Show notes

In this episode, Kristina, Ben, and Allison get together after a longer than expected hiatus to discuss all the happenings in the nonprofit world including a new IRS commissioner, updates on government spending bills, new donor disclosure rules, and charitable giving changes in 2018.

IS’s Carolyn Mollen and TechSoup’s Chris Worman then join Kristina to discuss FASB’s new accounting rule regarding cloud computer services. Why, you may ask? Because it’s a small but important step to ensuring nonprofits have more flexibility when making key decisions on technology upgrades and implementation.
