        <ExplanationTxt>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 June 30, 2016, CBS had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. CBS is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.</ExplanationTxt>

Grants are made to these partner organizations to assist with startup costs and sometimes translation costs. Grants also are made to partner organizations assisting us in establishing these national ministries. The partner organizations are required to request funding, which must be approved by the Regional Director, and to report back to the Regional Director on how the funds were used by completing an acknowledgement of funds received document.</ExplanationTxt>
