AMAs policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to AMA, including any related interest and penalties, when it is more likely than not the position taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Penalties and interest related to underpayment of income taxes are not recorded as income taxes but as penalties and interest expense. Management has determined that it does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of December 31,2015. Years ending on or after December 31, 2012, remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities. true South America 1 9 Program services Medical clinics etc 178422 South America Grant making 3005 Central America and the Caribbean 4 47 Program services ClinicChurches etc 553897 Central America and the Caribbean Grant making 143828 Sub-Saharan Africa 2 57 Program services Churchesschslitera 955315 Sub-Saharan Africa Grant making 621444 7 113 7 113 2455911 2455911 Sub-Saharan Africa General operations 445948 Wire transfer Sub-Saharan Africa General operations 322 Cash payment 8148 Real estate and supplies Book Central America and the Caribbean Gereral operations 84577 Wire transfer Central America and the Caribbean General operations 23928 Wire transfer Sub-Saharan Africa General operations 24979 Wire transfer 5 Economic and Other Aid Sub-Saharan Africa 68033 10537 Cash payment 131139 Supplies books Book Economic and Other Aid Central America and the Caribbean 8 2393 Cash payment false false false false false false Use of grant monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) Part I, Procedures for Monitoring:AMA requires financial reports from most grantees and also performs periodic on site visits to observe operations and the use of funds.
