Board Governance

The Salvation Church Of God Inc. appears to have a relatively small governing body, consisting of 8 voting members, with 6 of them being independent. This indicates that the organization values diverse perspectives and input from individuals who are not directly affiliated with the church. However, it is worth noting that potential conflicts of interest exist within the organization, which may require careful management and transparency. One positive aspect of the organization's governance is that both board meetings and committee meetings are documented. This suggests a commitment to transparency and accountability, as decisions and discussions are recorded for future reference. Additionally, the organization provides copies of the 990 form to the board prior to filing, which further demonstrates a commitment to transparency and ensuring that board members are well-informed about the organization's financial activities. However, there are areas where the Salvation Church Of God Inc. could improve its governance practices. The organization does not have a conflict of interest policy, which could leave it vulnerable to potential conflicts among board members or individuals involved in decision-making processes. Similarly, the lack of a written whistleblower policy and document retention policy may hinder the organization's ability to effectively address and prevent misconduct or ensure proper record-keeping. Furthermore, the organization does not substantiate or review leadership and officer salaries, which could raise concerns about financial accountability and potential conflicts of interest. Without these policies and practices in place, it may be difficult for the organization to ensure that leadership compensation is fair and aligned with the organization's mission and financial capabilities. Overall, while the Salvation Church Of God Inc. demonstrates some positive governance practices, such as documenting meetings and providing financial information to the board, there are areas where the organization could strengthen its governance framework to enhance transparency, accountability, and mitigate potential conflicts of interest.
