A copy of such relevant comparable financial information, including a description of how the data was obtained, shall be maintained as a part of the records of board or appropriate committee making such compensation decision. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a The Board of Directors meets and discusses the compensation for all employees. The Board votes on and approves the compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, policies and financial statements are provided based on Board discretion. Statement Note 1 During the preparation of the current year Form 990, it was identified that the beginning balance sheet numbers from the prior year were incomplete as they did not include inventory amounts. To correct this oversight, inventory was added to the beginning balance sheet balance, which resulted in a corresponding increase to retained earnings. This adjustment ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the organization's assets and equity as of the beginning of the year.
