Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part III Statement of Program Service Accomplishments

The center for justice and democracy works to raise public awareness about the value of this nation's civil justice system, inform the public about the dangers of tort reform and the stealth corporate campaign behind it, support efforts to stop and repeal tort reform laws.

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

ROUNDING 1.

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

The center's board is responsible for the selection of an independent accountant to conduct the annual audit. The board is also responsible for oversight of the audit and discussing the results with the accountant at the audit's conclusion. This process has not changed from prior years.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The center has adopted accounting standards codification ("asc") 740 "income taxes." asc 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the center's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. The center has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. The center's forms 990, return of organization exempt for income tax, for the years ending december 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014 are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.
