The China Aid Association Inc's NTEE code is X99. The "X" tells us that the organization is classified as Religion-Related. The "99" tells us that the organization falls under Religion-Related N.E.C.

The China Aid Association Inc appears to be well-governed based on the information provided. With a total of 8 voting members, including 7 independent members, the organization has a diverse and balanced board composition. The absence of potential conflicts of interest further enhances the credibility and integrity of the organization's governance structure.

This documentation allows for the tracking of decisions and actions taken by the board and committees, ensuring that they are in line with the organization's mission and objectives. The presence of a conflict of interest policy and the requirement for disclosure of conflicts further indicates a strong governance framework. This policy enables the organization to identify and address any potential conflicts among board members, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interest of the organization and its beneficiaries. While the organization does not have a written whistleblower policy or a document retention policy, the substantiation and review of leadership and officer salaries show a commitment to financial accountability and responsible leadership. This practice ensures that the organization's resources are used appropriately and that compensation is justified. One area where the organization could improve is in providing copies of the 990 to the board prior to filing. This would allow board members to review the organization's financial information and ensure that it is accurately represented in the annual filing. Overall, the China Aid Association Inc demonstrates strong governance practices, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and the avoidance of conflicts of interest.
