Governance Explanations

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

“The form 990 is provided to the board of directors for review. It is not signed and filed until it has been approved.”

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

“As per our bylaws: "each director shall notify and disclose to the board any real, potential or perceived conflict of interest of such director with respect to any matter coming before the board for a vote or action thereon. No director having a conflict of interest shall vote on such matter and no such director shall be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at a meeting when such matter is considered and acted upon by the board."”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The louisiana state board has approved a state-wide pay scale which is used to determine compensation. When the approved compensation for a given position is a range, the executive director determines the compensation amount so that it falls within that range. The board of directors approves the compensation of the executive director, also using the state-wide pay scale as the determining basis.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The capital appeals project makes its governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3)of the internal revenue code. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (ubit). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities at june 30, 2017 or 2016.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3)OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THAT GUIDANCE, THE ORGANIZATION MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. EXAMPLES OF TAX POSITIONS INCLUDE THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND VARIOUS POSITIONS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL SOURCES OF UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME (UBIT). THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THERE WERE NO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IDENTIFIED OR RECORDED AS LIABILITIES AT JUNE 30, 2017 OR 2016.

NO DIRECTOR HAVING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SHALL VOTE ON SUCH MATTER AND NO SUCH DIRECTOR SHALL BE COUNTED FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER A QUORUM EXISTS AT A MEETING WHEN SUCH MATTER IS CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON BY THE BOARD."
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE LOUISIANA STATE BOARD HAS APPROVED A STATE-WIDE PAY SCALE WHICH IS USED TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION. WHEN THE APPROVED COMPENSATION FOR A GIVEN POSITION IS A RANGE, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DETERMINES THE COMPENSATION AMOUNT SO THAT IT FALLS WITHIN THAT RANGE. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES THE COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALSO USING THE STATE-WIDE PAY SCALE AS THE DETERMINING BASIS.
