“The prior year 990 was filed prior to the finalization of the audit for june 30, 2023. The number on line 8 represents the audit adjustments made to the net assets as of june 30, 2023. The aggregate amount of these adjusments were -182,723.”

Financial Statement Notes

X 2

“The organization is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of california and, as such, is exempt from federal and state income taxes under internal revenue code section 501c3 and corresponding state provisions. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the organization in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The organizations federal income tax and informational returns for tax years ended june 30, 2020, and subsequent remain open to examination by the internal revenue service. The returns for california, the organizations only state tax jurisdiction, remain open to examination by the california franchise tax board for tax years ended june 30, 2019, and subsequent.”

“This amount represents tuition assistance presented net of tuition revenue in the statement of activities in the audit.”
