Part V, Line 4:Endowment consists of one fund. The fund is used to aid the distribution of Sir Robert Anderson's books for encouragement and edification of Christians. The prior year balances have been corrected to reflect the cash being spent but the donor not yet releasing their restriction. Because of this, the endowment fund does still exist.
Part X, Line 2:The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the statements of activities. As of May 31, 2017 and 2016, Good News had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Good News files information tax returns in the U.S. and various states. Good News is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Lane T. Dennis, M. Ebeth Dennis, Josh Dennis, Jon Dennis, and Mike Parker - Family Relationship
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bGood News Publishers' Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail and approved by the President. The Board of Directors and Audit Committee members are provided with a copy of Form 990 to review prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cGood News has a conflict of interest policy in place which requires each officer and Board Member to sign a conflict of interest form each year . The signed statements are reviewed by the Senior Vice President of Finance. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Good News utilizes industry comparable data from multiple sources to recommend salary and bonus figures for management. This information is then compiled, and recommendations for all officers, as well as a general percentage increase for all other employees, are submitted to the compensation committee. The compensation committee reviews, discusses, has the ability to change recommendations, and then approves the submission, which in turn is brought to the full board by way of recommendation of the compensation committee. The full board then takes the recommendation, has further discussion if necessary, and then approves the recommendation from the compensation committee. Compensation committee members (and any family members on the board) who are also compensated officers are excused from the part of the meeting that would cover any discussion over compensation or bonuses. The decisions regarding compensation are then documented in the minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are all available upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2cThe organization's Board assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of its independent accountant. This process has not changed since the prior year.
