The Organization follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Management believes that the Organization has no material uncertainties in income taxes. With few exceptions, the Organization is no longer subject to tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state, or local tax authorities for years prior to 2020.
