The amended regulations, published in the February 22, 2011, New Jersey Register and effective immediately, include a provision requested by the Center for Non-Profits that raises the audit threshold from $250,000 in gross revenue to $500,000. The rule adoption means that any organization with less than $500,000 in gross revenue in its most recently completed fiscal year will no longer have to submit an independent audit in order to satisfy the requirements of New Jersey's fund raising statute. The Center estimates that the new change could save each covered organization an average of $7,000 annually, and will result in an annual combined savings of over $10 million for the non-profit community.
