033: Nonprofit Basics: Conflict of Interest Policies and Best Practices for Approving Insider Compensation

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. This episode is the second in a series discussing insider transactions. In episode 32, I gave a general overview of the federal laws regulating the transaction of business between a nonprofit and its insiders, which includes directors, trustees, certain executives, substantial contributors, and entities controlled by directors or substantial contributors and their family members.  Today, I take a deeper dive into conflict of interest policies and considerations relevant to deciding which insiders need to respond to the organization's annual conflict of interest diligence procedures. In a later episode, we'll look closely at compensation decisions in particular.  Resources: IRS Resources on Rebuttable Presumption for Compensation IRS Form 4720 and Instructions IRS Sample COI Policy  IRS Instructions for Form 1023 Exemption Application EO Radio Show EP. 5: Nonprofit Basics: Navigating the Complex Rules That Describe A Public Charity EO Radio Show EP. 21: Loot and Private Foundation Rules – Part 1 EO Radio Show EP. 22: Loot and Private Foundation Rules - Part 2 EO Radio Show EP #32: Nonprofit Basics: Insider Transactions and Nonprofits – What's the Big Deal?
