With few exceptions, Group is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2012. In the event of any current or future tax assessments, Group has elected to record the income taxes and any related interest and penalties as income tax expense on Group's consolidated statements of activities." | ExplanationTxt |
