“Form 990 is reviewed by staff and provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Salary levels are determined based on a review of industry comparables and are reviewed by the organization's compensation committee. The compensation committee recommends the salary for the executive director/ceo to the board of directors for approval, and the executive director/ceo recommends other salaries to the board of directors based on independent comparability data.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by forte and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if forte has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by internal revenue service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organization, and has concluded that as of december 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.”
