Form 990, Part III, line 2 Community Engagement - JULIAN engages in organizing and advocacy work to engage community stakeholders and government officials to drive reform related to law enforcement practices, by showcasing successful intervention by the Department of Justice, such as in Lexington, Mississippi, where police abuse has nearly halted. JULIAN aims to increase federal oversight and reforms that can be applied to small police departments nationwide. These efforts seek to create lasting change in law enforcement accountability and transparency. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Currently, the organization's Form 990 is not reviewed by a committee prior to filing, as this procedure is not required by JULIAN's existing bylaws. However, updated bylaws for JULIAN are in progress, and are planned to include a formal review of the Form 990 by the board of directors before it is filed. This change is being implemented to enhance our governance and ensure greater oversight of our financial reporting. Currently, the annual Form 990 preparation is completed by an external accountant. In lieu of an independent board review, upon completion of the initial draft, the Form 990 is reviewed by the organization's President, Jill Collen Jefferson, to ensure that all information is accurate and properly reflects the organization's activities. The President's review focuses on the completeness and accuracy of both financial and programmatic details. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The conflict of interest policy covers all members of the Board of Directors, including officers, and all key employees of JULIAN. These covered persons are required to complete and update an annual Conflict of Interest Declaration, and are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest as they are identified. JULIAN's Conflict of Interest policy is administered by the Board of Directors with assistance from the President, Jill Collen Jefferson. Disclosures of any possible conflicts of interest are made to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or President, but any action regarding possible covered transactions are reviewed and approved by the full board, or a committee acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, absent any participation from the conflicted party. Documentation regarding the review of covered transactions and the final decision are maintained as a future reference about the nature and resolution of any identified conflicts. At a minimum, employees with a conflict of interest must be absent from any discussions of relevant transactions. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements, and Form 990 available to the public upon request.
