“There are four members of the Board consisting of the Vice Chancellor for Research, TAMUS; the Executive Director, Sponsored Research Services, TAMUS; the Chief Operating Officer, Sponsored Research Services, TAMUS and the President and CEO of the Foundation.”
“Copies of the Form 990 are provided to the Board. The Board reviews the form and discusses it with the CPAs responsible for preparing the return.”
“New trustees, officers, and key personnel must complete and sign the conflict of interest disclosure form. Any change in circumstances that alters the information on a form that was previously submitted must be reported in a timely fashion. At a minimum, each trustee, officer, or key person must submit a new or updated form (with signature) each year. All completed and signed forms are retained by the Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary monitors COI form submissions to verify that all required persons have a current COI form on file. All board and board committee meeting agenda items are reviewed against known conflicts of interest disclosed by board or committee members. Where a conflict of interest has been identified, such member must recuse himself or herself from discussions or voting on the matter, or may be asked to leave the room while the matter is being discussed or voted. All negotiators, buyers, proposal/project administrators are informed of organizations that may be involved in a conflict of interest and must get management approval for any proposed transaction with such organizations.”
“The CEO, as well as all officers, receives zero compensation from the Foundation as he is employed by the Texas A&M University System.”
“The financials and governing documents can be reviewed on the Foundation's website. The conflict of interest policy is available upon request.”
“On September 1, 2009, the Foundation adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, as amended by FASB in September 2009. The Foundation evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax provision or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as components of federal income tax expense. As noted above, the Foundation is a tax-exempt non-profit organization; therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Foundation believes that its tax position regarding its status as a tax-exempt organization will remain significantly unchanged within the next twelve months. While the Foundation is not aware of any tax examinations being conducted, tax years 2012 - 2014 remain subject to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | On September 1, 2009, the Foundation adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, as amended by FASB in September 2009. The Foundation evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax provision or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as components of federal income tax expense. As noted above, the Foundation is a tax-exempt non-profit organization; therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Foundation believes that its tax position regarding its status as a tax-exempt organization will remain significantly unchanged within the next twelve months. While the Foundation is not aware of any tax examinations being conducted, tax years 2012 - 2014 remain subject to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service. |
