Form And Line ReferencePart I: Additional InformationFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationNEC is broadly supported in nature and is deemed to meet the 33 1/3% support public support test under current guidance. Since NEC uses the special rule based on meeting the 33 1/3% support test on Schedule B, NEC is required to disclose the Part II. Support Schedule for Organizations Described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(iv) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). However, due to a Form 990 software limitation, NEC is unable to both disclose Part II in Schedule A and check off line 2 of Part I, for schools in Schedule A and to have Schedule E completed. This software limitation only allows the organization to enter Part II of Schedule A if one of the boxes on lines 5, 7, or 8 of Part I is checked off or if the organization failed to qualify under Part III of Schedule A. This software limitation also only allows the organization to enter Schedule E if the organization checks off line 2 of Schedule A, Part I. The public support percentages were 66.25% and 63.32% for 2014 (Schedule A, Part II, Section C, Line 14) and 2013 (Schedule A, Part II, Section C, Line 15), respectively. The complete calculation is available upon request.ExplanationTxt

Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, oThe Conservatory maintains collections of historical instruments, art, vocal scores, recordings, and literary works. These collections are protected and preserved for public exhibition, education, research, and the furtherance of public service. They are neither disposed of for financial gain nor encumbered in any manner. Accordingly, these collections are not capitalized for financial statement purposes.
Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.NEC's historical instruments are exhibited as art objects on campus and at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. NEC's rare books, recordings and letters are part of its library holdings, available for research by NEC students and staff as well as others from the community.
Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.Endowment revenue is used to support program-related activities.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Conservatory recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. Tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2015 were reviewed, and it was determined that no provision for uncertain tax positions was required as of June 30, 2016 or 2015. Management believes that theConservatorys income tax returns for fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 and prior are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities.

ExplanationPart I, Line 2: The awarding of student financial aid grants under the U.S. Department of Education's Student Financial Assistance Program is monitored by NEC's Financial Aid Office, which ensures that NEC meets the compliance requirements of OMB Circular A-133. NEC's Financial Aid Office and Business Office are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs.Only current NEC students in good standing are provided scholarship grants or other financial assistance. Grants and assistance to NEC College students are in the form of institutional scholarships. All College scholarships are administered through NEC's financial aid system. Institutional scholarships are credited to the student's internal tuition account and represent an offset to tuition and other fees assessed by NEC.Preparatory program, continuing education program and summer session scholarships are tracked separately and administered through NEC's student billing system. Preparatory program, continuing education program and summer session scholarships are credited to the student's internal tuition account and represent an offset to tuition and other fees assessed by NEC.Grants and assistance to NEC staff and their eligible spouses and dependents are in the form of staff tuition waivers, pursuant to a written benefits plan. Staff tuition waivers are administered through the Conservatory's benefits system and, like institutional scholarships for students, are credited to the individual's internal account to offset tuition changes.All students receiving scholarships and fellowships are judged worthy by the institution's assessment on the basis of academic achievement, financial need and other similar standards.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review ProcessIn March 2010, NEC's Board of Trustees voted to delegate review and approval of the Form 990 to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee receives a copy of the draft Form 990 without Schedule B prior to the meeting at which they review the Form 990. At the meeting, members of the Finance Committee receive a presentation on the Form 990 from management and provide input on the Form 990. In addition, NEC has tax advisors from a national accounting firm review the Form 990. Lastly, a final copy of the Form 990 without Schedule B is provided to all Trustees prior to electronically filing the return.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of ConflictsThe conflict of interest policy is distributed to officers, trustees and key employees annually. All of these individuals are required to complete the form for the past fiscal year and disclose any conflicts of interest within the form. The policy also indicates that officers, trustees and key employees are required to make conflict of interest disclosures at any time during the year that they become aware of a conflict of interest. These conflicts are reviewed by the Controller as well as the Audit Committee and disclosed within the annual financial report if material and on Form 990 if they meet the stated IRS thresholds.
