The Organization has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and as a result has identified its exemption from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) and its treatment of CDCO as a disregarded tax entity as tax positions which fall within the scope of this standard. The Organization does not believe these tax positions will result in any change to its financial position. These information returns are subject to examination by tax jurisdictions (generally for three years from the filing date), and as a result, returns for the years subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2017 remain subject to examination.
