This modified cash basis of accounting differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america (gaap) primarily as a result of the nonrecognition of certain receivables and payables.”

“The organization's board of directors assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of the financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year.”
