This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entitys financial statements. It also prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in financial statements. There was no cumulative effect on the Organizations financial statements related to the adoption of these provisions, and no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued.
