Among the many changes for reporting to the IRS scheduled to take place 
this year, I found the following for "Organizations Exempt From Income 
Tax" quite interesting:

2008 Instructions for Form 990 - Return of Organization Exempt From 
Income Tax
Part VI Governance, Management, and Disclosure

"Lines 13 and 14. Whistleblower and *document retention policies. *A 
whistleblower policy encourages staff and volunteers to come forward 
with credible information on illegal practices or violations of adopted 
policies of the organization, specifies that the organization will 
protect the individual from retaliation, and identifies those staff or 
board members or outside parties to whom such information can be 
reported*. A document retention and destruction policy identifies the 
record retention responsibilities of staff, volunteers, board members, 
and outsiders for maintaining and documenting the storage and 
destruction of the organization's documents and records.* Answer *"Yes"* 
if the organization had these policies in place as of the last day of 
the organization's tax year."
