There is a key difference between for-profit and non-for-profit standards: it is the concept of fund accounting. The concept of fund accounting focuses on accountability and stewardship rather than profitability. For-profit entities have a general ledger, which is a single self-balancing account — while nonprofits typically have a number of general ledgers, or funds.
This accounting framework enables not-for-profit organizations to separate resources into different accounts to identify individual sources of funds and their usage. Further, nonprofit organizations receive many benefits as tax-exempt organizations, they must keep detailed records about contributions, assets, and expenses.
Given this background, it is imperative to understand that Not-for-Profit organizations present a unique set of accounting and governance issues. This webinar will focus on the following topics of fundamentals of NFP organizations:
Key definitions
Financial statements
Governance
Revenue recognition
In-kind contributions
Tax considerations
This webinar would be double the value if you had already attended Revenue Recognition for NFP Organizations from the speaker.
Learning Objectives
To identify fundamental terms and concepts specific to NFP organizations
To outline a financial statement presentation
To explain key aspects of good governance and tax considerations
To identify thoroughly revenue recognition concepts for NFPs
