| IRS990ScheduleD/Form990ScheduleDPartXIII/Explanation | 0 | Tax positions taken or expected to be taken, including the position that the Society qualifies as a tax exempt entity, in the course of preparing the Societys tax returns are required to be evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be accrued and disclosed in the financial statements. The Society does not have any uncertain tax positions at August 31, 2013 and 2012 which require accrual or disclosure. The Society believes it is no longer subject to examinations by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for any years prior to August 31, 2010. The Societys policy is to recognize any interest and penalties related to tax matters in tax expense in the year the expense is incurred. |
