ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technicalmerits. Income tax positions must be a more likely-than-not recognitionthreshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Foundation adopted ASC 740 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The adoption of ASC 740 had no impact on the Foundations financial position or results of operations. The only tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are those within the statutory limits. true East Asia & the Pacific 0 1 program services Various relief 61958 South America 1 2 program services Various relief 32620 Europe 1 3 program services Various relief 205301 Central America & the Car 2 3 program services Various relief 231364 Middle East & North Afric 1 4 program services Various relief 198500 South Asia 3 10 program services Various relief 451627 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 4 program services Various relief 410152 9 27 9 27 1591522 1591522 Sub-Saharan Afr Assistance 410152 Wire/Ship.
