NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSMARCH 31, 2012 and 2011
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization - Aid for Africa is a non-profit organization, incorporated in Maryland in2003. Previously the organization was known as Aid to Africa Federation, Inc. however its namewas changed in January 2007. Aid for Africa acts as a consortium of non-profit organizations thatprovide assistance to people who live in Africa. This assistance to Africa is encompassed in theorganization's programs which include providing informal education programs to members of thepublic about the problems of Africa, providing a forum for the members to collaborate and exchangeinformation and the soliciting of funds in support of its members' programs.
b. Basis of accounting - The accompanying financial statements are presented on theaccrual basis of accounting. Aid for Africa reports its financial position and activities according to thethree classes of net assets for unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted, basedon the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions. There are no permanently restricted netassets.
c. Revenue recognition - Contributions are recognized as revenue when received unless thedonor designates the gift for a specific period. Monies collected for the benefit of members and non-members are reflected on the accompanying financial statements as temporarily restricted revenue.
d. Cash and cash equivalents - Aid for Africa considers instruments with maturities of threemonths or less to be cash equivalents.
e. Income tax status - Aid for Africa is a non-profit organization which is exempt from federalincome taxes under the provisions of Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Aid for Africa follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board AccountingStandards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes which clarifies the accounting forthe recognition and measurement of the benefits of individual tax positions in the financial statements,including those of non-profit organizations. Tax positions must meet a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not in order for the benefit of those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements.
Aid for Africa analyzes tax positions taken, including those related to the requirements set forth inIRS Sec. 501 (c) to qualify as a tax exempt organization, activities performed by volunteers and boardmembers, the reporting of unrelated business income, and its status as a tax-exempt organization underMaryland statute. Aid for Africa does not know of any tax benefits arising from uncertain tax positions andthere was no effect on the organization's financial position or changes in net assets as a result of analyzingits tax positions. Tax years ending on or after March 31, 2010 remain subject to examination by federal andstate authorities.
f. Management estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ fromthose estimates.
