Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part V, Line 2a: The Organization acts as a common paymaster for employees of the Organization, Cross Catholic Outreach, Inc. (an affiliated nonprofit organization which operates under common management with the Organization but is not "related" to the Organization for Form 990 reporting purposes), and another unrelated nonprofit ministry. The number of employees reported on this Form 990 only reflects those individuals who provided services directly to the Organization as an employee of the Organization. Likewise, this Form 990 only reflects the amount of wages paid to such employees for services provided to the Organization. As a result of this common paymaster arrangement, the number of employees and the amount of wages paid to employees as reported on this Form 990 are lower than the amounts reported on the Organization's Form W-3, Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Mr. Jim Brown has a family relationship with Mrs. Linda Brown.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees who provide a disclosure statement. Such disclosure statement indicates that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, and certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, or (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy. The Organization's President is tasked with obtaining updated disclosure statements from each Board member annually. Any previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The compensation of the President is set by two members of the Board of Directors who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the President. This independent committee utilizes comparability data compiled by an independent compensation consultant in its deliberations, and contemporaneously substantiates its deliberations and decisions. The President is responsible for setting the compensation of the Organization's other key executives. In setting such compensation, the President utilizes comparability data compiled by an independent compensation consultant, and contemporaneously substantiates his decisions.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization makes its financial statements and its Form 990 available to the public through the Organization's website. Financial statements and Form 990 are available by mail upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: Form 990, Part XI, Line 2c: The Organization's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year. An audit of the Organization's financial statements is conducted annually by an independent certified public accounting firm, which has resulted in the issuance of an unqualified opinion. In addition, the Organization is a fully accredited member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and, as such, subscribes to ECFA's Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship addressing: (1) operation in conformity with the Organization's evangelical Christian doctrinal statement, (2) oversight by a Board of Directors, the majority of which are independent, (3) submission of complete, accurate, audited financial statements, (4) proper management and financial controls over the use of the Organization's resources, (5) public availability of the Organization's current financial statements upon written request, (6) avoidance of conflicts of interest, and (7) responsible, truthful fund-raising practices.
