The Associates
Through the advice and assistance of the International Advisory Forum, Beta Alpha Psi instituted the Associates
Program in 1981. The Associates Program enables Beta Alpha Psi to further its objectives by providing financial
support for events such as regional meetings and other ongoing chapter activities.
Each member of the Associates Program provides financial support at a level consistent with the organization’s
involvement in business education and employment of accounting, finance and information-systems graduates.
Members of the Beta Alpha Psi Associates are given equal recognition for each event or project supported by
the Associates’ funds.

Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) is about the students and their role in creating the future of the information
profession. The BAP leadership believes that choosing one of the information professions is more than
choosing a job description or career. As information professionals, we make commitments to those we
serve that go beyond serving our solely personal career goals.
The competence required of a professional, when

to live by that ethical commitment, and the independence
of mind to stand against the easy answers when the
tough answer is the right answer, creates a bond of trust
between those in the information professions and those
they serve. Without this bond of individual and corporate
trust, we cannot serve the public interest and would not
deserve to be considered members of an honorable
profession.
Through its programs and activities BAP not only seeks
to enhance our members’ competencies and skills, but
also seeks to instill in them an ethic that will help them

Business Information Professional of the Year
Beta Alpha Psi recognizes
individuals who make significant
contributions to the business
-information professions. From
1974 through 1999, this was
achieved by recognizing them
as Accountants of the Year.
Beginning with the 2000 awards,
these individuals have been
honored and recognized as a
Business Information Professional
of the Year. Each chapter, the
board of directors and the
International Advisory Forum are
invited to nominate candidates
from the fields of education,
industry or government,
and professional services.
Nominees are individuals
who have affected a large
number of lives; contributed
both locally and nationally
to the profession; added to
knowledge as demonstrated
through publications, lectures
or presentations; and are active
in the profession at the time of
nomination. For 2010, Beta Alpha
Psi is proud to announce the
selection of the following people
for the Business Information
Professional of the Year awards.
Lawrence Alleva currently is the Southeast U.S. Regional
Managing Partner for Technology and Communications
in the national office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP after
having progressed through the firm from staff auditor, to
Managing Partner of the Syracuse office, to Managing Partner
of the Upstate New York region. When he was promoted to
this position, he immersed himself in learning, participated
in professional associations, and worked hard to develop
expertise. He became an expert in IPOs and venture capital
and has written several PwC articles on the topics. Since then,
he also has “raised his hand” to become the firm’s U.S. Leader
– Ethics and Compliance (Assurance). Alleva defined the new
Lawrence Alleva
leadership role by developing firm procedures, policies and
Professional Service
requirements. He now leads PwC’s response to the PCAOB
Inspection Report and the firm’s international audit quality, while devoting significant attention to a variety
of professional and business ethics matters.
At Ithaca College, Alleva demonstrates an exemplary commitment. He is Vice Chair of the Ithaca College
Board of Trustees, Chairman of the largest-ever (and successful) comprehensive capital campaign on it’s
campus, and Co-Chair of the School of Business Building Campaign Committee that resulted in generating
private donations to fund the new School of Business building (the first building on campus built with
private contributions and the first business school facility in the world receiving the LEED Platinum
Award for meeting the highest level of sustainability). Early in his career at PwC, Alleva established the
PricewaterhouseCoopers Scholarship at Ithaca College. Through his ongoing annual solicitations of current
Ithaca College alumni at PwC, the scholarship has become one of their largest endowed scholarship for
accounting majors.
Over the past 30 years, whenever asked, Alleva has returned to campus to speak. He has been an invited
speaker at numerous Ithaca College Accounting Association programs, and was its first Outstanding
Accounting Alumni award recipient in 1993 (he was also the founding president of the Association when
he was a student). He was the Distinguished Alumni Speaker for the School of Business on ethics in
accounting and business, and then on the state of IPOs, corporate governance, and the profession after
Enron. He was the keynote speaker at one of the first School of Business Honors Banquets, providing a
great Top 10 list of attributes for success. In April 2009, Alleva was the speaker at the annual Beta Alpha
Psi Induction Banquet.
At the same time, Mr. Alleva balances his intense professional life with other personal interests. For
example, he demonstrates a long-standing commitment to other community and higher educational
organizations, such as the National Council of Boy Scouts and George Mason University boards, and he
and his wife recently climbed Mount Everest.
Alleva was nominated by the Mu Alpha Chapter at Ithaca College. •

