Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 No documents available to the public. Form 990, Part XII, Line 1 During the current fiscal year, San Jose News Bureau has transitioned from reporting its financial position using the Fund Balances method to reporting Net Assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 958. The change in accounting principle was implemented to align our financial reporting practices with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and to enhance the transparency and comparability of our financial statements. FASB ASC 958 provides guidance on reporting net assets for non-profit organizations, and we believe that adopting this standard will provide stakeholders with more meaningful and informative financial information. Under the previous accounting method using Fund Balances, our financial statements classified balances into various funds based on donor restrictions and organizational designations. With the transition to reporting Net Assets, our financial statements now classify balances into net assets with donor restrictions and without donor restrictions, in accordance with FASB ASC 958. The change in accounting principle has resulted in adjustments to our balance sheet and other financial statements to reflect the new reporting method for net assets. As a result, our financial position's presentation was revised to align with the classifications prescribed by FASB ASC 958. Previous fund balances have been reclassified into the appropriate categories of net assets, providing stakeholders with a clearer understanding of our financial resources and restrictions. The transition to reporting Net Assets in accordance with FASB ASC 958 represents our commitment to financial transparency, accountability, and compliance with established accounting standards. We believe that this change will enhance the usefulness and reliability of our financial statements for stakeholders, including donors, grantors, regulators, and the public.
