The organization received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that it is exempt from federal income tax on related income as an entity described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. The tax years ending 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. Form 990, Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2b and Part XIII, Line 2a Donated Services and Use of Facilities Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establish regulations for reporting donated services. Those regulations require that donated services meeting three criteria should be reflected on the financial statements. The three criteria are as follows: the service requires a specialized skill; work is performed by someone possessing the specialized skill; and the service is something the organization would have had to purchase if it had not been donated. As part of the mission, CCA operates largely with donated services provided by business organizations from the Chicago area. In compliance with GAAP, the value of donated services has been reflected in the accompanying statements of activities as revenue and the related expense. For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, donated services totaled $10,616,715 and $17,585,532, respectively, for consulting and legal services provided by business organizations. These services were recorded at the prevailing market rates.
