DescECE provides evaluation of educational credentials for persons who completed part or all of their education outside of the United States. 32,776 requests for reports were received from clients in 2020. ECE prepares evaluation reports that determine the equivalents of foreign academic work. The evaluation reports are used for further education, professional licensure, employment, and in other situations that require an administrative decision based on academic credentials. Our reports ensure that the education of people around the world is understood and put to good use. Reports facilitated the appropriate admission of students into undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs. Our reports helped dentists and pharmacists and other health professionals enter the practice of professions to the benefit of neighbors in their new country. Our evaluations have helped parents obtain jobs so that they can better support their families. Owing to ECE properly assessing the education completed in other countries, our world community benefits from the efforts and energy of those whose education would otherwise have been unrecognized and gone to waste.Desc

The training provides knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions on the academic admission, professional licensure and employment of international students and others who have been educated outside of the United States. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic our outreach had to be quite limited in 2020. Approximately 21 people received training through 3 E-Learning sessions. We were unable to conduct our 2-day Essentials training program in 2020.Desc

ExplanationThe Organization has implemented accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This standard describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognizing, interest, penalties and disclosures required. Management of the Organization evaluates the uncertain tax positions taken, if any, and consults with outside counsel as deemed necessary. The Organization recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities in income tax expense. In management's opinion, the Organization has not taken any uncertain tax positions, and accordingly, has not reported a corresponding liability in the financial statements.ExplanationTxt
