Management has evaluated the income tax positions taken and concluded that as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Guild is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any tax periods. In addition, there have been no tax related interest or penalties for the periods presented in these financial statements. Should such penalties and interest be incurred, the Guild's policy is to recognize them as administrative and general expenses.

Part XII LINE 1 - Basis of Accounting: The financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Generally, revenue is recognized when received rather than when earned and expenses are recorded when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. However, investments are reported at fair value, investment income is recorded when earned, property assets are capitalized and depreciated, transactions as a result of payroll processing are accrued, amounts collected on behalf of members are accrued, and amounts due from affiliated organizations for expenses paid on their behalf are accrued. The financial statements are not intended to present the Guild's financial position and activities in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
