Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 ASC 740 FOOTNOTE FROM FINRA CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS U.S. GAAP PROVIDES A TWO-STEP APPROACH FOR EVALUATING TAX POSITIONS. RECOGNITION (STEP 1) OCCURS WHEN AN ENTITY CONCLUDES THAT A TAX POSITION, BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. IN STEP 2 (MEASUREMENT), THE TAX BENEFIT IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT, DETERMINED ON A CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY BASIS, THAT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. DURING THE YEARS FROM 2009 TO 2012, WHICH REPRESENT THE YEARS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERS TO BE OPEN FOR EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, MANAGEMENT DID NOT IDENTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. ACCORDINGLY, ALL TAX POSITIONS ARE RECOGNIZED AND MEASURED AT THEIR FULL BENEFIT IN THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS AND STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.
SCHEDULE D, PART XII, LINE 2D   AMOUNTS INCLUDED ON LINE 1 BUT NOT ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 RELATE TO REFUNDS OF PRIOR YEAR'S UNUSED GRANTS.

THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS, THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTED INNOVATIVE RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE UNDERSERVED AMERICANS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND TOOLS NECESSARY FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS THROUGHOUT LIFE. THE FOUNDATION AWARDED GRANTS TO ENTITIES DESIGNATED AS TAX-EXEMPT ACCORDING TO INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) AND STATE AND OTHER PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.

THE 2012 STUDY COMPRISES TWO PRIMARY SURVEYS-A STATE-BY-STATE SURVEY AND A MILITARY SURVEY-AND INCLUDES A SAMPLE FROM THE RAND AMERICAN LIFE PANEL. THIS ADDITIONAL SAMPLE WILL ALLOW RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS AND COMBINE STUDY DATA WITH OTHER SOURCES OF DATA.

