“The board as a whole is responsible for overseeing the financial statement review and selecting the cpa who will perform the review.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The association adopted the "uncertain tax positions" provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america. The primary tax position of the association is its filing status as a tax exempt entity. The association determined that it is more likely than not that their tax positions will be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service (irs), or other state taxing authorities, and that all tax benefits are likely to be realized upon settlement with taxing authorities. The association files its income tax return in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. The association is no longer subject to u.s. Federal tax examinations by federal taxing authorities for years before 2014.”
