International Development and Exchange - World Learning International Development Programs focus on a single purpose: to bridge the gap between the desire for human development and the ability to achieve that goal. Programs in more than 20 countries work to enhance the capacity of individuals, communities and institutions to take ownership of their own development, secure just and effective policies and structures, and create sustainable positive change. The aim of each WL project is to build the knowledge, attitude, skills, awareness, and practical applications necessary to address critical global issues such as poverty and exclusion, the spread of HIV/AIDS, the marginalization of women and children, the global education crisis, and the urgent need for government accountability. WL achieves this goal through five primary program focus areas: (1) Civil Society and Governance, (2) Education, (3) HIV/AIDS, (4) International Professional, Academic, and Cultural Exchanges, and (5) Capacity Development and Training. World Learning Visitor Exchange Program and Capacity Building Services divisions have been engaged for more than twenty years, on behalf of the US Department of State and USAID, in providing experiential exchange programs that enable learning and promote understanding for over 2,000 visitors to the U.S. each year from more than 140 countries. World Learning bridges cultures and promotes understanding and cooperation among nations through the design and delivery of exchanges and observational study tours to the US for adults and students from countries around the world. Many of World Learning's professional exchanges are implemented in partnership with member organizations of the National Council for International Visitors.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SchD_P05_S00_L04 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 World Learning's ENDOWMENT FUND (the "Fund") is a long-term financial resource for World Learning and the execution of its mission. On an annual basis the Fund provides important financial resources to WL, primarily in the forms of (1) scholarship funding for participants of academic and educational exchange studies, and (2) support for programs, new initiatives and field projects.
SchD_P10_S00_L02 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 World Learning follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (formerly FIN 48). ASC 740 sets forth a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, along with guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. WL recognizes the financial statement benefit or liability of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit or liability that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. It is WL's policy to record estimated interest and penalties, if any, as part of general support expense. Management believes that its US-based income tax filings for fiscal years June 30, 2008 and prior are no longer subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. Management has concluded that it has no material unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2012 and 2011.

(4) Additional tuition/program fee assistance to participants of WL's enrollment-based offerings is provided. Along with such "general need" assistance, allowances are offered for tuition (staff family tuition waivers) and housing (Resident Assistants for on-campus Graduate Program). Unlike awarded scholarships, tuition "discounting" is not funded by restricted and endowed gifts to WL. Tuition assistance is available as part of World Learning's Benefit Plan to eligible employees who wish to take courses or obtain an SIT degree or certificate. Tuition assistance is also available for family members of WL employees who enroll/participate in any enrollment-based programs. There were five such award transactions in Fiscal 2012/Academic Year 2011-12; none of which were made to any individuals related to current or former officers, directors, trustees, key or highly-compensated employees of WL. 834 2,759,841 0 n/a n/a

F990_P04_S00_L12a Form 990, Part IV, Line 12a As World Learning and its subsidiaries meet the GAAP requirements for consolidation, WL received consolidated audited financial statements for the fiscal year for which it is completing this 990 tax filing. An independent auditing firm conducted the audit of the financial statements. The audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP.
F990_P06_S0A_L04 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 A general revision/update was done to the by-laws on October 14, 2011. Primary change was to Section 2.5 - Student Trustees. Changes were 1) to "definition" to include program participants, as well as 2) changing inclusion from 'mandatory' to 'discretionary'. Minor changes to by-laws were to wording on term limits and composition of committees.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The complete IRS FORM 990 filing is prepared by management of World Learning and reviewed in detail (and signed) by contracted tax advisors from a national accounting firm. A "public" copy ("public" meaning exclusion of contributor detail from Schedule B) of the filing is then reviewed by World Learning's Audit Committee. Prior to electronic filing to the IRS, this "public" copy is made available to all members of World Learning's Board of Trustees.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c World Learning's Office of General Counsel circulates the "POLICY ABOUT FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS AND DISCLOSURES" forms to each Trustee annually, and also to Executive Committee members. The General Counsel reviews all responses with an eye towards any disclosures that could present an issue under the "POLICY." If an issue arises, General Counsel refers the matter to the Board Chairperson, who follows up on the matter in accordance with the "POLICY."
F990_P06_S0B_L15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Pursuant to the "POLICY ABOUT FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS AND DISCLOSURES," World Learning's Audit Committee, an independent committee that does not have any conflicts of interest with respect to compensation paid to the organization's executives, meets in "EXECUTIVE SESSION" to review and approve the reasonableness of compensation for the President and CEO, along with all Officers and Senior Managers (VP level) of World Learning. Committee members who may have conflicts of interest or are otherwise not independent from WL due to a business relationship recuse themselves from this Committee vote. Surveys to which WL subscribes in order to assess the reasonableness of all executive compensation are provided, and include third-party benchmarking information in the form of compensation market conditions. This compensation review/approval process, an ACTION ITEM of the Audit Committee, is performed and documented annually.
F990_P06_S0C_L19 Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governance documents, such as organizational 'by-laws' and conflict-of-interest policy, are made available upon request to the Corporate Secretary of World Learning. Fiscal documentation, in the form of the organization's annual audited financial statements and 990 corporate tax filing, can be accessed on the organization's web site and are also made available upon request to the Finance Department of World Learning.
F990_P08_S00_L10c Form 990, Part VIII, Line 10c World Learning conducted unrelated business activity in FY12 for the following activities (event catering/facilities rental and a health clinic unit on campus. Expenses exceeded revenues in FY12 due to related costs from the termination of the health clinic unit in August, 2011. All relevant UBI information has been filed as part of World Learning's 2011 (FY12) 990T filing.

Name:
WORLD LEARNING INC
EIN: 03-0179592
Software ID:11000129
Software Version:v1.00
Explanation:
World Learning applied for and received approval from the IRS for an initial 3-month extension to file this return by February 15. Limited internal resources had delayed gathering of organization-wide data and eventual compilation of required schedules, contracted review by tax firm, and final review by Board of Trustees in time for a February 15th electronic filing. A second extension was requested (and approved) by the IRS to May 15, 2013.
