Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 1:

“The Organization uses a modified cash basis of accounting. Revenues and expenses are generally recorded when cash is received or paid; however, the Organization records certain items on an accrual basis, including year-end tuition receivables, deferred revenue for tuition received in advance, and selected accounts payable. The Organization does not record certain accruals required under full accrual accounting, such as accrued compensated absences and accrued wages.”
