras in the United States and similar positions for non-profits in the San Francisco Bay Area. The ED and CFO are not present for any deliberations of the committee nor do they have access to the information presented to the Committee by the Director of Human Resources. During the fiscal year being reported, the Committee reviewed the compensation package on 10/9/2009 and 4/5/2010. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The required organizational documents of the Symphony will be available (for inspection or copying) at Davies Symphony Hall during normal business hours at no charge. The public inspection copy of the Symphony's form 990 and the audited financial reports, from the previous three years (at a minimum), will be available (for inspection or copying) at Davies Symphony Hall during normal business hours at no charge. When responding to a public inspection request for financial statements or the form 990 by anyone, the Symphony shall fulfill such request in a timely fashion without inquiring as to the reason for the public inspection request. In addition, the Symphony's form 990 is available to the public on the internet at Guidestar. Schedule A, Part II and Schedule D, Part XI: During the current fiscal year, management discovered that previously recognized contributions were to be conditional on certain matching contributions and the prior year statements were restated, accordingly. It was determined that the restatements would not have a significant impact on the organizatin's public support calculation so the 2008 Form 990, Schedule A was not amended. Accordingly, the 2008 contributions have been restated on the current return on Schedule A.
