INCOME TAXES FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X Dominican College follows guidance that 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 guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements 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. The College is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the code. The College has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The college has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The College deems the Sisterhood to be a related party of the College, but since the Sisters do not meet the IRS definition of a related party, the College has opted to not complete a Schedule R. In the interests of full disclosure, the College is including this Schedule O narrative to disclose the relationship. Form 990, Part IV, Section A Governing Body and Management The College is reporting 33 Board members, of which 31 are independent voting members of the Board. The two "compensated" board members are Members of the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt who have taken a bona fide vow of poverty. All amounts reported in Part VII and Schedule J of the 990 were paid directly to the Order. While the Sisters could be considered independent under the IRS guidelines; nevertheless, in the interest of full disclosure, the College is reporting them both as non-independent. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B Policies Line 11 - Process used to review form 990 The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees reviews the final draft of the Form 990. The Audit Committee makes recommendations on changes as necessary. The Committee votes to approve the Form 990 and arranges to have the approved Form 990 sent to each Board member for review and comments. The Audit Committee resolves inquiries from Board members after their review. Once the process is complete, the College submits the form 990 to the IRS. LINE 12 - enforcement and monitoring of conflict of interest policy The college requires all officers, trustees and key employees to complete an annual questionaire that requires the individuals to disclose any transactions that may potentially result in a conflict of interest. These are reviewed by the Board Chairman and the President of the College. The VP for Financial Affairs collects the key employee disclosure forms and reviews them with the President of the College. To the extent that a conflict of interest is discovered, the transaction is vetted immediately and the appropriate action undertaken. LINE 15 - Process for determining compensation The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees serves as the compensation committee which reviews and approves all key employee annual compensation without any conflict of interest with respect to that compensation. The Committee used comparable compensation data for similarly qualified people in functionally comparable positions at similar organizations. This is an annual process where contemporaneous documentation of the deliberation and decision regarding the compensation arrangement is recorded. the Committee utilizes data from CUPA-HR as comparative data for analysis. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C Disclosure LINE 19 - Availability of documents to the public The taxpayer makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The organization's financial statements, governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion.
