Program Description
The IRS has proposed sweeping changes to the Form 990, which is filed by almost all tax-exempt organizations, including hospitals. Because of these changes you will need to modify some information-gathering procedures in your hospital and, more importantly, you also may need to modify corporate policies to stay in compliance. The revised Form 990 will gather substantial amounts of information about your hospital, almost all of which will be subject to public inspection. You will need to report compensation and benefits for executives and key employees, information on business relationships with board members and others, information about your charity care and bad debt policies and many other items.
This audioconference will cover the procedural changes that likely will be needed to gather the information required by the form and the new questions that could require modification of corporate policies. The faculty will also outline key action steps hospitals should implement now to get ready for the form.
