The errors discovered and the effect of correcting those errors on the 2015 financial statements are as follows: cfi reassessed the liability related to gift annuity obligations based upon life expectancy as of the end of december 31, 2015 and 2014, resulting in an adjustment to that liability. Additionally, trust income previously recognized prior to 2015 was determined to be revocable. Accordingly, the net assets as of december 31, 2014 have been restated by $336,530.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART III, LINE 4:

“Library collection: the organization has a collection of library materials, including books, periodicals and other items to be used in educational conferences to increase public appreciation for humanism and skepticism.”

PART V, LINE 4:

“The endowment funds are held by the center for inquiry development fund, a related organization. The funds are used to promote the center for inquiry, inc. Mission and program activities.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Uncertain tax positions the organization is exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. It is highly certain that some positions taken for income tax purposes would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements only to the extent that an uncertain tax position, if any, is attributable to the organizations. Management continually evaluates its tax positions and, as a result of this evaluation, nothing has been reported in the consolidated financial statements as management does not consider the financial effects of uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, to have a direct and material effect on the determination of consolidated financial statement amounts taken as a whole. The tax returns for 2013 through 2016 remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service for u.s. Federal tax purposes and also by new york state for state tax purposes.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Revenues of affiliated organizations consolidated for financial statements, 249,538. Impairment loss -23,830.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Expenses of affiliated organizations consolidated for financial statements 150,496.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0CONFERENCEHELD NATIONAL CSICON IN LAS VEGAS, NV OCTOBER 27-30TODAY YOU TURNED ON YOUR COMPUTER OR YOUR PHONE AND FACEBOOK TOLD YOU THAT VACCINES ARE AN EVIL GOVERNMENT PLOT, TWITTER TOLD YOU THAT THE SUN IS REVOLVING AROUND A FLAT EARTH, AND THE HOUSE SCIENCE COMMITTEE TOLD YOU THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. MEANWHILE, UP IS DOWN, TRUE IS FALSE, OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EASTASIA, AND DOGS AND CATS MAY IN FACT BE LIVING TOGETHER. ENOUGH ALREADY! IT'S TIME ONCE AGAIN FOR THE FORCES OF REASON AND SCIENCE TO COME TOGETHER; TIME FOR CRITICAL THINKERS TO CONNECT, LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER, AND SHARPEN THEIR SKILLS; TIME FOR THE LEADING LIGHTS OF SKEPTICISM TO SHARE THEIR WISDOM AND RALLY THE TROOPS. IT'S TIME FOR CSICON 2016 IN LAS VEGAS.
