Prior to this change, the ABP was recognized by the Internal Revenue Code as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(6). ABP recognizes the tax benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The ABP has analyzed its tax positions taken for filings with the Internal Revenue Service. The ABP believes that its income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the ABP's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the ABP has not recorded any tax assets or liabilities, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions for the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016.

This information is reported on Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J under Other Taxable Income. Schedule J, Part I, Line 4 Certain members of senior management receive as part of their compensation, a taxable, supplemental non qualified retirement plan. Benefits provided in the current tax year were as follows: Gail A McGuiness, Executive Vice President $13,200 and David G Nichols, President $31,165, Virigina Moyer, VP MOC and Quality $401. During fiscal year 2017, the ABP paid severance of $49,983 to Ann F. Smith, Senior Controller. Form 990, Part I, Line 1 The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) exists to advocate for and improve the health of children as they grow from infants to young adults by setting standards for pediatric practice and supporting the efforts of physicians to understand and embrace advances in medical care. The ABP does this by ongoing design and execution of an initial certification examination to licensed pediatricians who have completed a pediatric residency and/or fellowship, and design of further activities and examinations to allow pediatricians to maintain their certification. Form 990, Part III, Line 1 The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) certifies general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists based on standards of excellence that lead to high quality health care for infants, children, and adolescents. ABP certification provides assurance to the public that a general pediatrician or pediatric subspecialist has successfully completed accredited training and fulfills the continuous evaluation requirements that encompass the six core competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. The ABP's quest for excellence is evident in its rigorous evaluation process and in new initiatives undertaken that not only continually improve the standards of its certification but also advance the science, education, study and practice of pediatrics. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Initial certification in general pediatrics; board certification is a voluntary process that goes above and beyond state licensing requirements for practicing medicine. It is an ongoing commitment by a physician to continually update their knowledge in a medical specialty, like pediatrics. Since it began certifying pediatricians in 1934 through December 31, 2016, the ABP has certified 118,292 pediatricians. Of the 4,401 physicians who took the general pediatrics certification exam in October 2017, 3,499 passed, which results in a 79.5 percent pass rate. To become certified, a physician must complete an accredited residency training program in pediatrics. The director of that training program must verify that the physician is competent in all areas of practice, and then the physician is allowed to take the initial certifying exam. In addition, before a physician is allowed to take the initial certifying examination he/she must also hold a valid, unrestricted license to practice medicine. Once they have passed the initial examination, they are deemed certified in pediatrics by the ABP. (See 4c below for how certification is maintained.) Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Initial Certification in pediatric subspecialties: After residency, some pediatricians also go on to complete further accredited training in pediatric subspecialty fellowship programs. In addition to developing clinical expertise in their chosen subspecialty, these subspecialists participate in a minimum of twelve months of medical research. The fellowship training director must verify that the physician is competent in all areas of practice within the subspecialty and has met the requirements for professionalism including maintaining a valid unrestricted medical license before the diplomate is allowed to take the initial certifying examination. Once they have passed the initial examination, they are certified as a subspecialist by the ABP. The ABP offers certification in these 15 subspecialties: Adolescent Medicine; Cardiology; Child Abuse Pediatrics; Critical Care Medicine, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics; Emergency Medicine; Endocrinology; Gastroenterology; Hematology-Oncology; Infectious Diseases; Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine; Nephrology; Pulmonology; Rheumatology; and Hospital Medicine. Certificates are awarded in conjunction with other specialty boards in the areas of: Hospice and Palliative Medicine; Medical Toxicology; Pediatric Transplant Hepatology; Sleep Medicine; and Sports Medicine. The number of physicians taking the exams varies, depending on the subspecialty. Pass rates for those taking the exam for the first time ranged from 75% to 95% in 2017. 1,470 applied for subspecialty examinations in fiscal year 2017 with 1204 passing the exam and becoming certified in a subspecialty. