Under that guidance, NAJAS may recognize the tax benefit from 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. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of NAJAS and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business income tax (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions identified or recorded as liabilities at December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.NAJASs policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. true East Asia and the Pacific Program services HS Exchange 339006 339006 339006 East Asia and the Pacific High School Diplomat Program 339006 Cash 1 false false false false false false Use of grant monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) The Association grants an amount to an organization outside the United States based on a budget request to support the overseas program.
