Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“A board member is assigned to review the form 990 on site. The review is done along with the school's financial manager. Computerized accounting system (quickbooks) is used as the main source of information when looking through the different categories and amounts of the form 990. In the event that the financial manager is unable to answer some questions, the next step is to contact the cpa firm. At this point, the cpa firm is able to answer any questions in regards to the preparation of the form 990 and provide additional information as needed. Once the board member is satisfied with the review, he or she will sign the form 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request by mailing.”

The school presently discloses or recognizes income tax positions based on management's estimate of whether it is reasonably possible or probable that a liability has been incurred for unrecognized income taxes. Management has concluded that the school has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment in it financial statements. U.s. Forms 990 filed by the school are subject to examination by taxing authorities.”
