About the Event
The 2016 CalCPA Not-for-Profit Conference will be held on May 24 in Burbank and May 25 in San Francisco. The conference is designed by industry and public accounting experts and, in addition to a current accounting and tax update, will hit on hot topics such as Uniform Guidance and effective controls for Federal awards, compensation issues, private foundations and endowments, Board governance, complex gifts and expense allocation and overhead.

In addition to compliance work, Lauren consults on unrelated business income, reasonable compensation studies, governance, private inurement, public support tests, foreign reporting requirements and the formation of tax-exempt organizations. Lauren also regularly teaches Form 990 and 990PF courses for the AICPA and other prominent state societies and has co-authored the private foundations tax course for the AICPA in 2013.
