Event Synopsis:
The redesigned Form 990 reflects the Internal Revenue Service’s expanded regulations on not-for-profits’ corporate governance. The revised form has added numerous questions to identify activities and transactions that may affect their tax-exempt status and the possibility that their board or management be subject to sanctions. It is therefore essential that not-for-profits and their advisors be familiar with recent nonprofit tax compliance, governance and Form 990 issues to avoid pitfalls.
The Knowledge Group is assembling a panel of distinguished experts to provide an in-depth discussion on how not-for-profits can comply with the complicated tax reporting requirements and how to formulate governance policies to help them maintain their not-for-profit status and be able to properly answer the questions required on Form 990. Speakers will address key issues including:
- Overview of the Revised Form 990
- Implications of the Revised Form 990 to Corporate Governance and Executive Compensation
- Guidelines and Best Practices in Implementing Governance Policies and Procedures
- Tax Reporting Compliance
- Political Activities
- And Up-to-the-Minute Regulatory Updates
Participants will have the opportunity to participate and ask questions as part of this live event.
