Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19	The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 1:	The Organization's financial statements were prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. Under that basis, certain revenues and the related assets are recognized when paid rather than when earned, and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. The financial statements deviate from the cash basis of accounting in that investments are recorded at fair value, property and equipment are recorded and depreciated over their useful lives and deferred revenue is recorded for sponsorships received in advance of the year in which they are due.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:	The Organization engages an independent CPA firm to audit its financial statements on an annual basis.
