“The process of the committee selecting an independent accountant has not changed from the previous year. The process of the committee assuming responsibility for the audit has not changed from the previous year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with fasb asc 740, income taxes. Under that guidance, management assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available or when an event occurs that requires a change. Management evaluated the foundation's tax positions and concluded that it took no uncertain tax positions that would require adjustments to the financial statements.”
