Substantiation for such reimbursements was often, but not always, provided.

Evaluation in Process 0 Schedule L, Part I, Line 1 Taxpayer is evaluating recent allegations of excess benefit compensation and unauthorized expense reimbursement. As part of its remediation efforts, Taxpayer has engaged the professional assistance of a forensic auditing firm, legal counsel, and a new CPA. Taxpayer also has a new CEO and Treasurer.All of these individuals and firms have assisted the Taxpayer with efforts to change its governance and policies. Specifically, Taxpayer is in the process of adopting a revised Certificate of Formation and Bylaws which establish a Treasurer, and Finance and Audit Committee, separate from the CFO. Taxpayer also has approved new or revised policies concerning conflicts of interest, whistleblowing, executive compensation (consistent with Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6T), and travel and expense reimbursement. Structurally, Taxpayer has taken steps to end a cost-sharing agreement with United in Purpose, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(4), and has switched all payroll processing to run directly through Taxpayer's accounts.Taxpayer intends to undertake other actions consistent with the outcome and recommendations of a forensic audit including filing an amended Form 990 and amended W-2s by the end of the year upon completion of evaluation of the recent allegations, and demanding return of any excess benefit determined to have been conferred upondisqualified persons.

A complete copy of the return is provided to the Board prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c In addition to its Conflict of Interest Policy which required period review, the Board of Directors had a practice of discussing at its meetings that if any officer or director or key employee had a conflict, it must be disclosed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Taxpayer had an Independent Compensation Committee established per its Bylaws to which it appointed two members of its Board of Directors who were not also employees or officers of the Taxpayer. The Independent Compensation Committee members were present during an executive session of the Board in 2019 to discuss executive compensation, and they reviewed and discussed comparability data online, but the Committee did not document its deliberations in writing. A new Executive Compensation Policy has been adopted to also require contemporaneous substantiation of such deliveration and decisions in the future.