Business Information Professional of the Year
Ted Vacek has spent the last 10 years at Intel (high-tech industry) managing various
assignments including Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) Integrations, Fixed Asset
Accounting, and Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) design and implementation. He currently is part
of a team working on the design and implementation of IFRS at Intel.
Ted was instrumental in implementing the extensive accounting changes (IASB/FASB)
convergence projects, proposed SEC conversion to IFRS, and the global implementation
of IFRS. His current challenge is trying to design an appropriate plan of today’s actions
given the levels of uncertainty and extensive interrelationships between the proposed
rule changes. Part of the reward of this assignment is getting to be on the “front end” of
some of the biggest changes ever made to U.S. accounting rules.
Ted Vacek
Industry & Government
Prior to Intel, Ted was with Atlantic Richfield Company (oil and gas industry) for 15 years.
His assignments included Exploration Accounting, Planning and Evaluation, Internal
Audit, International Accounting, Marketing and Business Development.
Ted has been involved with the Beta chapter at the University of Oregon for the past three years. At meetings he has showed an
enthusiasm and depth of acounting knowledge that made everyone in the room learn and enjoy each of the discussions. It’s rare for
someone from industry to give a presentation that is both rich in diversity, yet simple to understand. While Ted graduated from the
University of Texas at Austin, he seems to be a Duck at heart.
Ted resides in the Northwest with his wife and three children.
Vacek was nominated by the Beta Chapter at the University of Oregon. •

Regional Meeting
Objectives for Regional Meetings
Regional meetings focus on 1)
promoting inter-chapter activities;
2) encouraging student interest in
emerging business issues; 3) providing
students the opportunity to develop
communication skills, both written
and oral; 4) providing members with
the opportunity to exchange ideas
concerning chapter operations and
activities in both formal and informal
settings; 5) providing the opportunity
for general-leadership training for
officers and members; and 6) fostering
innovative and unique activities to
promote and share best practices.
The year’s regional meetings were
attended by more than 1,540 students
representing 228 chapters. The
funded more than $171,000 for eight
regional meetings. Each of the regional
meetings was supported by members
of the International Advisory Forum
and attended by at least two board
members and the respective
Chapter Advocate.

*Members of the Board extend the appreciation to each student, faculty advisor and professional who
contributed to the success of these programs. A special thanks to the Faculty Advisors and students
who hosted the regional meetings.

2010 Annual Report
Deloitte has been the proud sponsor
of the Best Practices program at both
the regional and national meetings
since 2001. Its sponsorship is intended
to encourage students to develop
and execute programs that promote
awareness and student involvement in
projects that exemplify values shared
by Beta Alpha Psi and Deloitte. These
values are captured and promoted
through the topics selected each
year by the President-elect and the
Deloitte Forum Member. These topics
involve such areas as ethics, corporate
responsibility, diversity, increasing
awareness of the accounting profession,
skills-based volunteerism and
globalization.
All chapters are encouraged to share
their Best Practices through a two-step
competitive process. Initially chapters
will submit an abstract and, if found
eligible, make a presentation at their
respective Regional Meeting; winning
chapters (first, second and third place)
will: 1) receive verbal recognition and
monetary awards and, 2) first-place
chapters will earn the right to give their
presentations at BAP’s annual meeting.
Winning chapters at the annual
meeting will be awarded a plaque,
verbal recognition and additional
monetary awards.
For 2010, to the left is the list of
chapters that won first place at the
2010 Regional Meetings and will be
eligible to participate at the 2010 Annual
Meeting in San Jose, CA.

Selection of individuals to be
designated as scholars occurred
as part of the evaluation process
for each event. Those selected
as Scholars have participated
with a high level of scholarly
quality. Each chapter is
encouraged to select individuals
to participate in these activities
and, in an appropriate forum,
recognize those students who
have been designated Beta
Alpha Psi International Scholars.

