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 U.S. 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.

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. Since early 2018, all officers, directors, and other key personnel have been 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 VII, Section A, Column D: The 2023 compensation reported for William Herzig and Allen Kimball was paid for their services as contracted service providers to Global Seafood Alliance. Neither Mr. Herzig nor Mr. Kimball were compensated for serving as a Global Seafood Alliance Board member. Form 990, Part IX, line 11g Consultants 374,125. Contractors 1,864,646.
