Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and is reviewed by the Director of Finance and CFO for accuracy. The return is then provided to the board of directors for their review prior to being filed with the IRS.”

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

“The organization requires the board of directors and officers to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The board as a whole is responsible for oversight of the policy, and monitoring for any potential conflicts. Should a conflict of interest present itself, all interested parties would excuse themselves from the decision making process.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The compensation committee of the board of directors determines appropriate compensation for the organization's Executive Director, top executives, and other key employees. In determining compensation packages, comparability data provided by the HR manager is referenced. The compensation committee reviews the comparability data and proposes a compensation package to the board as a whole for revision and approval. Compensation decisions are documented in the board minutes and are reviewed on an annual basis for appropriateness.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. The organization/s financial statements and IRS determination letter are also available on the organization's website.”

Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Column (F) - Estimated Other Compensation

“The majority of the amounts listed in column F represent an increase in the actuarial value of the organization's defined benefit pension plan. This change is associated with a drop in the index rate and represents a change in the value of the plan, not a dispersal of additional compensation. Exact amounts associated with the increase for each individual are as follows: Susan C. Rowan $17,712 Richard S. Mazur $36,840 Robert A. Birkeneder $17,794”

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, line 9:

“Pension-related changes other than net periodic pension costs -160,141.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“Income from the endowment is not restricted to a particular purpose. The income is intended to be used where needed.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The consolidated financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of August 31, 2016, BSF had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. BSF files informational tax returns in the United States and various states. BSF is generally no longer subject to United States federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.”
