ExplanationTERC adopted the FASB accounting standard regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Management believes that TERC has no material uncertainties in income taxes. The Organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. Federal, State, or local tax authorities for years before 2007.Explanation

F990_P06_S0A_L06Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6Out of the 11 trustees of the board three are "members" who are individuals.
F990_P06_S0A_L07aForm 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7aPursuant to the Bylaws of the organization, the members have the right to elect the Board of Trustees, but if the members fail to do so, the Board of Trustees may do so. However, at the request of the members the members and the Board of Trustees jointly elect the members of the Board of Trustees.
F990_P06_S0B_L11aForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11aReview Process: The Director of Finance completes the majority of the form with input from the Director of HR and COO. The COO reviews the completed form. Once approved by the COO, the Board Finance Committee (BFC) is sent a copy of the form and a telephone conference call is scheduled. The Director of Finance and COO present the 990 to the committee, discussing each section and answering any questions the committee may have. The BFC approves the submission of the 990 to the IRS. Once that approval is obtained, a copy of the 990 is sent to the full TERC Board for their information with a note conveying the review process for the 990 and that the form will next be sent to the IRS.
F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cAnnually the Conflict of Interest Statement Policy adopted by the Board of Trustees is distributed to each trustee, with a request to submit annually to the Clerk of the corporation a list of all corporate Boards on which the trustee serves and other companies/entities with which the trustee has a business/personal relationship. The Clerk forwards a copy of each trustee submittal to the President, who thereafter distributes a copy of each submittal to the COO and the Director of Finance. Each of the President, COO and Director of Finance, upon becoming aware of a potential conflict of interest, would advise the trustee of same. The Policy directs a trustee to report a potential conflict to the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, who would then refer the matter to the Governance Committee of the Board. The Governance Committee would consider and resolve the matter by a majority vote of the Committee. The Minutes of the Governance Committee considering any such matter would be reported to the full Board at its next meeting and filed by the Clerk with the corporate records.
F990_P06_S0B_L15Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15* Compensation review for President: The process for determining compensation for the President is conducted by an independent group consisting of three members of the Board of Trustees. Care is taken to ensure that there is no conflict of interest with respect to Board members selected to conduct the review. Recommendations for compensation are presented to and approved in Executive Session of the Board at its February meeting. Increases approved are retroactive to the first pay period in February. As part of its review the Board subcommittee requests of the Director of Human Resources (DHR) compensation data on similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The comparability is based on a comparison of the job duties of the President with a similarly situated position at another organization similar to TERC in size, nonprofit status, and overall mission. The DHR obtains this data from (1) 990s filed with Guidestar and (2) a commissioned study from professional compensations consultants. The last commissioned study occurred in 2010. The result of the review of the compensation for the President is recorded by the chair of the subcommittee and forwarded to the DHR for placement in the personnel file of the President. A letter from the Chair of the Board of Trustees serves as instruction to process the salary increase. * Compensation review for Chief Operating Officer: The compensation for The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is determined by the President, to whom the COO reports. As with all positions at TERC, the appropriate range for the position is determined through a compensation study conducted by an independent consultant, using survey data from comparable organizations and matched with the job responsibilities and level of experience required to fulfill the COO position. The last compensation survey was conducted in 2010. The salary of the COO is reviewed by the President annually as part of the salary review process. Any recommendation for a raise based on new duties assumed or extraordinary growth in the position is documented by the President and presented to the Salary Committee for review. The COO, who is a member of the Salary Committee, recuses herself from deliberations on her salary. Documentation on the final salary is maintained in the office of the Director of Human Resources.
