Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2

“Michael Simms, President, is married to Eva-Maria Simms, Secretary.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“Hard copy of current year form 990 was circulated among board members for review and corrections as necessary.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“Conflicts are discussed and reviewed at the semi-annual board meetings.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The Executive Director's and Editor in Chief's performance and compensation are reviewed by a Board-appointed committee on an annual basis and approved by the full board of directors.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990 Part XII - line 1 - ACCOUNTING METHOD

“The organization reports its income using a modified cash basis of accounting. Revenues and Expenses are generally reported on the cash basis of accounting. However, Inventories of books are maintained, and wages are reported at gross, and tax liabilities accrued as necessary. Also unearned foundation grant receipts are only reflected as income when grant requirements are completed. Because the Press requires prepayment of orders, customers can have credit balances when books are returned. This liability is also recorded.”

Form 990 Part XI - line 2C - FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

“President, Secretary, & Treasurer are responsible for reviewing financial reports and selecting compilation accountant.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Hard copy of current year form 990 was circulated among board members for review and corrections as necessary.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Conflicts are discussed and reviewed at the semi-annual board meetings.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The Executive Director's and Editor in Chief's performance and compensation are reviewed by a Board-appointed committee on an annual basis and approved by the full board of directors. Autumn House Press relies heavily on the efforts of volunteers. As Autumn House grows, it hopes to pay modest salaries to retain key individuals. Compensation amounts are lower than for nonprofit organizations of comparable scale.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4On request, governing documents are available for inspection during regular busines hours.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The organization reports its income using a modified cash basis of accounting. Revenues and Expenses are generally reported on the cash basis of accounting. However, Inventories of books are maintained, and wages are reported at gross, and tax liabilities accrued as necessary. Also unearned foundation grant receipts are only reflected as income when grant requirements are completed. Because the Press requires prepayment of orders, customers can have credit balances when books are returned. This liability is also recorded.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6President, Secretary, & Treasurer are responsible for reviewing financial reports and selecting compilation accountant.
