Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part XII, Line 2C

“The School Board assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant annually. This process has not changed.”

Authorizer

“The Academy is required to have an Authorizer to monitor its opeartions in order to maintain its charter. The Academy's approved authorizer during the fiscal year 2017 was Novation Education Opportunities.”

Related Organization Compensation

“Explanation: Made an effort to obtain information on compensation, if any, was paid from a related organization. No response received and no other transactions noted.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Academy is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). The Academy is subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. On July 1, 2009, the Academy adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Academy has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdiction where they operate. The Academy believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on their respective financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. Accordingly, the Academy has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Academy is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). The Academy is subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. On July 1, 2009, the Academy adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Academy has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdiction where they operate. The Academy believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on their respective financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. Accordingly, the Academy has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017.
