Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the organization's exempt status. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. CEE is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes that it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2019.
