Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

Smith, Fitzsimmons, and Heuver have a business relationship as board members of another not-for-profit organization.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

Upon completion of Form 990 and attending schedules, and prior to filing such with the IRS, the entire package is either mailed or emailed to each Board member for review and comment. The organization then files the report with the IRS.

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

All employees upon being hired sign a confidentiality and conflicts of interest statement. In addition, all officers, directors, and key employees are required on an annual basis to sign a conflicts of interest statement and disclose any such conflicts.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Each year as part of the organization's budgeting process the Finance Committee (comprised of the Chairperson, 2 additional Board members, and 1 outside independent CPA) reviews the salaries of all employees and, for the CEO and all top management listed on Form 990, Part VII, A, the Board accesses and/or commissions outside independent compensation surveys and/or consultants. The organization also participates in and uses for this review process the PRM Consulting Group's compensation survey for non-profit organizations. Then the budget, along with the Finance Committee's review and recommendations on same, is submitted to the full Board of Directors for final approval.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization's governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, and financial statements are not made available to the public unless required by law or for conducting program services.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

Accounting standards require the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a "more likely than not" standard that based on their technical merit have more than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon IRS examination. Management estimates that there are no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014. TWAU is no longer subject to federal and state tax examinations for the years prior to 2011.
