We achieve this goal by strengthening California's network of local CASA programs and advocating for progressive child welfare policy and practice. false false 829880 California CASA Association supports the development, growth and continuation ofprograms that recruit and train volunteers to advocated for abused and neglectedchildren throughout California. CASA volunteers establish stable supportive relationships with children in the foster care system, getting to know their unique history and making informed recommendations to the courts. California CASA Association improves the scope, quality and impact of the CASA network by: a) Strengthening local CASA programs with technical assistance, quality training, and resources, b) working in partnership with California Judicial Council staffto ensure that local CASA programs are in compliance with State and NationalStandards, c) communicating the CASA perspective and advocating for progressive child welfare policy, and d) identifying and pursuing valuable strategic alliances that leverage and/or expand our children's resources statewide.

Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Organization's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2016. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
