Part X, Line 2:FIN 48 footnote from 2014 audit: Management's analysis of uncertain tax positions as required under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, determined that the Chamber had no uncertain tax positions and as such, no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Management does not anticipate any material changes in this position in the next 12 months. The Chamber is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
