The nonprofit sector is as vast and diverse as the state of California itself. While nonprofits have earned the trust of the public, most people understand nonprofits to be forces for good in their communities, they often don't realize the economic and (potential) political power of the sector. Unfortunately, 2025 has brought an unprecedented series of attacks on the sector from the new federal administration. This session will offer an overview of the importance of nonprofits, the ways in which they shape and are shaped by our public life, and the importance of nonprofit engagement in public policy debates. It will also delve into the new federal threats to the sector, how California is responding, and key legislation that will impact nonprofits at both the state and federal level.
In this session, the FASB’s lead staff member for the not-for-profit (NFP) sector will guide us through the latest developments in GAAP that are noteworthy for NFPs. We'll discuss new and recent Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs); key implementation matters on recent standards; and select projects in the FASB's pipeline. We'll focus especially on the following: the FASB’s current agenda and its public agenda consultation; recent and pending ASUs (e.g., Applying CECL to Short-Term Receivables) and ASUs now effective (e.g., Common Control Leasing Arrangements, Crypto Assets); and various current technical agenda projects (e.g., Software Development Costs, Environmental Credit Programs).
Join us for a session exploring important tax updates from the US Department of the Treasury, Congress, and the IRS and its implications for tax-exempt organizations.

With all the funding cutbacks facing the not-for-profit industry, it is more important than ever to harness the potential of generative AI to get more done with fewer resources. This session will demonstrate many practical ways that this technology can be applied. You will leave this presentation with a better understanding of how you can safely apply this powerful technology as your digital assistant.
In this session, you will enhance your understanding of very timely and relevant cybersecurity principles, threats and risks – and learn why an effective, executive-led cybersecurity management program is so important for NFPs. You’ll also gain appreciation why cybersecurity management may in fact be more important for NFP’s than for for-profit entities. Additionally, since the manner in which managing cybersecurity varies so much among NFPs, you will learn how to move forward on your own entity’s cybersecurity maturity path through implementation of a cybersecurity program using proven methodologies. Finally, since harmful cybersecurity incidents are becoming the rule, and not the exception, the presenters will provide best practice learnings about how to respond and recover from cybersecurity incidents (hint: you’ll want to implement a cybersecurity incident response plan). The presenters are Cybersecurity professionals from SingerLewak’s Business Informatics practice and bring with them experiences from decades of sound cybersecurity, information systems, internal controls and incident response projects and internal roles.
