A complete package of information is given to the CPA to prepare the Form 990. The director assigned to review the tax return works with the CPA during the entire tax return preparation process and dialogues all issues during the tax return preparatin process.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c ALL STAFF, BOARD MEMBERS, CONTRACTORS, AND VOLUNTEERS OWE A DUTY TO ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF JIJ AND TO AVOID ANY SITUATION IN WHICH PERSONAL, FINANCIAL, OR OTHER OUTSIDE INTERESTS COULD CONFLICT, OR APPEAR TO CONFLICT, WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ANY ACTUAL, POTENTIAL, OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST AS SOON AS IT ARISES. JIJ'S POLICY FAVORS PREVENTION AND RESOLUTION OVER MERE DISCLOSURE. WHILE DISCLOSURE AND RECUSAL ARE NECESSARY FIRST STEPS, THE PREFERRED OUTCOME IS TO RESOLVE THE UNDERLYING CONFLICT ENTIRELY, WHETHER BY ENDING THE CONFLICTING RELATIONSHIP, DIVESTING THE INTEREST, OR REASSIGNING DUTIES, SO THAT JIJ'S INDEPENDENCE AND INTEGRITY REMAIN UNCOMPROMISED. NO MEMBER OF JIJ MAY USE THEIR POSITION, INFORMATION, OR INFLUENCE OBTAINED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION FOR PERSONAL GAIN OR TO BENEFIT FAMILY MEMBERS, ASSOCIATES, OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES. ALL DISCLOSURES ARE REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OR BY THE BOARD IN MATTERS INVOLVING SENIOR LEADERSHIP, TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE STEPS FOR RESOLUTION OR MITIGATION. FAILURE TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, OR TO COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY, MAY RESULT IN DISCIPLINARY ACTION, UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR REMOVAL FROM OFFICE. AS JIJ EXPANDS ITS SOLICITATION OF GIFTS FROM A BROADER BASE OF HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATIONS, AND CORPORATIONS, OUR FORM 990 INCREASINGLY SERVES A SECONDARY FUNCTION AS A PUBLIC FACING DOCUMENT THAT REFLECTS THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNANCE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPORTERS. RECOGNIZING THAT SOPHISTICATED DONORS TAKE A CLOSE INTEREST IN HOW CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE MANAGED AMONG BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF, JIJ HAS CHOSEN TO PROACTIVELY DISCLOSE ITS GENERAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY WITHIN THIS FILING.
