“The organization has a body of membership that have submitted applications for their membership to the Board of Trustees, who review and approve memberships in accordance with the Society's by-laws.”
“The membership of the Society elect the members of the Board of Trustees at the Society's annual meeting, which is held each year in November.”
“Decisions of the Board of Trustees are subject to approval of the members.”
“The Board of Trustees reviews Form 990 and it is approved by the audit and finance committee.”
“Conflicts of interest are documented first and later discussed in Board of Directors meeting.”
“The Governing Documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request at the Society's office. Also, the financial statements are on file with the Massachusetts Attorney General's office, Public Charities Division as the financial statements are required to be submitted annually with the Massachusetts Form PC.”
“Expenses on books not recorded on Form 990 -8,408.”
“Accounting Method: Modified Cash Basis”
“The Society's Trustees have established an audit committee, made up of members of the Board of Trustees that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of the independent auditor.”
“The Society has a collection of inexhaustible arts and books. The items are on display at the Society's offices located in the Boston National Historical Park. They reveal not only the history of a distinguished institution but also help tell the story of one of the America's oldest and most important ports.”
“In accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Society is exempt from federal and state income taxes on its income and, accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. Instead, the Society is liable for federal and state taxes on the Society's unrelated taxable business income. These determinations have been reviewed according to guidance in a recent Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of December 31, 2015, the Society has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Society is generally subject to potential examination by taxing jurisdictions for the three prior years.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Society has a collection of inexhaustible arts and books. The items are on display at the Society's offices located in the Boston National Historical Park. They reveal not only the history of a distinguished institution but also help tell the story of one of the America's oldest and most important ports. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | In accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Society is exempt from federal and state income taxes on its income and, accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. Instead, the Society is liable for federal and state taxes on the Society's unrelated taxable business income. These determinations have been reviewed according to guidance in a recent Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of December 31, 2015, the Society has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Society is generally subject to potential examination by taxing jurisdictions for the three prior years. |
