Therefore, no provision is made for taxes on income. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. In accordance with GAAP, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Management has evaluated tax positions taken by the Alliance on their filed tax return and concluded that the Alliance has maintained its tax-exempt status, does not have any significant unrelated business income, and has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 was prepared by an independent outside accountant with the staff accountant. It will be reviewed by key staff and officers after filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Global Aquaculture Alliance implemented a conflict of interest policy in 2016. All officers and directors were required to sign the policy when it was implemented. The organization reviews the policy annually to determine any necessary updates. Beginning in early 2018, all officers, directors, and other key personnel were required to review and sign an updated statement on an annual basis and document any potential coflicts of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Board reviews and approves compensation for the organization's officers annually, and documents the discussion in writing. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The Organization engaged an independent, professional public accounting firm to perform a review of the Organization's books and records.

The review was subject to the oversight of the Organizatin's chief finance and accounting personnel, as well as the Board and any finance and audit committees thereof. Form 990, Explanation of Amended Return: The Organization engaged an independent, professional public accounting firm to perform a review of the Organization's books and records. The Organization's reviewed financial statements for the period ending December 2022 were finalized, signed, and published in March 2024, after the Organization had already filed its original 2022 Form 990. The Organization is therefore filing an amended 2022 Form 990 to adjust its previously filed tax return to be in coordination and agreement with these published financial statements. Aside from a restatement of the Organization's financial statements, the Organization believes all other transactions and disclosures are complete and in compliance with IRS Regulations.
