C.A.S.E. is not a private foundation. C.A.S.E. believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. C.A.S.E. recognizes interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in general and administrative expenses on the statements of activities and change in net assets. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, C.A.S.E. did not have net taxable income from unrelated business activity; therefore, there is no provision in these financial statements for income taxes or interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Tax years prior to 2013 are no longer subject to examination by the IRS or the tax jurisdiction of the state of Maryland.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Each board member and employee must read and sign the conflict of interest policy, indicating that they do not have any conflicts of interest. If C.A.S.E. wishes to secure products or services with members of the board or their affiliations, the organization will also secure other bids for such goods/services with other vendors and award appropriately. If a board member is asked to vote on a measure that could create a conflict, they must recuse themselves from the vote. Currently, the board chair monitors and enforces the policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a Annually, the budget is reviewed and discussed with the finance committee and then approved by the board of directors. The Organization uses comparability data from other not-for-profit organizations to determine compensation and documents its findings. Any increases in compensation for the CEO are approved by the board of directors. The last review took place in January 2016. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 To protect the interests of C.A.S.E. and the people it serves, C.A.S.E. maintains policies on: Conflict of Interest for staff and for board members who sign it annually; Ethical Practices and Codes of Conduct which includes whistleblower protection; Records Retention and Destruction; Donor Privacy; and Client Confidentiality and Privacy Practices. The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
