Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the Organization's top management, including the Corporate Treasurer. The 990 is also provided to the Board of Directors for their review prior to being filed with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

The organization requires all board members to annually complete and sign a conflict of interest statement. The Board Chairman and Secretary are responsible for reviewing the signed statements and ensuring that interested persons are in compliance with the conflict of interest policy. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship. The organization has taken steps to require the same process for all officers moving forward.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

The CEO's salary and pay increases are set by the Board of Trustees after their annual evaluation of his performance. The salaries of all other top management officials are determined by the CEO and approved by the Board of Trustees. Comparison data used in the salary approval process includes survey data from independent sources; review of Form 990 information for similar organizations involved in Bible teaching radio broadcasting; and regional differences in cost of living. The process and decisions are documented in the minutes.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

Generate income for operational purposes

Part X, Line 2:

The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of June 30, 2016, BTTB had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. BTTB is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.
