| Part X : FIN48 Footnote | ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Corporation to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Corporation. The Corporation has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and have measured the Corporation's exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the Corporation has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. Federal and state tax authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed. Any interest or penalties assessed to the Corporation are recorded in operating expenses. No interest or penalties from federal or state tax authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements. |

| Explanation | The Corporation hired the spouse of the Development Director to serve as the Finance Director of EFF. This action increased the inherent risk of fraud due to the proximity of the working relationship between the married individuals and their access to the Corporations assets. Controls were implemented to reduce the direct working relationship between the married individuals. These include: 1) requiring either the Executive Director, Legal Director or General Counsel to sign off on all withdrawals from any EFF financial accounts, 2) implementing procedures that require others to review all transactions initiated by either of the married individuals, and 3) creating a separate weekly review process for each individual with the Executive Director to help identify any potential conflicts. This hiring was made with the knowledge of the Board of Directors. | ExplanationTxt |
