Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c - Explanation of Committee Overseeing Audit:The audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for oversight of the audit of the organization's financial statements, and selection of the independent accounting firm used. This process has not changed from the prior year.
990, Part XI, line 9 - Explanation:Foreign operations conducted under separate legal entities have been excluded from the current year Form 990. Historically these entities have been include in the BSF International LLC 990, allowing the return to tie directly to the audited financial statements, prepared according to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (GAAP). While GAAP calls for the inclusion of these entities, It is proper to exclude them from a tax perspective. The net asset adjustment appearing on 990, Part XI, Line 9 is a result of this change. It is important to note the activities carried out by BSF International LLC as a whole have not contracted. The difference between the current year and prior year figures represent a change in the tax preparation methodology only.
