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, 2013 were reviewed, and it was determined that no provision for uncertain tax positions was required as of June 30, 2014 or 2013. Management believes that the Conservatorys income tax returns for fiscal years ending June 30, 2011 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. Individuals who have conflicts of interest or are otherwise not independent from NEC due to a business relationship or receiving compensation from NEC recuse themselves from Board of Trustees votes on matters having to do with their transactions or compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key EmployeesThe following also refers to Part VI, Line 15a. Officer and key employee compensation is reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, which hires an independent compensation consultant periodically to compare officer and key employee compensation against industry data for similarly qualified people, in functionally comparable positions at similar organizations. Officers' and key employees' compensation packages are also approved by the Board of Trustees' Compensation Committee, which is comprised of individuals without any conflicts of interest with respect to the compensation, and the deliberations and decisions are documented contemporaneously as part of the committee's meetings. The process occurred in fiscal year 2014 for the NEC President, the Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations, the Vice President for Institutional Advancement, and the Dean of the College.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly AvailableNEC's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).
