Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990 Review Process

“Form 990, part vi, section b, line 11b a national public accounting firm prepares the form 990 and presents it to the members of the board for review and approval before it is filed with the irs.”

Conflict of Interest Policy

“Form 990, part vi, section b, line 12 each director/trustee of the organization is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of employment, board service, or position with the organization. The organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual review and, when necessary, the use of outside advisors. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately.”

How Documents Are Made Available to the Public

“Form 990, part vi, section c, line 19 documents are made available upon written request.”

Financial Statement Notes

Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions (asc 740)

“The organization is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code. However, exempt organizations may be subject to income tax on any unrelated business income. The fasb has issued guidance that requires the tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined that there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements, and there is no interest or penalties recognized in the statements of activities or statements of financial position.”