Oceania Meeting
The first Oceania Meeting, held April 8–10 in Sydney, Australia, was a success!
The University of Sydney was the meeting host. It was attended by students and faculty from the University
of Sydney, the University of Auckland and Massey University. Both Australia and New Zealand were well
represented.
We started the meeting with introductions, then took a bus ride to a Community Service Day at Foodbank
Sydney. We sorted many pallets of different types of both food and non-food items into stacks for shelters and
soup kitchens. We worked diligently and efficiently, surprising the warehouse managers who had to struggle
to keep our hardworking group busy. After returning to downtown Sydney, the Dean of the Business School at
the University of Sydney treated us to a wonderful Thai dinner.
On Friday we began our work. We started with an operations meeting to determine the name of the region,
locations and frequency of regional meetings, and policies, budget, and other financial issues. After the
operations meeting, we attended technical breakout sessions on the following accounting and finance topics:
• Accounting for Sustainability - Geoff Frost (University of Sydney)
• Use of Gaming Principles while Learning Accounting - Paul Blayney (University of Sydney)
• E-Learning in Accounting - Julie Harrison (University of Auckland)
• Riding the Dragon in the Year of the Tiger - Tyrone Carlin (University of Sydney)
• Risk Management Under Basle III - James Conover (University of North Texas)
Following the breakout sessions, members from
each of the three chapters made presentations in
chapter operations sessions and gave everyone
an opportunity to discuss their experiences. Each
chapter presented what they are doing and issues
and problems they are facing. The chapters helped
each other solve common issues. The final set of
sessions were concurrent breakout sessions for
Chapter Faculty Advisors and Board Members and
for students. The student session focused on work
and internships.
Saturday morning began with a negotiation
competition. Each team performed valiantly with
the winning team receiving a favorite Australian
candy, Maltesers. Pearl Rosenberg followed with
the keynote address, “Giving Something Back.”
Oceania Regional Meeting
We closed the meeting with a group photo of
participants.
This wonderful meeting could not have been more fun or more valuable. Thanks to Pearl Rozenberg, Director
of Global Activities and University of Sydney faculty member, for a wonderful meeting!

One of the most vital elements
in the success of a Beta Alpha Psi
chapter is the Faculty Advisor.
Through countless hours of
commitment, individual Faculty
Advisors make substantial
contributions to the professional
growth and development of
business financial information
students. Beta Alpha Psi, through
its cooperation with McGladrey,
is privileged to recognize
outstanding Faculty Advisors who
have demonstrated those rare
qualities that place them at the
top of all the dedicated Faculty
Advisors. This year, the board
of directors again has selected
based on a nomination form
completed by the individual
Faculty Advisors. The nomination
assigns points for (1) years of
service, (2) various chapter
activities and (3) chapter awards.
Other supporting documentation
can be included as well.
Together, the years of service,
activities, awards and other
relevant documentation
demonstrate the Faculty Advisor’s
concern for scholastic and
professional development of
students as well as the overall
success of the chapter.
For 2009-2010, five professors
have been named Outstanding
Faculty Advisors. They join 204
of their colleagues recognized by
Beta Alpha Psi since the award
was started in 1969 in memory of
Richard E. Claire by the Andersen
Foundation and has been funded
by McGladrey since 2007.
Honorees receive a plaque and a
cash award of $5,000 in tangible
recognition of their service to
Beta Alpha Psi.

