Part XPart X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Conservatory adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740," formerly Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) in fiscal 2009. ASC 740 clarifies the criteria that must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken, and requires an entity to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of liabilities or other adjustments created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2010 (fiscal 2007 through 2010) were reviewed, and it was determined that no provision for uncertain tax positions was required as of the date of adoption of ASC 740 (concurrent with the bond issuance in September 2008) nor as of June 30, 2010 or 2009.

Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are UsedNEC monitored the grant by having staff present for the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company performances for which the grant was provided.
Additional Supplemental InformationPart 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.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19Form 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.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15bForm 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 annually 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 2007 for the NEC President,in 2009 for the Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations and the Vice President for Institutional Advancement, and in 2010 for the Dean of the College.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12cForm 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 11Form 990, Part VI, Line 11: 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 prior to their meeting in mid-April. At the meeting, members of the Finance Committee receive a presentation on the Form 990 from management andprovide input on the Form 990. Lastly, a final copy of the Form 990 is provided to all Trustees prior to the filing date. In addition, NEC has tax advisors from a national accounting firm review the Form 990.
