FORM 990, PAGE 12, PART XII, LINE 1 DURING THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, THE FOUNDATION ADOPTED A POLICY OF PREPARING ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (GAAP). PRIOR TO 2023, THE FOUNDATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED ON THE MODIFIED CASH BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, A BASIS OF ACCOUNTING THAT DIFFERS FROM GAAP DUE TO NOT RECOGNIZING BALANCES, AND THE RELATED EFFECTS ON THE CHANGES IN NET ASSETS, OF FEES AND CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVABLE AND OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TO VENDORS AND OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THIS CHANGE RESULTS IN MORE RELEVANT FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR USE IN THE FOUNDATION'S CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONSIDERING OTHER USERS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THIS CHANGE WAS NOT MATERIAL AND THEREFORE NO ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE TO BEGINNING NET ASSETS.
