“Compensation is set in the budget process by the Board of Directors. The process for determining compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer includes a review and approval by independent persons, comparable data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation process. Currently it is believed that the salary is below that of comparable organizations as IDSVA is in the growth phase.”
“The bylaws, which contain the conflict of interest policy, are published on the IDSVA website. Notice is given on the website that copies of Form 990 are available by request, with a contact email given.”
“The process has not changed from the prior year.”
“A conservative percentage of the interest income from the principal will be used to fund the Edgar E. Coons, Jr. Professorship of New Philosophy. The principal will be conserved and invested in a manner to maintain its value, and this principal amount will be permanently restricted.”
“The Institute adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determinted that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained up on examination by taxing authorities. It is the opinion of management that the Institute had no uncertain positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statments.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | The Institute adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determinted that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained up on examination by taxing authorities. It is the opinion of management that the Institute had no uncertain positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statments. |