In memory...
Michael E. Brown, a CPA and longtime lecturer in accounting in the College of Business
Administration at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, died suddenly Nov. 30, 2009. He was 57
years old. He earned a master’s degree in taxation from Walsh College in Troy, Mich., and was
an agent for the Internal Revenue service for 27 years. Mike also taught accounting at UMSL for
nearly 30 years. He was appointed a full-time lecturer in 2001. He served as faculty advisor for the
Gamma Psi chapter of Beta Alpha Psi. Under his leadership, those student organizations won the
Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Award in 2008.
“Mike Brown was a very important part of the accounting programs at UMSL,” said Mary Beth
Mohrman, associate professor and accounting area coordinator. “He was a valued colleague,
who always was willing to do whatever the department needed. He was a popular teacher, with
Professor Michael Brown
University of Missouri – St. Louis
a relaxed style and an endearing sense of humor. In his work with our student organizations, he
became an important mentor and friend to many students and alumni. He will be deeply missed.”
Michele Dantin Guidry, 49, a native of Cut Off, La., and resident of Thibodaux, La., died Friday,
Dec. 11, 2009. Michele was the faculty advisor for the Iota Sigma Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi at
Nicholls State University.
Michele Guidry began teaching accounting courses in 1989, leaving behind the day-to-day tasks of
preparing tax returns and generating financial statements. However, in 2003, Guidry decided to put
into practice again what she had been teaching for 14 years.
Michele completed a professional internship with Charles Theriot, CPA, where she served small
business-accounting clients. This opportunity allowed her to sharpen her skills, update her knowledge
of some of the main areas in accounting and see once again the workings of a CPA firm, Guidry says.
Professor Michele Guidry
Before becoming an instructor of accounting, Michele, a Certified Public Accountant, worked at
Nicholls State University as the payroll and grants coordinator in the Controller Office. Being a part of
university life and interacting with students are what Michele enjoyed most about being an instructor.
Dr. George Minmier, 76, died July 1, 2010. Dr. Minmier, a Paris, Ark., native, graduated from the
University of Arkansas with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1956 and
served on the USS Intrepid and the VW-4 Air Squadron (Hurricane Hunters) as a supply officer. After
an honorable discharge, George worked as an accountant for a number of Fortune 500 companies
and earned his M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 1963. In 1967, George pursued
his Ph.D. in Accounting at the University of Arkansas and later accepted a position with Georgia State
University in Atlanta, where he earned the Outstanding Teacher Award Phi Chi Theta for Business
Students. Jimmy Carter was the Governor of Georgia at the time, and George’s work became a part
of Carter’s presidential initiatives. He became an accounting professor at the University of Memphis
in 1979, where he was recognized as an outstanding professor, earned several honors and received
the CPA and CMA certificates. George was committed to his beloved Beta Alpha Psi for the Gamma
George Samuel Minmier, Ph.D.
University of Memphis
Chi chapter and was the longest serving faculty advisor in the international honors fraternity. His
involvement spanned 30 years, including a number of years as a Regional Director and member
of the Board of Directors. George was awarded the McGladrey & Pullen/BAP Outstanding Faculty
Advisor Award two times. George was a wonderful and devoted father, grandfather and husband to
his wife, Jean. He and Jean enjoyed traveling and taking cruises. An enthusiastic dancer, he frequented
the former Summit Club “hug dancing” or jitterbugging with Jean.

Dear Members,
This is the first time the Executive Office staff has been invited to contribute to the Beta Alpha Psi
annual report. I speak on behalf of Margie Fiorentino, Este Alicea-Rivera, and myself, in saying that
we are honored to be in our positions, serving our members and implementing the policies approved
by our board of directors who represent you. Our Executive Office is unusual in that it is housed
within the American Institute of CPAs. Through a contractual arrangement, we have three full-time
employees, plus we have an extended family of individuals who dedicate a portion of their time in
completing our business needs such as accounting, conference planning, graphic design, facilities
assistance, legal, and in many other ways. We are indebted to the generosity of the AICPA who
enables us to operate as though we are a large company while we do it with a very small staff.
Our daily activities are fairly typical of a small business: we answer many phone calls and emails
from you on every possibly topic. We also process your payments and transmit your nominations/
applications to the appropriate judging task force.
The Nancy C. Harke Executive Office
is operated under the direction of the Beta
Alpha Psi board of directors. Support for the
office is provided by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) under
the terms of an alliance that has allowed Beta
Alpha Psi to streamline the reporting process,
and to take advantage of may available
resources.
Contacting the Executive Office

