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

March 13, 2023 Podcast
EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource

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.
