No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as the NBCRNA has had no significant unrelated business income. The NBCRNA follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The NBCRNA recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The NBCRNA has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of August 31, 2015 and 2014. Due to its tax-exempt status, the NBCRNA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax or state income tax. The NBCRNA is no longer subject to examination by U.S. federal or state taxing authorities for years before August 31, 2012. The NBCRNA does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. true American Association of Nurse Anesthetists 222 S Prospect Avenue Park RIdge IL 60068 362113743 501(C)6 150500 Sponsor various annual meeting events Council on Accreditation 222 S Prospect Avenue Park Ridge IL 60068 271433694 501(C)3 5152 Sponsor reception American Board of Nursing Specialities 610 Thornhill Lane Aurora OH 44202 521943466 501(c)3 15000 Support marketing campaign Institute for Credentialing Excellence 2025 N Street NW Suite 800 Washington DC 20036 521111515 501(c)3 10000 Research Air Force Element Medical-Dept of Defense 1050 West Perimeter Rd A5-8 Joint Base Andrews MD 20762 501(c)(3) 14841 Provide assistance for attendance to Assembly of School Faculty for Nurse Anesthetists Diversity in Nurse Anesthesia Mentorship Program 39 W Wolfert Station Road Mickleton NJ 08056 262992301 501(c)3 10000 Meeting Sponsorship United States Treasury 6493 Provide assistance for attendance to Assembly of School Faculty for Nurse Anesthetists by military personnel.
