IdentifierFIN 48 STATEMENTIdentifier
ExplanationAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Program management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Program and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Program has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Program administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Program and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Program is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Program administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.Explanation

PART VI, SECTION B, 12CBCBSA maintains a comprehensive Code of Conduct and Compliance Program applicable to all employees and officers including those who either serve on the Committee (that governs and acts for the organization) or act on behalf of that Committee. In addition, all employees, officers, and directors (including those who serve on the Committee or act on its behalf) are required to complete an annual conflict of interest form.

The results of the Compliance Program's effectiveness are reported to the Audit Committee of The BCBSA Board of Directors on an annual basis. Failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Moreover, Committee MEMBERS receive fiduciary training from the BCBSA Chief Employee Benefits Counsel regarding their fiduciary duties, including the ERISA fiduciary conflict of interest rules. BCBSA's Chief Employee Benefits Counsel also provides the Committee with an annual assessment of the organization's and the Committee's legal compliance, including compliance with ERISA. As employees of various Blue Plans, each Committee member not employed by BCBSA is subject to additional conflict of interest restriction under policies adopted by his or her Employer Plan.
