ExplanationThe Consortium qualifies as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and generally is not subject to federal taxes on income. The Consortium accounts for uncertainty in income taxes, which requires the recognition of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is "more likely than not" to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Consortium did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of May 31, 2016. The Consortium's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits. As of May 31, 2016, the Consortium did not have any unrecognized tax benefits; therefore, the Consortium did not have any interest or penalties expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended May 31, 2016. The Consortium is not subject to federal income tax examinations for years before 2014.ExplanationTxt

HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE POLICY; C. HAS AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY; AND D. UNDERSTANDS THE CORPORATION IS CHARITABLE AND IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION IT MUST ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN ACTIVITIES WHICH ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. TO ENSURE THE CORPORATION OPERATES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, PERIODIC REVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED. There are procedures included in the "Conflict of Interest Annual Statement" if a potential conflict is identified.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a & 15bPer Article V, Section 3, of the USAC bylaws, the Board, or any authorized committee of the Board, shall review and approve the compensation, including benefits, of the officers of the corporation to ensure that each such officer's compensation is just and reasonable. Such review and approval shall occur when the officer is initially hired, whenever the officer's term of employment is renewed or extended. During the initial hiring process compensation of key employees is screened by the Human Resources manager and goes through several steps of approval. The process includes research on pay rates and comparable salaries. Key employee compensation is reviewed annually during the review process.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19All copies of our governing documents, conflict policy, and financial statements are available upon request. The organization posts its Form 990 on Guidestar.
