Cac requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more-likely-than-not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Cac does not believe its financial statements include, or reflect, any uncertain tax positions. Cac's form 990, return of organization exempt from income tax, remain open for examination by the federal taxing authorities generally for three years after they are filed.
