Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

Executive committee is responsible for reviewing financial information. Treasurer is involved in the review and approval of the annual audit.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The forum is liable for proxy taxes on the percentage of membership dues that were allocable to political or lobbying activities of the organization. The taxable amount of lobbying and political expenditures for the years ended december 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0. The liability for the proxy tax was $0 for 2016 and 2015. The forum adopted fasb asc 740-10 and accounting standards update (asu) 2009-06. As part of that adoption, the forum considered the possibility of uncertain tax positions and their impact on the financial position of the organization. The most significant tax positions of the organization are its tax-exempt status, the calculation of the proxy tax and the determination of unrelated business taxable income. As of december 31, 2016 and 2015, management did not identify any uncertain tax positions. The forum accrues interest and penalties (if applicable) in income taxes payable on the statement of financial position and records any expense in the provision for income taxes in the statement of activities and changes in net assets. The forum had no interest or penalties for the years ended december 31, 2016 and 2015. Pursuant to internal revenue service rules for the statute of limitations, the forum believes it is no longer subject to u.s. Federal, state, and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2013.
