Governance Explanations

PART VI, SECTION B, line 11

“The 990 is reviewed by the Audit Committee along with Executive Director, Bookkeeper and Treasurer. After review has been completed and any necessary changes made, the 990 is signed by the Executive Director and reported as completed by the Executive Director and Treasurer to the Executive Committee, which in turns reports to the full Board. Copies of the 990 are made available to the Board for review.”

Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Board members, employees, and committee members of The Writer's Center will submit annual reports on a form approved by the board, and if not previously disclosed, will disclose any conflict or potential conflict before any additional board or committee action is taken. These annual reports will be reviewed by the officers of the board, who will attempt to resolve any actual or potential conflict(s) and, in the absence of resolution, refer all such matters to the Board of Directors.”

Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization's governing documents and policies are available for public inspection at the organization's office during regular business hours upon request.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X Line 2

“No provision has been made for income taxes, since the Center has been determined to be exempt from income tax pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). There was no net unrelated business taxable income during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. General accounting principles regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes require changes in recognition and measurement for uncertain tax positions. In accordance with the accounting guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Center has determined that it does not currently have any tax positions that it considers to be uncertain. If this position changes, the Center will assess the impact of any such matters on its financial position and results of operations.”

Part V Line 4

“THE INTENDED USE OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. During the year ended June 30, 2015 the endowment fund exceeded $100,000. As of June 30, 2015, the board of directors was in the process of reviewing the endowment fund limit and extending the date to determine its use.”
