Dewey & Kaye Nonprofit Whistleblower Service

With the advent of the Internal Revenue Service's revised Form 990, there is increased emphasis placed on good governance practices.

Executive Compensation and the IRS:
Does Your Organization Meet the “Reasonable” Standard?

The revised Form 990 that is required to be used for the 2008 fiscal year (tax returns filed in 2009 and 2010) has been designed to be much more than a financial document. It is now the primary source of information about an organization’s governance, operations, and programs and is open to public inspection and therefore serves as a key tool by the IRS, state charity officials and the public. The expansion of the Form 990 is due in large part to the new governance (Board of Directors) objectives that are included for the first time.

Although the IRS does not require charities to have governance and management policies, the IRS will review an organization’s application for exemption and their annual Form 990’s to determine whether the organization has implemented policies relating to executive compensation, conflicts of interest, investments, fundraising, documenting governance decisions, document retention and destruction, and whistleblower claims.
