Subject:Seminar on Accounting for Colleges and Universities
In an effort to provide campus staff with a better understanding of the impact of 
preparing financial statements for the CSU in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a seminar has been developed that 
seeks to assist in preparing campuses for this transition.  The difference 
between this seminar and others on accounting for colleges and universities 
is that it will address concerns specific to the CSU.  The seminar will cover 
many of the issues encountered during the five campus GAAP audit.  The 
instructors for the seminar will be partners from Coopers & Lybrand.  The 
seminar is scheduled for June 8 and 9, 1995, and will be held near LAX at the 
Doubletree Hotel in Los Angeles.  The cost is $250 per person.  I apologize for 
the short notice but we are trying to fit this seminar in before year end closing 
consumes everyone's available time.

The seminar is designed for staff that will have responsibility for all or any 
part of the preparation of campus GAAP based financial statements.  I would 
encourage you to send as many staff as is practical.

Attached is the seminar agenda and a registration form.  A completed 
registration form with a check made payable to the CSU Foundation should 
be returned by May 24, 1995.  Although we will be able to accommodate 
attendees after this date, we need to make arrangements for meals and 
meeting materials as soon as possible.  Hotel reservations must be made 
separately with the Doubletree Hotel by calling (310) 216-5858.  Referencing 
this seminar when registering at the hotel will keep our meeting room costs to 
a minimum.  If you have any questions pertaining to the agenda or 
registration, please contact Silvia Barajas or me at (310) 951-4610.
