“The ceo and full-charge bookkeeper assume responsibility for oversight of the audit while the entire board, including a cpa, review and approve the financial statements.”

Form 990, Part XI, Line 2B

“The bureau is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(6) of the internal revenue code, except on net income derived from unrelated business activites. The income the bureau receives from auto manufacturers for the arbitration of complaints made by members of the general public against the auto manufacturers is subject to tax on unrelated business income.

The bureau believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”
