As of the current year end, the Society had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. The Societys policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through the fiscal year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties.Generally, only the three preceding tax years are subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities. true Camp Scholarships 23 19475 Cash NA Other 10 10649 Cash NA X X false false false false false false false false false Lisa Alexander Executive Director 155324 21978 177302 X 7 750612 Fair Value X Shop Supplies 3 6350 Fair Value false true false Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 Audubon Naturalist Society members support ANS vision of creating a larger, more diverse community of people who treasure the natural world and work to preserve it.
