Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“Form 990 and form 990-t are provided to the president/ceo of the organization who thoroughly reviews both before they are filed with the internal revenue service.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The bbb executive committee handles the annual ceo performance evaluation based on goals established each year as part of the ceo evaluation. Each february, the committee determines the amount of any ceo bonus earned for prior year performance based on success in meeting the prior year goals. The committee also establishes ceo compensation for the current year, retroactive to january 1, and reports to the board on the ceo performance review and compensation at the next board meeting. In establishing ceo compensation and annual bonus opportunity, the committee reviews the annual bbb ceo salary survey compiled each year by the council of better business bureaus from copies of 990 returns that all bbbs are required to submit to the council of better business bureaus; considers ceo salaries paid by other associations and non-profits in the louisville area (greater louisville, inc., metro united way, center for non-profit excellence, etc.); and, considers the general range of cost-of-living raises that businesses and organizations in the louisville area are generally providing in employee compensation. The board chairman prepares a written statement of the bonus and compensation agreed to by the executive committee and this written statement is signed by the board chair and ceo, with a copy being provided to the bbb's accountant.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Additional Explanations

PART XI, LINE 2C:

“This process has not changed from prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Management evaluates its potential exposures from tax positions taken that have or could be challenged by taxing authorities. These potential exposures result because taxing authorities may take positions that differ from those taken by management in the interpretation and application of statutes, regulations and rules. The better business bureau and the better business bureau consumer education fund, inc.'s accounting policies provide that a tax expense/benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. The better business bureau and the better business bureau consumer education fund, inc. Have no uncertain tax postions resulting in an accrual of tax expense or benefit.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0MANAGEMENT EVALUATES ITS POTENTIAL EXPOSURES FROM TAX POSITIONS TAKEN THAT HAVE OR COULD BE CHALLENGED BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. THESE POTENTIAL EXPOSURES RESULT BECAUSE TAXING AUTHORITIES MAY TAKE POSITIONS THAT DIFFER FROM THOSE TAKEN BY MANAGEMENT IN THE INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF STATUTES, REGULATIONS AND RULES. THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU CONSUMER EDUCATION FUND, INC.'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES PROVIDE THAT A TAX EXPENSE/BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION MAY BE RECOGNIZED WHEN IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION, INCLUDING RESOLUTIONS OF ANY RELATED APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS. THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU CONSUMER EDUCATION FUND, INC. HAVE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSTIONS RESULTING IN AN ACCRUAL OF TAX EXPENSE OR BENEFIT.
