The Organization is registered as required with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations. In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities Taxes (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes). FASB ASC 740 prescribes guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon adoption of this standard which has been adopted by the Organization as of January 1, 2009, as required. The adoption of this standard did not require any adjustments to the Organization's financial statements. There were no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next year. Tax years from 2014 through 2016 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions. false true true false true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Pt VI, Line 11b THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD BEFORE IT IS SIGNED AND FILED. Pt VI, Line 12c ALEPH POLICY ON CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: BEFORE ANY MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AN AGENDA WILL BE CIRCULATED TO EACH DIRECTOR AND STAFF MEMBER, WITH AGENDA ITEMS DESCRIBED IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO ALLOW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO IDENTIFY POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST CAN INCLUDE: ECONOMIC CONFLICTS, IN WHICH A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER OR SOMEONE WITH WHOM A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER HAS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY STAND TO GAIN FINANCIALLY FROM A DECISION OF THE BOARD, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE POTENTIAL GAIN; EMOTIONAL CONFLICTS, WHICH MIGHT PRESENT DIVIDED LOYALTIES FOR A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER OR SOMEONE WITH WHOM A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER HAS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WHEN THE INTERESTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION OTHER THAN ALEPH MAY CONFLICT WITH ALEPH'S OWN INTERESTS OR PLANS; AND WHEN IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT A DISINTERESTED PARTY COULD PERCEIVE THE APPEARACE OF A DUAL INTEREST FOR ANY DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER OR SOMEONE WITH WHOM A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER HAS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY (FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER IS COMPENSATED FOR SERVICES OR PROPERTY TO ALEPH, EVEN IF THEY ARE OFFERED AT OR BELOW MARKET VALUE). A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WILL DECLARE IT TO THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD PRIOR TO THE INTRODUCTION OF THE AGENDA ITEM IN QUESTION. THE DISCLOSURE WILL EXPLAIN: THE FACT THAT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY EXIST IN THE CASE OF AN ECONOMIC CONFLICT, THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE INTEREST AND THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL DIRECT OR INDIRECT BENEFIT TO THE DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER OR SOMEONE WITH WHOM A DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBER HAS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. THE PARTICIPANTS OF ANY SUCH DISCLOSURE ARE NOTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING. THE STAFF MEMBER OR DIRECTOR WHO HAS DISCLOSED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST REGARDING AN AGENDA ITEM WILL REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN DISCUSSIONS AND VOTING ON THE ITEM, AND WILL LEAVE THE MEETING WHEN THE BOARD REACHES THAT AGENDA ITEM. THE DIRECTOR'S DEPARTURE FROM THE MEETING ROOM OR TELECONFERENCE WILL BE NOTED IN THE MINUTES. AFTER DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD OF THAT AGENDA ITEM, THE DIRECTOR WILL RETURN, AND THE RETURN SHALL BE NOTED IN THE MINUTES.
