Nonprofits Take Center Stage at Haskell & White Financial Conference — Haskell & White
Orange County, Calif.-based CPA firm leads educational program for more than 50 organizations; topics include fundraising, tax reform
IRVINE, Calif. – May 7, 2018 – PRLog — Amid vast changes in the financial reporting regulations and tax reform on the horizon, the nonprofit community of Southern California is better prepared following the recent “Sharing Solutions” conference hosted by Haskell & White LLP (http://www.hwcpa.com/)
Approximately 80 leaders from 50 different nonprofits, including organizations with more than $100 million in annual revenues and support, attended the debut event held at the Center Club in Costa Mesa on April 18. While much ground was covered in the three-hour program, most of the interest centered around changes to nonprofit financial statements, which have been overhauled for the first time in a quarter-century. Within this topic, different strategies for implementation were explained as well as best practices for educating board members and donors.
“There is concern within the nonprofit world about these changes, and it’s important to bring everyone up to speed as much as possible,” said Wayne Pinnell (https://www.hwcpa.com/
In addition to Pinnell, presentations were given by the firm’s Rick Smetanka (https://www.hwcpa.com/
