Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Gcu is exempt from federal and state income tax under the provisions of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements. Gcu is classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) and qualifies for deductible contributions as provided in section 170(b)(1)(a)(ii). Generally accepted accounting principles in the united states require gcu to examine its tax positions for uncertain positions. Gcu is not aware of any tax positions that are more likely than not to change in the next 12 months, or that would not sustain an examination by applicable taxing authorities. Gcu's policy is to recognize penalties and interest as incurred in its statement of activities as a component of operating expenses, and total $0 and $0 for the years ended july 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gcu's federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities, generally for three years after the later of the original or extended due date.”
