Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

X 2

“Diploma Equity Project follows the FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, Which addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit for 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. the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. the organizations tax status as a tax exempt non-profit entity is a tax position subject to these recognition requirements.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Diploma Equity Project follows the FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, Which addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit for 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. the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. the organizations tax status as a tax exempt non-profit entity is a tax position subject to these recognition requirements.
