No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as the NBCRNA has had no significant unrelated business income. The NBCRNA follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The NBCRNA recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The NBCRNA has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of August 31, 2016 and 2015. Due to its tax-exempt status, the NBCRNA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax or state income tax. The NBCRNA is no longer subject to examination by U.S. federal or state taxing authorities for years before August 31, 2013. The NBCRNA does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. true American Board of Nursing Specialities 610 Thornhill Lane Aurora OH 44202 521943466 501(c)3 10000 0 Sponsorship to help cover costs of meetings for the nursing profession Institute for Credentialing Excellence 2025 N Street NW Suite 800 Washington DC 20036 521111515 501(c)3 10000 0 0 Support research projects advancing credentialing Diversity in Nurse Anesthesia Mentorship Program 39 W Wolfert Station Road Mickleton NJ 08056 262992301 501(c)3 25000 0 Support programs encouraging diversity in the nurse anesthesia profession Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences 4301 Jones Bridge Road Bethesda MD 20814 N/A 13269 0 Sponsor military CRNA educators to attend meeting 4 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds.

This new program includes two four year cycles in every eight year recertification period. In each of the four year cycles, CRNAs will complete a minimum number of continuing education requirements, complete modules in each of the four core areas of anesthesia (voluntary the first four years) and continue to work in the profession. Each eight year period will include an examination. The goal of the program is to encourage life long learning and help protect the safety of the public. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process of compensation for other officers and key employees NBCRNA performs benchmarking of salaries for all officers and key employees using comparability data approximately every three years. The Executive Committee reviews salaries annually. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process for determining CEO compensation The salary for the CEO is determined and approved by the Board of Directors following a performance review in May. The decision is contemporaneously documented in the board minutes of the meeting. The process was last undertaken in 2015. The CEO signs a yearly employment agreement detailing the compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The full Form 990 (as ultimately filed with the IRS) is sent electronically to the Finance Committee and then to the full board for review and approval prior to filing the return with the IRS. The paid tax preparer also presents a summary review of the significant changes to Form 990 at a Finance Committee meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy Each board member signs a conflict of interest disclosure in the fall of each year, noting any potential conflicts that may exist. At each board meeting, the directors are asked to disclose any conflicts they might have. The reported conflicts of interest are monitored by the CEO and applicable staff throughout the year. If a potential conflict exists, the organization seeks legal clarification and the individual will abstain from voting on any issues that relate to the conflict disclosed. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public Financial statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policies are not required disclosures pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6104. These documents are not available to the public at this time.
