Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped and mailed with certified return receipt or the signed form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The conflict of interest policy is received by all staff at the time of hire and reviewed by the Manager of Operations for questions. Additionally, all SEEDS employees are trained mediators and therefore coached on the meaning and risks of conflict of interest. If theres a potential conflict of interest, the Manager of Operations discloses it to the Executive Director. When there is a question regarding a potential conflict of interest, the staff person checks in with their supervisor and the supervisor discusses with the Executive Director. Decisions are documented in the meeting notes. Often the team decides together how to mitigate a conflict of interest. This might include assigning a different staff person to a certain project or developing boundary agreements. We also have a strong practice of disclosure, meaning we let all affected parties know about potential conflicts of interest. On especially concerning situations, the personnel committee of the Board of Directors is consulted. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a Determined by the boards personnel committee based on Annual performance evaluation, and then approved by the full board.
