ASHA has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. ASHA has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2015, ASHA reported unrelated business income tax, for federal and state purposes, which is immaterial for financial statement purposes and is offset by net operating loss carryforwards available. ASHA follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have a material impact on ASHA's financial statements, as management determined that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements.

Applications are reviewed by ASHA grant issuing departments. Once grantees are selected, grant activities are monitored throughout the life of the grant. Budgets submitted with the grant application, as well as throughout the life of the grant, are reviewed and unclear items are questioned and clarified before final approval or rejection. Grantees typically submit a mid-term report in addition to a year end report reflecting progress made, budget, scope, etc. The final report is due upon grant project completion and includes a summary of all approved changes, and any product(s) developed using grant funds. Sometimes the final report is reviewed before final grant funding is disbursed.

In order to vote for a vacant seat on the Advisory Councils, an individual must be a member of the profession for which they are voting and a member of the state or territory. FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b ASHA's Form 990 is prepared and reviewed, in detail, by its outside accountants, Grant Thornton. A final draft of Form 990 will be reviewed, in detail, by ASHA's finance staff, director of finance, chief staff officer for operations, and chief executive officer before presenting the 990 to the Board of Directors prior to filing. CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY MONITORING & ENFORCEMENT Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C The conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually for members of the Board of Directors and on an on-going basis for all employees. Each Director and Employee is expected to avoid any action or involvement that would compromise the Association. This includes the following: 1)Having a financial interest, or a family member with a financial interest, in an outside concern from which ASHA purchases goods or services. 2)Conducting business on behalf of ASHA with a member of the director's or employee's family or a business organization in which the director or employee or a member of his or her family has a significant interest. In the event a volunteer leader wishes to partake in an activity or association that would create or appear to create a conflict of interest, the volunteer leader must disclose the proposed outside activity or association to the chair of the board or committee. The chair shall decide whether the outside activity or association can be accommodated in such a way that the conflict of interest is avoided without resulting in significant hardship to ASHA. This may include requiring the volunteer leader to recuse himself or herself from making business or policy decisions on behalf of ASHA that are related to or in conflict with the outside activity or association and from recommending or providing input for such decisions. If the chair decides that ASHA is able to make an accommodation that would eliminate a conflict of interest without imposing significant hardship on the organization, and if the volunteer leader is agreeable to it, the volunteer leader may engage in the outside activity or association. In the event that the ASHA president believes he or she has a potential conflict, he or she should disclose the outside activity or association to the immediate past president. PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Annually ASHA contracts with Quatt Associates, outside consultants, to provide an independent and market driven compensation package for the executive director and all staff positions. The following elements are included in the process for determining compensation for these positions: 1)Quatt Associates reviews all of the positions, including the Executive Director's position. The BOD approves and works directly with the consultant regarding the Executive Director's position. 2)Quatt Associates provides market data for the determination of compensation for the Executive Director and all other positions. 3)The President documents the discussion regarding compensation for the Chief Executive Officer's position and forwards instructions to the Chief Staff officer. 4)All other staff position salary ranges are established (based on Quatt's review), subject to the approval of Chief Executive Officer. The organization does not have a review process for compensation for the Board of Directors since the board members do not get compensation from the organization.
