Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“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. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. For the year ended December 31, 2020 management has determined that there were no material uncertain tax positions.”
