| Form 990, Part XI, line 9: | Change in accounting principle -1,115,129. |
| FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2c | The Academy's Board assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant annually. This process has not changed from the prior year. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1B | Two members of the Board are teachers at the Academy. Minnesota State Statute 124D.10 subd. 4(g) requires the Board to have at least one employed or contracted teacher. |
| Authorizer | The Academy is required to have an Authorizer to monitor its operations in order to maintain its charter. The Academy's approved Authorizer during the fiscal year 2015 was Innovative Quality Schools. |
| RELATED ORGANIZATION COMPENSATION | Made an effort to obtain information on compensation, if any, was paid from a related organization. No response received and no transactions noted. |
| Change in accounting principle | During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Academy implemented GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions-an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. GASB Statement No. 68 included major changes in how employers account for pension benefit expenses and liabilities. In financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting (entity-wide and proprietary funds), an employer is required to recognize a liability for its share of the net pension liability provided through the pension plan. An employer is required to recognize pension expense and report deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for its share related to pensions. This standard required retroactive implementation, which resulted in the restatement of net position as of June 30 2014. The net position of governmental activities in the entity-wide financial statements as of June 30, 2014 was decreased by $1,115,129. This change reflects the Academy's proportionate share of the net pension liabilities ($1,190,534 decrease in net position) and related deferred outflows of resources ($75,405 increase in net position) for the PERA and TRA pension plans, which are now reported by employers under current guidance. Certain amounts necessary to fully restate fiscal year 2014 financial information are not determinable; therefore, prior year comparative amounts have not been restated. |