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c Maintenance of Certification: After their initial certification, pediatricians are enrolled in the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program which consists of four parts: 1) Professionalism 2) Life Long Learning and Assessment, 3) Assessment of Knowledge, Judgment and Skills 4) Practice-Based Learning and Improvement. Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatrics must hold an unrestricted medical license to maintain certification. Although the ABP does not require diplomates to meet these requirements through activities offered by the ABP, the ABP offers activities it has developed, reviews and approves the activities of other organizations that meet its standards, and works collaboratively with other organizations to ensure there is a wide range of relevant, high quality activities are available for diplomates to utilize to engage in lifelong learning and assessment and continuous quality improvement. In fiscal year 2017, the ABP added 18 new lifelong learning and self-assessment modules, and over 2000 external activities were approved for MOC credit. MOC requires that pediatricians take regular examinations to assess their knowledge and medical judgement. Quality Improvement (QI) activities for MOC are designed to encourage pediatricians to assess the quality of their care and adopt more efficient and effective ways to care for children. In fiscal year 2017, 7 new online performance improvement modules (PIMS) were approved. 290 QI projects from large teams (more than 10 physicians) were approved or renewed for MOC credit, and 1139 QI projects for small teams (10 or fewer physicians) were approved for MOC credit. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 The ABP Board of Directors approved the following changes to the organization's bylaws: Article II, Section II - Directors Selection (paragraph pertaining to selection of the Subboard Director). The term "Executive Vice President" is changed to "President's designee" to allow the president to assign the Vice President position that staffs the subboards the responsibility of identifying subboard chair nominees for consideration by the Nominating Committee in the selection of the Subboard Director. Article II, Section III - Removal, Disqualification, and Vacancies. Language was added to clarify the removal or disqualification of a Director from the Board of Directors. Article X, Section III - Reserve Fund - The reserve fund sufficient to cover anticipated expenditures is changed from 24 months to 18 months. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Controller prepares the Form 990 and the CFO performs a detailed review of the completed return. The return is then reviewed by outside tax counsel for compliance. After this review and prior to filing, a complete copy of the Form 990 is sent to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is asked to review the form and to forward any comments, questions or concerns to the CFO so that they can be addressed prior to filing the return. The CFO reviews the return with the Finance Committee during the Board meeting. The Board is also given an opportunity to ask questions or provide feedback during the full board meeting. Both the Finance Committee and Board of Directors are e-mailed a final filing copy prior to submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The American Board of Pediatrics has a Conflict of Interest Policy covering its directors, committee appointees, officers and key employees who must review the policy annually and disclose and potential conflict of interest via a signed form. The ABP Conflict of Interest Committee reviews and monitors all conflict of interest issues. Conflicts of appointees and employees attending meetings are disclosed in the meeting agenda materials and those with conflicts do not participate in the voting on any issue where they may have a conflict of interest. The ABP also maintains a conflict of interest policy covering employees, who are required to disclose any actual or perceived conflicts of interest on an annual basis via a signed statement. These statements are reviewed by the VP for Human Resources and the President. Employees are removed from any decision-making issues where a conflict may exist. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 In 1988, the ABP began engaging an independent compensation and benefit consulting firm to assist in determining annual compensation for all ABP staff, including the President. The compensation strategy designed for the ABP emphasizes pay for performance and is based upon the systematic slotting of each ABP staff position on a graded scale. Pay for each grade is then determined by comparing each of the positions to a comparable position in the appropriate marketplace i.e. local, regional or national depending upon the job's responsibilities and its hierarchy within the organization. A range is created around each job grade and performance dictates how quickly staff advance through each grade.The full board of directors reviews the President's performance and provides written feedback to the consultant. The consultant makes a formal presentation to the Executive Committee each year, during which the compensation strategy, benchmarks, and salary recommendations are discussed. Following that presentation, the consultant meets with the executive committee in a closed session, without the presence of staff to discuss the results of the President's performance review, the salary benchmarks for the ABP President and the physician Vice Presidents along with his recommendations for salary adjustments for these positions. The committee determines whether to approve the proposed changes. These decisions are recorded int he minutes of the meeting, which are then forwarded to the CFO for implementation.
