A FASB Update for Nonprofits [Lunch & Learn]
Presented by David M. Rottkamp, CPA, Audit Partner & Not-for-Profit Practice Leader; Grassi & Co. | New York City Office - Partner-In-Charge
 As you may already know, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued in August 2016, the long-awaited proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) for Not-for-Profit Entities and Health Care Entities and also Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities. The standard represent the most significant changes in nonprofit reporting rules since 1993. Practically speaking, what does this really mean for your nonprofit? When do we have to implement these changes? How do the changes translate to what you see in your audited financial statements? Does this change how and what we prepare for the audit? Will these changes effect what we see on the form 990? Join us for a 90-minute webinar giving practical guidance for the "non" accountant and seasoned CFO alike.

Best Practices for Internal Controls in Arts Organizations [NYSCA Webinar] Presented by Kelly Mathews, COO & Sr. VP, Fiscal Accountability & Compliance, NYCON
Despite many nonprofit arts organizations having limited administrative staff, funders (and regulators) have expectations regarding their organization's internal controls, regardless of budget or staff size. Many of NYCON's nonprofit members experienced the challenges of documenting internal controls when prequalifying in the NYS Grants Gateway to receive state funding. A question we hear consistently is, "How can we possibly create, document and consistently apply complex Internal Control processes in an organization with limited capacity?" This training will offer a common sense approach to documenting simple, yet effective internal control processes that allow your organization to demonstrate accountability, efficiency, and a commitment to safeguarding your organization's assets.
This webinar is part of the NYSCA Statewide Organizational Development Services program provided by NYCON via our partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Fundraising Compliance from "Soup to Nuts" [Webinar]
Presented by Michael West, Sr. Attorney, NYCON
For better or worse (we hope mostly for better) the world of online fundraising has effectively changed the game for many small nonprofits. New online tools and donation processing portals have put the substantial power of technology into the hands of worthy charities that may not be able to afford it just a year or two ago. However, this "brave new world" of fundraising does not allow organizations to ignore the compliance rules and regulations when it comes to fundraising in New York. Have you ever wondered what your organization's responsibilities were when soliciting donations? Have you wondered if you've registered properly as a tax-exempt New York State nonprofit? Do you have your charitable solicitation license? Whether it be by tried and true methods (mailing annual appeals) or branching out (email or social media appeals) or even taking advantage of online community fundraising events (like Giving Tuesday or NYGivesDay) this webinar will help ensure that you know the steps to annual fundraising compliance, give you tools and resources to complete those steps and a place to go if you should need help bringing your organization into compliance with New York laws.
