Treasury Decision 9390 was issued on March 28, 2008 by the Department of Treasury. Among its provisions include the final regulations that enumerate substantive requirements for tax exemption of organizations, including measures these organizations should adopt in order to maintain their tax exempt status. To continuously enjoy this, educational, charitable and other non-profit organizations should operate with the public interest in view. These organizations should familiarize themselves of this development to avoid revocation of their exempt status.

The Knowledge Congress assembles a panel of experts to fully discus what this new regulation is all about. Keynote speakers from leading industries and government regulators are scheduled to speak in this two-hour teleconference and webinar.
