Medicina Veterinria Preventiva e Sade Animal / FMVZ Universidade de So Paulo, Pirassununga/SP, Brazil The credibility of our program rests with farmers and ranchers meeting the high welfare standards we set by passing annual inspections. The program also must inspect processing plants to make sure that the slaughter of the the animals is humane and the handling of the animals before slaughter is gentle. In addition, traceability audits are performed on all products, ensuring that every package, carton, or case that has the Certified Humane logo on it can be traced back to the farm, barn, flock, or herd that was inspected and certified. HFAC continues to be the only animal welfare certification organization to conduct traceability audits. This requires three different types of inspectors. The first are those that have species-specific knowledge and do the on-farm inspections. They are usually University Professors with a master's degree or PhD in Animal Science or a DVM/VMD and have a great deal of expertise on the species they are inspecting. Additionally, slaughter/processor inspections require a different expertise. For example, only poultry scientists or poultry veterinarians would be considered to inspect poultry on the farm. Even with cows, scientists, or veterinarians with experience in dairy cows have different expertise than those with beef cattle experience. These inspectors are specially trained to understand what to look for during the slaughter process and how to recognize insensibility and careful handling techniques. Finally, the traceability auditors understand how to look for separation and segregation of products, how to do in/out audits to make sure the amount of product that comes in is the same amount that goes out, and and that non-certified product does not end up in packages with the Certified Humane seal. With every producer who agrees to abide by Humane Farm Animal Care's, Animal Care Standards, thousands more animals benefit, and many more farmers have a chance to see that they, too, can change the way they raise animals without fearing for their bottom line. Funding received has helped HFAC bring many small farms, whose inspection fees are waived, into our program. Our program manual describes the number of animals that qualify a farm for the "small farm exemption." If a farm meets those criteria, HFAC waives these fees to ensure that every producer that is willing to make and sustain the changes necessary to become Certified Humane can do so - no matter how small. All farms and processing plants are inspected annually to verify that they are meeting all the requirements as described in our Animal Care Standards. (The standards are available for download by consumers and producers alike from our Web site at www.certifiedhumane.org). HFAC has created an infrastructure and processes that meet the highest international standards for a certification body. The achievements of the Certified Humane program are the result of a committed staff, volunteers, supporters, as generous contributions from the public and foundations, and loyal consumer who request and shop for Certified Humane products. 2065396 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AK AL AR CA CO CT FL GA IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MO MS NC NH NJ NM OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WI WV X Mimi Stein 7034353883 8 N Jay Street 3rd Floor W Middleburg VA 20117 Mimi Dale Stein Executive Director 40.00 X 180016 0 6147 Adele Douglass CEO/Secretary 30.00 X X 57760 0 2385 Theresa Hutchinson Treasurer 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Forkan Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Jenkins Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Kimbrell Chairman & President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Luiz Mazzon Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Nowland Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 237776 0 8532 1 false true false 16989 95725 112714 Certification Fees 900099 2940981 0 0 Inspection Income 900099 681700 0 0 Application Fees 900099 21800 0 0 3644481 107581 0 107581 3864776 3644481 0 107581 237776 222796 14029 951 626925 587103 37171 2651 27087 25370 1604 113 80106 75029 4743 334 64531 60441 3821 269 118471 118471 0 0 21080 0 21080 0 336399 336399 0 0 12451 11662 737 52 72126 67555 4271 300 205532 205532 0 0 21458 20098 1271 89 348769 334940 11025 2804 2172711 2065396 99752 7563 828112 6569127 7192150 522246 667761 33571 48839 208610 141302 7333554 8878164 116587 59515 208739 142351 325326 201866 X 6127717 8035071 880511 641227 7008228 8676298 7333554 8878164 1692065 -23995 X false true X true false X 0 97636 355466 130068 1116834 112714 1812718 0 0 97636 355466 130068 1116834 112714 1812718 1281643 531075 6168 7980 1931 5538 107581 129198 0 0 1941916 14151496 0.27350 0.44460 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Right of Use Asset 137573 Deposit 2250 Accrued Interest 1479 141302 Operating Lease 142351 142351 X 3864776 3864776 3864776 2172711 2172711 2172711 Pt X, Line 2 Humane Farm Animal Care has adopted the