Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11
“Line 11a explanation - management reviews the draft copy of the form 990. Then a copy of the form 990 is provided in final draft form to the board upon receipt from the independent accounting firm. The board is provided an opportunity to review the 990 and discuss it at a regular or special board meeting. Acadia center then files the 990 after board comment and review.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“Conflicts are monitored by requiring staff to identify any activities they seek to engage in during or outside the scope of employment that might have an impact on acadia center. These issues are brought to the attention of the president who then makes a determination as to whether there is a conflict or not; the finance and operations manager is also included in that process. Acadia center staff participate in a number of standing conference calls each week that offer opportunities to raise questions around any issue that might raise an actual or appearance of conflicts and are discussed with the team on the call. Acadia center has a standing policy to not solicit donations or other revenue from private corporations including but not limited to utilities and other energy companies and to selectively seek government funding when it supplements and furthers the organization's mission and does not present any actual or appearance of conflicts.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The president's salary level is reviewed by the board in a closed session. Information comparing the salary level to other non-profits of comparable size and skill is researched by acadia center's management and provided in summary form to the board. For other employees, acadia center's procedure is for the president to establish individual compensation levels. Acadia center reviews compensation levels of employees of comparable non-profits and government positions through information available in 990 filings, guidestar, conversations with other organizations and salary surveys when available.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“Acadia center seeks to be in full compliance with any public inspection requirement and provides materials on its website and offers to make materials available for public inspection upon request. 990 returns and annual reports are available to the public.”

Supplemental Narrative
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The organization follows the provisions of fasb asc 740-10 accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. It also prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. There were no liabilities (or reduction in amounts refundable) for unrecognized tax benefits at december 31, 2015 and 2014, and no interest or penalties were accrued. The organization is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the internal revenue service and state taxing authorities for the years ended december 31, 2012 through 2015.”
