Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, Line 2C

“The executive committee of the board of directors assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance in asc topic 740. The organization follows the statutory requirements for its income tax accounting and generally avoids risks associated with potentially problematic tax positions that may be challenged upon examination. Management believes any liability resulting from taxing authorities imposing additional income taxes from activities deemed to be unrelated to the organization's non-taxable status would not have a material effect on the organization's financial statements. With few exceptions, the organization is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.”
