Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“The process for committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of financial statements and seleciton of an independent accountant has not changed.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Wits has been advised by the internal revenue service that it is exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income laws. Wits is not considered to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a)of the internal revenue code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require wits to evaluate tax positions taken by wits and recognize a tax liability if wits has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Wits is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.”
