Explanation: The long-term objective for the funds adopted by Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance is to generate additional cash flow to help support the Alliance's general operations. Part X : FIN48 Footnote Explanation: Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the alliance and recognize a tax liability if the alliance has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the irs or other applicable taxing authorities. management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the alliance and has concluded that as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The alliance is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012. false Beer Under Glass 196945 44600 152345 39378 154674 196945 44600 152345 39378 154674 194052 -41707 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Explanation: The board retains the services of an independent CPA firm to prepare the organization's form 990.