We support the Beta Alpha Psi board, which determines the strategic direction of the organization.
When a new competition is approved, it is our responsibility to work with our volunteers to
implement and mainstream it into our organization.
During the past few months, a task force of the board has been planning the launch of a Beta Alpha
Psi e-newsletter. Our staff supported the task force in many ways to enable us to use e-mail so that
the messages will not go straight to spam, updating our policies and procedures so that we are in
compliance with privacy practices, and developing a realistic production schedule. The PCA was
adjusted at the recommendation of our alumni representatives to encourage our chapters to help us
update our alumni database.
We prepare a budget that serves as a financial guide for what we expect in the upcoming year. We
update it periodically since most of what happens is a result of your efforts to keep our chapters very
active. We have an annual review of our internal controls by the AICPA Internal Audit team to make
sure they comply with current standards. Though our books and financial records are not more complex
than those in a basic accounting course, our statements need review and there are adjustments and
corrections that take place throughout the year. We have an annual audit by J.H. Cohn and its auditors
request analyses and ask incisive questions related to our current and future plans.
As I write this, we are getting to the final stages of planning our upcoming annual conference in San
Jose, CA. We work with volunteer conference chairs and other volunteers responsible for various
segments of the conference. I hope you have noticed that our conference website is contemporary
and much more user friendly. In the fall, we invited your chapter to participate in our operations
sessions. The Advisory Forum and its representatives will be the presenters in our professional
sessions. At the request of the board, the BAP staff has helped generate new revenue sources to help
cover the increasing costs of the conference. We want your experience in San Jose to be memorable
and professional.
We welcome Kathleen Horton, CMP, and Beth Woloski, members of the AICPA Meetings and
Conferences team, who took over the leadership of our conference planning function at the end
of April 2010. They and their colleagues will be responsible for booking hotels for our regional and
annual meetings, negotiating contracts, working with our annual and regional meeting planning
teams, and fulfilling the other responsibilities of being conference planners. We acknowledge and
thank Yolanda Hamer, who served as Beta Alpha Psi’s first full-time conference planner for almost
four years and wish her good luck in her new position.
In closing, we’d like to thank the board of directors, the faculty advisors, the chapter officers who
tirelessly plan and run the activities, and our members. We had a very successful 2009-10 year and plan
to build on it during 2010-11 and in future years.
Yours truly,
Dassie Baum, Executive Director

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the board of directors
Beta Alpha Psi
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of
Beta Alpha Psi as of April 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements
of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Organization’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Beta Alpha Psi as of April
30, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its net assets and cash flows for
the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

