        <ExplanationTxt>The financial 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 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 September 30, 2016, the Forum had no uncertain tax positions that quality for recognition or separate disclosure in the financial statements. The Forum is generally not longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.</ExplanationTxt>
