GWSCPA Nonprofit Financial Accountability Task Force announces beta launch of new website: www.nonprofitaccountingbasics.org!
The Greater Washington Society of CPAs Education Foundation received early support for the technical development and launch of its online financial accountability education and resource center from the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation and has attracted initial operating support from several DC Metro area accounting firms.
The site was conceived and designed by the GWSCPA’s Nonprofit Financial Accountability Task Force to address the needs of not-for-profit organizations’ executives, finance, accounting and personnel officers, and current and potential board members as well as the accounting practitioners who serve them.
With particular emphasis on small and midsized not-for-profit organizations, the objective of the web site is to strengthen the financial management capabilities of organizations in the National Capital Area, although the site is has already generated interest from, and will ultimately serve, a national audience.
The content is assembled, vetted, and maintained by Task Force members, experts in the field of not-for-profit accounting, addressing topics such as:
internal controls
disclosure requirements
audit preparation
tax filings
effective budgeting and reporting
fundraising issues
payroll
restricted grants
governmental accounting requirements
governance and policies
other information specific to not-for-profit accounting and critical to achieving financial accountability.
If you would like more information about the Task Force, or how to contribute content or become a site sponsor before our official national launch, contact Kari Bedell at kbedell@gwscpa.org or 202-464-6001.

Dear Friends,
There have been a lot of changes here at the GWSCPA in the past six months – a lot more is planned for the upcoming year. When I sat down to think about the most important things to emphasize in my first communication as incoming GWSCPA President, a theme quickly emerged: keeping our members connected.
The GWSCPA is your connection in providing advocacy and information on issues of concern like CPA mobility, new DC peer review requirements and other legislative and regulatory activities. There is strength in partnerships, and the GWSCPA itself is working to reconnect to our natural and historical partners, like the AICPA, the DC Board of Accountancy and our neighboring state societies. We are also forging new ties to organizations with common interests like NABA, the Accountants Coalition, the AGA, local universities and other DC area business groups. And, our recently added monthly newsletters are fresh and informative.
The GWSCPA is your connection to professional networking opportunities in both good and turbulent times. Given our economic environment, networking with peers, regulators and business partners has never been more important. The GWSCPA provides this through committee meetings, conferences, social events and quarterly open member meetings that will begin this fall. The expertise, influence and availability of your fellow peers are unlike anywhere else in the country, and GWSCPA membership brings that prestigious community right to your door.
The GWSCPA is your connection to the most relevant and diverse CPE you can find whether live, online, or even in your own office. Through practical CPE events, you stay informed about key information and developments from sweeping trends to technical changes that affect your work on a daily basis. Members-only discounts and other benefits give you an edge, and there is much more to come this year as we focus on increasing member value through new services and activities.
We’re very excited about the new energy surrounding our profession here in the greater Washington area. The GWSCPA is changing and renewing our commitment to you, our valued members. We hope you’ll renew your commitment to the profession, and to us, for this upcoming year.
Let’s stay connected!
Sincerely,
John D. Griffin, CPA
President-Elect