B ETA ALP HA P S I
Note 1 — Purpose and summary
of accounting policies:
Purpose: Beta Alpha Psi (the “Organization”) is
organized and operated for the encouragement and
recognition of scholastic and professional excellence
in the fields of finance, accounting and information
systems. The Organization’s objectives are
accomplished through the activities of its chapters.
Financial resources to promote these activities are
provided by the chapters and various public and
private firms.
Accounting method: The accompanying financial
statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Organization
considers instruments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. As of April 30, 2010 and 2009, the
Organization’s cash equivalents consisted primarily
of short-term U.S. treasury obligations and money
market funds.
Investments: Short and long-term investments for
the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 consist
of certificates of deposit with varying maturity
lengths. Certificates of deposit with maturities
of greater than three months, but less than one
year are considered short-term. Certificates of
deposit greater than one year are considered held
long-term.
2010 Annual Report
Concentrations of credit risk: Financial
instruments which potentially subject the
Organization to concentrations of credit risk consist
of cash and cash equivalents. The Organization
maintains its cash and cash equivalents in
account balances, which may at times exceed
the insured amount under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of April 30,
2010 and 2009, the Organization’s cash balance
exceeded the current insured amount under
FDIC by approximately $173,000 and $166,000,
respectively. Cash equivalent amounts invested in
a Sweep Investment Account (“Sweep Account”),
collateralized by U.S. Government securities, are not
insured nor guaranteed by the FDIC. As of April 30,
2010 and 2009, the balance in the Sweep Account
was $905,000 and $0, respectively.
Accounts receivable: Credit risk with respect
to accounts receivable is limited because
the Organization deals with a large number
of members in a wide geographic area. The
Organization closely monitors the extension of
credit to its members. On a periodic basis, the
Organization evaluates its accounts receivable
and establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts, based on a history of past write-offs
and collections and current credit considerations.
Consequently, as of April 30, 2010 and 2009, the
Organization has no significant concentrations of
credit risk. As of April 30, 2010 and 2009, there
is no allowance for doubtful accounts established
as management believes that all amounts are
collectible.
Web site development costs: All costs incurred
in planning the development of a web site are
expensed as incurred. Costs, other than general
and administrative and overhead costs, incurred
in the web site application and infrastructure
39
development stage, which involves acquiring
or developing hardware and software to
operate the web site, are capitalized. Fees
paid to an Internet service provider for
hosting a web site on its server(s) connected
to the Internet are expensed over the
estimated period of benefit. Other costs
incurred during the operating stage, such
as training, administration and maintenance
costs, are expensed as incurred. Costs
incurred during the operating stage for
upgrades and enhancements of a web site
are capitalized if it is probable that they will
result in added functionality. Capitalized web
site development costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful
life. The unamortized costs remaining as of
April 30, 2010 and 2009 represent salary and
outsourced costs associated with new site
development and enhancements.
Fair value measurements: The
Organization adopted the fair value
accounting standard as of the beginning of
its 2010 fiscal year. The accounting standard
for fair value establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements.
Net assets: The Organization’s financial
resources have been combined into two net
asset classes (unrestricted and temporarily
restricted) based upon stipulations imposed
by donors. Unrestricted net assets include
expendable resources over which the
Organization’s Board of Directors has
discretionary control and are used to
carry out the Organization’s operations in
accordance with its by-laws. Temporarily
restricted net assets include resources
expendable only for those purposes specified
40
by a donor or grantor. The restrictions are
satisfied by specific expenditures of the
Organization.
Contributed services: The Organization
recognizes contribution revenue for certain
contributed services received at the fair value
of those services. Those services include
facilities and organizational support valued
at $109,639 and $97,029 for the years
ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
furnished by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. See Note 5 for
additional services provided by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In
addition, a significant amount of time, for
which no value has been assigned as it does
not meet the criteria for recognition, was
volunteered by professors and students to
the activities of the Organization.
Contributed property and fixtures:
Contributed property and fixtures are
recorded at fair value at the date of
donation. If donors stipulate the use of the
assets, the contributions are recorded as
restricted support. In the absence of such
stipulations, contributions of property and
fixtures are recorded as unrestricted support.
No contributed property or fixtures were
donated for the years ended April 30, 2010
and 2009.
Revenue recognition: Revenue from
initiation and chapter maintenance fees are
recorded in the period the fees are due.
Contributions as well as charter and petition
fees are recognized in the period received.
Revenue received from the annual student
convention, regional meetings, and other
conferences is recognized in the period in
which the event occurs.
B ETA ALP HA P S I
New accounting
pronouncements:
Income taxes: The Organization adopted
the new accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes guidance on May 1, 2009.
The adoption of that guidance did not result
in the recognition of any unrecognized
tax benefits and the Organization has no
unrecognized tax benefits at April 30, 2010.
The Organization’s U.S. Federal income tax
returns prior to fiscal year April 30, 2007
are closed and management continually
evaluates expiring statutes of limitations,
audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax
law and new authoritative rulings.
As of April 30, 2010, the Organization did
not recognize any interest and penalties
associated with tax matters.
Subsequent events: In May 2009, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance
regarding subsequent events that provides
guidance as to when an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring
after the statement of financial position
date in its financial statements and the
necessary disclosures related to these events.
The Organization adopted the provisions
of this guidance for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2010 and the adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact
on the Organization’s financial statements.
The Organization has evaluated subsequent
events through June 16,2010, the date which
the financial statements were available to be
issued.
Codification: In June 2009, the FASB
issued authoritative guidance regarding
2010 Annual Report
accounting standards codification and the
hierarchy of generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”). This guidance has
become the source of the authoritative U.S.
GAAP recognized by the FASB and applied
by nongovernmental entities. This guidance
was effective for financial statements issued
for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The Organization
adopted the provisions of this guidance for
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 and
the adoption of this guidance did not have
a material impact on the Organization’s
financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain accounts in
the 2009 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current
year’s presentation.
Note 2 — Investments:
Investments consist of the following:

Total FAIR VALUE
The fair value of the certificates of deposit
approximates cost.
Investment income consists of interest income
of $6,652 and $17,815 in 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Note 3 — Fair value
measurements:
As stated in Note 1, on May 1, 2009,
the Organization adopted the fair value
accounting standard to value its financial
41
assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on
the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. In order to increase
consistency and comparability in fair value
measurements, the fair value accounting
standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs
used to measure fair value into three broad
levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets that are accessible at the
measurement date for identical assets or
liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than
Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices
in inactive markets; or model-derived
valuations in which all significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally
from or corroborated with observable
market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used
when little or no market data is available.
The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest
priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Organization
utilizes valuation techniques that maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs to the extent
possible as well as considers counterparty
credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Financial assets carried at fair value at April 30,
2010 are classified in the table below in one of
the three categories described above:

Total
Certificates of deposit
$420,052

Total ASSETS MEASURES

$420,052
$420,052
Investments in certificates of deposit are
valued using market prices on active markets
(Level 1). Level 1 instrument valuations
are obtained from real-time quotes for
transactions in active exchange markets
involving identical assets.
The preceding methods described may
produce a fair value calculation that may
not be indicative of net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values.