CLASSES OF MEMBERS AND THE NATURE OF THEIR RIGHTS FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 6, 7A and 7B LINE 6 - THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY, INC. (FINRA) IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF THE FOUNDATION. LINE 7A - FINRA, AS SOLE MEMBER, ELECTS ALL MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY. LINE 7B - THE BYLAWS OF THE CORPORATION MAY BE ADOPTED, AMENDED OR REPEALED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DIRECTORS IN OFFICE; PROVIDED, THAT ANY AMENDMENT TO THE SECTIONS OF THE BYLAWS GOVERNING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS, THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, VACANCIES OR REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF THE MEMBER, FINRA. THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION MAY BE AMENDED OR REPEALED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ONLY WITH THE AFFIRMATIVE APPROVAL OF THE MEMBER, FINRA.
FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11 THE FORM 990 WAS REVIEWED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT AT VARIOUS STEPS THROUGHOUT THE PREPARATION CYCLE. THE FOUNDATION BOARD REVIEWED THE FINAL VERSION ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2013. FORM 990, PART VI EMPLOYMENT RULES AND POLICIES THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY EMPLOYEES. ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY EMPLOYEES OF FINRA OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES. THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT PAY FOR THEIR SERVICES. AS SUCH, THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE SUBJECT TO THE EMPLOYMENT RULES AND POLICIES OF FINRA.
WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT GOVERNS THE PROFESSIONAL AND ETHICAL CONDUCT OF BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY REQUIRES BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS TO MAKE INITIAL DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS AS WELL AS ANNUAL DISCLOSURE BY THE SAME BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE WRITTEN POLICY CONTAINS AN ONGOING OBLIGATION OF BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND STAFF TO DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AS THEY ARISE. THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS AND STAFF ARE EMPLOYEES OF FINRA OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND, AS SUCH, ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO CERTIFY ANNUALLY AS TO THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE WRITTEN POLICY CONTAINS AN ONGOING OBLIGATION FOR EMPLOYEES TO INFORM FINRA OF ALL BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS IN WHICH THEY HAVE AN INTEREST AND TO ARRANGE FOR FINRA TO RECEIVE DUPLICATE ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. FINRA REVIEWS TRANSACTIONS IN EMPLOYEES' BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH FINRA'S INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THESE RESTRICTIONS PROHIBIT EMPLOYEES FROM HAVING AN INTEREST IN A BROKER-DEALER OR ENTITY THAT DERIVES 10% OR MORE OF ITS REVENUE, NET OF INTEREST EXPENSE, FROM BROKER-DEALER SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES. A LIST OF PROHIBITED COMPANIES IS POSTED ON FINRA'S CORPORATE INTRANET. FINRA'S DEPARTMENT HEADS HAVE ACCESS TO SEVERAL ONLINE REPORTS THAT HELP THEM AVOID ASSIGNING AN EMPLOYEE TO WORK ON A PROJECT THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT. FOR INSTANCE, A MANAGER CAN DETERMINE WHETHER AN EMPLOYEE'S STOCK HOLDINGS WOULD CONFLICT WITH A PROPOSED FINRA ASSIGNMENT (E.G., ASSIGNING AN EMPLOYEE TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH A VENDOR IN WHICH THE EMPLOYEE HAS A SIGNIFICANT STOCK POSITION). EMPLOYEES ARE REGULARLY REMINDED OF THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO. IN ADDITION TO TALKING TO DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEES CAN DISCUSS CONFLICTS-RELATED CONCERNS WITH FINRA'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL OR ETHICS MANAGER. IF THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DISCLOSING AN ISSUE AND DISCLOSING THEIR IDENTITY, THEY CAN USE FINRA'S 24-HOUR ETHICSPOINT HOTLINE TO POSE QUESTIONS OR REPORT CONCERNS. COMMUNICATIONS MADE THROUGH ETHICSPOINT ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND, IF THE EMPLOYEE WISHES, ANONYMOUS. FINRA'S WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY FORBIDS RETALIATION AGAINST EMPLOYEES WHO REPORT SUSPECTED MISCONDUCT IN GOOD FAITH, EVEN IF THE REPORT ULTIMATELY PROVES TO BE ERRONEOUS.
PROCESS TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION OF TOP OFFICIALS, OFFICERS & KEY EMP. FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 15A AND 15B THE MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF FINRA (THE "COMMITTEE") IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING PAY FOR EXECUTIVES OF FINRA AND SUBSIDIARIES WHOSE TOTAL COMPENSATION, INCLUDING INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, MAY EXCEED $1 MILLION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF FOUR NON-EMPLOYEE, NON-SECURITIES INDUSTRY MEMBERS OF THE FINRA BOARD OF GOVERNORS. THE COMMITTEE MET ON JANUARY 18, 2012 AND FEBRUARY 15, 2012 TO ESTABLISH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2011 AND TO ESTABLISH BASE SALARIES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2012. AS A GENERAL POLICY, FINRA HAS DETERMINED ITS COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION POSITIONING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AGAINST A BROAD SECTION OF FINANCIAL SERVICES/CAPITAL MARKET COMPANIES, AS THIS SECTOR IS THE MOST LIKELY FROM WHICH WE RECRUIT TALENT AND TALENT IS RECRUITED FROM US. WE ALSO BENCHMARK AGAINST GENERAL INDUSTRY POSITIONS AND LAW DEPARTMENTS FOR JOBS THAT ARE NOT UNIQUE TO THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED MERCER, INC. ("MERCER"), A THIRD-PARTY COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, TO PREPARE A COMPENSATION STUDY FOR REVIEW AT THESE MEETINGS. IN DETERMINING A BENCHMARKING STRATEGY FOR KEY EXECUTIVES, FINANCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS (BROKER-DEALERS, INVESTMENT BANKS, FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, EXCHANGES AND REGULATORS) WERE DETERMINED TO BE THE MOST RELEVANT GROUPS FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. THE COMMITTEE AND MERCER ENGAGED IN SUBSTANTIAL RESEARCH AND CONSIDERATION OF THE FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS OF SEVERAL POTENTIAL COMPARATORS AS WELL AS GENERAL COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS. IN DETERMINING SPECIFIC SALARY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION LEVELS FOR OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, MANAGEMENT AND THE COMMITTEE CONSIDER: 1) OPERATONAL RESULTS 2) STRATEGIC INITIATIVES 3) FINANCIAL HEALTH/RESULTS 4) INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE 5) COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION LEVELS AS PREPARED BY MERCER THE COMMITTEE'S MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 18, 2012 AND FEBRUARY 15, 2012 MEETINGS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED AS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE FOLLOWING THE COMMITTEE'S APPROVAL OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGES. THE FULL BOARD FURTHER APPROVED THE 2011 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO AT ITS MEETING ON FEBRUARY 16, 2012. ALL COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEMBERS VOTED FOR THE PROPOSED LEVEL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
