CalCPA TREASURER'S REPORT

CalCPA finished the fiscal year with an all-time high of just over 44,000 members. Financially, total assets decreased by $3.7 million this year to a total of $32.1 million. Net assets finished the year at $23.5 million--lower than the prior year due to one-time expenses related to moving to our new headquarters. These included relocation expenses and loss on sublease, in addition to an increase in deprecation.

Despite the membership increase, dues revenues declined slightly by 2 percent from the prior year. This downward revenue trend reflects the conversion of members into our Life membership category and retirement of members, combined with the decrease in CPA candidates seeking CPA licensure. Our Student and Candidate membership categories continue to represent the future of CalCPA. Our growing Financial Professional membership category will continue to be an area of focus in the coming years.

We look forward to new opportunities to expand our membership. We continue to appreciate and need your involvement to ensure CalCPA continues to support our members, who are California's finest CPAs, leading business and finance professionals, students and educators.

CalCPA EDUCATION FOUNDATION TREASURER'S REPORT

The CalCPA Education Foundation ended the year with an increase in net assets, compared to the prior year's decrease. The increase is attributed to expense management in response to declining revenue. Total revenue continues to decrease, as our competition continues to offer low-cost or free content.

Course and conference revenue hours have declined with the shifting of courses to shorter hours and consolidation of some conferences.

The Education Foundation continues to have the resources to invest in its future. We finished the year with total assets of $11.2 million, including an investment portfolio of $9.1 million, and net assets of $9 million at year-end, an increase from the prior year.

Technology will play a large role in our future plans to remain relevant in the education marketplace. Innovation and partnerships with the CPA profession will allow the Education Foundation to continue to provide education and build knowledge to advance individuals and the profession.

Report on the Combined Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (the Society) and CALIFORNIA CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS EDUCATION FOUNDATION (the Foundation), which comprise the combined statements of financial position as of April 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related combined statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of California Society of Certified Public Accountants and California Certified Public Accountants Education Foundation as of April 30, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in their combined net assets and their combined cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Supplementary Information--Combining Statements

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements as of and for the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the combined financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combined financial statements. The information as of and for the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the combined financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combined financial statements or to the combined financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information as of and for the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the combined financial statements as a whole.
