| Identifier | Fin 48 Disclosure | Identifier |
| Explanation | Effective December 31, 2009, Innovations for Povery Action adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48") Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," now incorporated in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can 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. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. Innovations for Poverty Action is exempt from federal income taxation by virtue of being an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Nevertheless, Innovations for Povery Action may be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The tax years ending December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have a material impact on the organization's financial statements, as management determined that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. | Explanation |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B | Line 11: The Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated electronically to the full Board of Trustees for discussion and comment. Each Board Member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Line 12: The organization has a conflict of interest policy in place. All new employees and board members are asked to review and acknowledge their compliance with the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. The organization distributes an annual questionnaire to all employees (including executives) and Board of Trustees Members. The Board of Directors is tasked with reviewing any potential conflicts of interest and determining compliance with the organization's policy. Line 13: The organization did not have a whistleblower policy implemented prior to the year end. The Organization's Board of Directors crafted a new whistleblower policy during the year and it was instituted prior to December 31, 2011. Line 15: The organization undertakes a thorough process for determining the compensation of its executive officers, (and uses the same process for all employees. The organization relies on market analysis to determine compensation across all levels, using similarly sized organizations as a benchmark. The organization hired a nonprofit professional advisory group to perform the specific analysis, as well as to search for the chief financial officer. It should be noted that the President and ceo is also the founder of the organization. The President draws no salary from Innovations for poverty action. | |
| form 990, part vi, section C | Line 19: The organization's audited financial statements, Form 990 and annual summary are posted on the organization's website and are available at the address listed on page 1 of the Form 990. The Form 990 is, likewise, published on www.guidestar.org. The organization's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request and at management's discretion. They are often picked up for other charity evaluation websites such as charity navigator. | |
| form 990, part iii, Line 2 | The Organization commenced three new substantial programs in 2010: 1. The Teacher Community Assistant Initiative (TCAI) in Ghana is scaling and evaluating a proven program from India. TCAI trains community members to assist in elementary classrooms with poor-performing kids. Ghana is the fourth and largest site in which the model has been rolled out with a rigorous evaluation. 2. Second, the Small & Medium Enterprise Initiative (SMEI) brings together researchers, practitioners and policy makers invested in promoting growth for high-potential business owners. IPA strives to put forward the right questions and proactively seek projects that allow us to answer them-SMEI takes exactly that approach. 3. Third, our Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (UGP) launched its seventh and largest evaluation in Ghana, partnered with Presbyterian Agricultural Services. UGP is a collaboration between the Ford Foundation, the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, and USAID to learn how to provide a safety net for the ultra-poor. Form 990, Part III, Line 4(d) In 2010, IPA had over 230 projects completed or underway in more than 40 countries around the world. These projects are designed to ameliorate the conditions of the poor throughout the world.
