“The processes for the governing board overseeing the annual audit and selecting an independent accountant has not changed from previous years.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management of champions for literacy to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. Champions for literacy has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organization and has concluded that as of july 31, 2023, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. Champions for literacy believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.”