accounting of uncertainty in income taxes as required by Income Taxes Topic (Topic 740) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Topic 740 requires HFAC to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable Standards Codification. Topic 740 requires HFAC to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals of litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, which could result in HFAC recording a tax liability that would reduce HFAC net assets. Management has analyzed Humane Farm Animal Care's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open years, 2020,2021 and 2022, or expected to be taken in its 2023 tax return. HFAC is not aware of any tax positions for which it believes that there is a reasonable possibility that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. false false false false false false false false false Mimi Dale Stein 180016 0 0 0 0 0 5435 0 712 0 186163 0 0 0 Theresa Hutchinson Treasurer 7873 Accounting services false Pt VI, Line 11b Organization's Process to Review form 990. The draft 990 is reviewed by the CEO and changes are made before sending it to the Treasurer to review and approve. Pt VI, Line 12c Enforcement of Conflicts Policy. We require all employees, board, volunteers, inspectors and independent contractors to complete a conflict of interest disclosure form. The conflicts of interest are listed on a master list and prior to a board meeting, for example, the list is circulated so if there is a discussion on any topic where a board member may have a conflict of interest, they will be excused from the discussion, vote, or any participation in that issue. If an inspector has a conflict of interest they will not be assigned an inspection where a conflict may exsist (such as they might do some consulting work for company/producer) Pt VI, Line 15a Compensation Process for Top Offical Hiring. a) Screening and Interviewing Personnel - Applicants' resumes are screened by the CEO using the qualifications in the job description for the position as screening criteria. The CEO arranges an interview with each candidate who passes the initial screening. The CEO invites other personnel to participate in the interview. b) Selecting Personnel - The CEO selects the top candidates and checks the candidates' references. The CEO makes the final decision on hiring, after consulting witht the potential employee's immediate supervisor and or the managing committee. Selection of employees shall be based soley upon their competence to perform the essential functions of the specific position, with or without reasonable accomodation. Minimum criteria for the competence of personnel are included in the job descriptions for staff and committee positions. In addition, the HFAC Administrative Procedures Manual provides instructions for the tasks to be carried out by persons holding staff and committee positions. c) Signing the Employment Agreement - Upon hiring, HFAC requires all personnel (including contractors and volunteers) involved in the certification process to sign a contract or other document by which they commit themselves: To conform with the standards, policies and procedures of HFAC : To sign a confidentiality Agreement, to fill out and submit a Declarations of Interest form and to submit an updated resume if position within HFAC changes, or at the request of the Chief Executive Officer. d) Hiring a Chief Executive Officer - The Board of Directors is responsible for recruiting and hiring the CEO using the procedures described above. e) Hiring Relatives of Existing Employees - The CEO may consider hiring qualified members of the immediate family of an employee. For this purpose only, an employee's family is designated as a spouse, domestic partner, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers, and sisters of employee or spouse/domestic partner, or dependents living in the employee's household. However, if an employee's immediate family member is hired, certain restrictions apply unless an exception to one or more requirements is made with the written authorization of the CEO: "An employee's family memeber will not directly or indirectly exercise supervisory, appointment or dismissal authority or disiplinary action over another family member." One family member will not audit, verify, receive, or be entrusted with moneys received or handled by the other's family member. f) Hiring Employees Transferring from Another Position - If an employee would like to be considered for a transfer to another position, the emplyee should discuss the possibility of making this change with his/her supervisor. Transfers may be considered when an opening exsists if it is in the best interest and needs of HFAC. As for other methods of filling a position, primary consideration is given to qualifications, experience, training, interest, and ability to meet the job requirements as indicated on job descriptions. Filling positions with personnel transferring from another HFAC position also involves evaluation of past job performance in relation to the skills and experience required for the new position.
