7、Functional Expenses This statement is recommended but not required for other not-for-profits.,Basis of Accounting and Use of Funds,Accrual Basis:The accrual basis is required.This includes calculation and recording of depreciation expense.The financial statements report expenses,not expenditures or
8、encumbrances.,Funds:Many Private Not-for-profit organizations use fund designations internally for bookkeeping purposes,but the financial statements are on an overall basis and do not make reference to funds except in the notes or supplemental schedules,Statement of Financial Position,Assets and lia
9、bilities are not required to be classified as current and non-current,but may be.Long-term assets and debt are reported.Net Assets(equities)are classified as:UnrestrictedTemporarily restricted-time or purpose restrictionsPermanently restricted,Accounting rules require contributions to be recorded wh

12、ssify expenses as program or supporting services.,RestrictionsTemporarily restricted resources must be released or moved from the temporary column to the unrestricted column as restrictions are satisfied.,Revenues arerecorded within 3 categories,Expenses are always reported as unrestricted,There are
13、 2 required categories of expenses,When we spend cash according to the donors wishes,we reclassify$from Temp.Restricted to Unrestricted,(Rev Exp)is called change in net assets,Statement of Cash Flows,FASB uses 3 categoriesOperating Interest expense,interest revenue,and gains and losses are classifie
14、d as operatingInvesting Purchases or sales of fixed assets as well as purchases or sales of long-term investmentsFinancing Issuance of debt;repayments of principal of debtNot-for-profits have the option of using either the indirect approach or the direct approach plus reconciliation.,Statement of Fu
15、nctional Expenses,This is a matrix(spreadsheet)of expenses where the columns are the program or supporting activities and the rows are the type of expense(salaries,supplies,depreciation,etc.)This statement shows more detail than the Activity Statement on how the expenses were allocated to programs a
16、nd supporting services.The purpose of this statement is to show the details of the entitys spending on direct programs activities versus overhead(supporting services).It helps donors assess entity efficiency.,Accounting for Contributions,FASB Statement 116 requires contributions,including unconditio
17、nal promises of support,to be recognized as contribution revenue in the period received at their fair market value.,SFAS 116:Accounting for Contributions Received and Made,SFAS 116 does not change the accounting for exchange transactions(earned revenues).Care should be taken to identify whether memb
18、ership dues are contributions or exchanges.Not-for-profit organizations must distinguish between contributions that are permanently restricted,temporarily restricted,and unrestricted.Such restrictions are donor-imposed.,Accounting for Pledges,Under accrual basis,unconditional pledges are recorded ev
19、en before the cash is received.Record the receivable at the present value,net of an allowance for estimated uncollectibles If there is expected to be an extended time period before the gift is received record the receivable at its present value:The present value will increase as the expected date of
20、 receipt approaches.The change in present value is recorded as additional contribution revenue rather than interest.,Contributed Services,Should contributed services be recorded?Only if theyCreate or enhance a nonfinancial asset ORRequire specialized skills,were provided by someone possessing those
21、skills,and would have been purchased if not donated.,Contributed Services,If recorded,how should they be recorded?If a nonfinancial asset is enhanced:Dr.Capital Asset(for the value of the services).Cr.Contribution revenues Otherwise:Dr.Expense(for the value of the services).Cr.Contribution revenues,
22、Exchanges vs.Contributions,Contributions are considered as revenues as soon as received(or pledged)even if the use is restricted.But depending on the terms of the contribution,may later be reclassified from temporarily restricted to unrestricted.If money is received in advance of providing the servi
23、ce on an exchange-like transaction,the amount received is considered Deferred Revenue.,Intentions to Give,Pledges are recorded if unconditional.Intentions to give(oral promises,wills)are often not legally enforceable,as the donors retain legal right to change their mind.Intentions to give are not re
24、corded until the actual gift materializes.,Fixed Assets,Fixed assets,whether purchased or donated,can be recorded either as Unrestricted assets,orAs temporarily restricted.If initially recorded as temporarily restricted an amount equal to depreciation must be released each year to unrestricted asset
25、s.NOTE:Some not-for-profits may prefer the later approach because readers of the financial statements may think unrestricted net assets means expendable funds-listing the long-term assets as temporarily restricted decreases requests to spend reserves that are not really available in a liquid form.,P
26、erformance Evaluation,FASB 117 presents not-for-profit statements in a format similar to business statements.Although revenues and expenses are measured on the accrual basis,the“bottom line”(Change in net assets)is not directly comparable to that of a business.Since many of the revenues are non-exch
27、ange,Change in Net Assets is not a measure of organizational effectiveness.,Is it Proper for Not-for-Profits to Have a Profit?,Legitimate reasons for a not-for-profit to have a profit are:To replace and expand equipment and facilities.To provide working capital.To retire debt.To continue programs be
28、yond the time frame when seed money grants are available.,Program Expense Ratio,The most commonly used ratio for not-for-profit is the Program Expense Ratio:Program Service Expenses/Total Expenses Program Services include expenses associated with performing the mission of the organizationSupporting
29、Services include management and general;fund raising and membership development,Program Expense Ratio,A high ratio of program expense will assure donors that the organization spends the bulk of dollars donated for its mission oriented activities rather than for overhead,The organization may need to
30、keep detailed time records to properly report costs(e.g.salary)associated with both program and supporting activities.,Program vs.Supporting Expense Allocations,Because of the importance of the program expense ratio,care must be taken in the allocation of joint costs between program and supporting s
31、ervices.Salaries and depreciation must be allocated to the two functions on an equitable basis.Fund raising appeals sometimes also include program elements and not-for-profits would like to allocate some of these costs to programs to improve the program expense ratio,Program vs.Supporting Expense Al
32、locations contd,The criteria to determine whether part of the cost of a fund raising campaign applies to program expense are:Purpose:Does the communication help meet program goals and functions?Audience:General audience,not just sent to last years donors.Content:Calls for specific action directed at
33、 program goals.,SFAS 124:Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations,FASB requires investments with readily determinable market values to be recorded at fair market values and gains and losses be recognized,Transfers of Contributions to Not-for-Profits,Assume a not-for-pr
34、ofit receives assets from a donor for distribution to a beneficiary:ACCOUNTING ISSUE:If cash or other assets are held by a not-for-profit with instructions to release this money for specified parties,is this a revenue or is it an agency relationship(liability)?,SFAS 136:Transfer of Assets to a Not-f
35、or-Profit,If the not-for-profit agrees to transfer the assets to a specified beneficiary,the not-for-profit is deemed to merely be acting as an agent and a liability,rather than a contribution,is recorded.If the not-for-profit has the ability to redirect the assets to another beneficiary,or if the n
36、ot-for-profit and beneficiary are related,the assets are recorded as a contribution.,Transfers of Contributions to Not-for-Profits,CENTRAL CONCEPT:It is a revenue if the not-for-profit can control who gets the money,otherwise it is credited to a liability account because the not-for-profit is only a
37、cting as an agent on behalf of the donor.EXCEPTION:If the party receiving the money and the not-for-profit are financially interrelated,then this may be a revenue to the not-for-profit.,Consolidation of not-for-profits,The AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide,Not-for-Profit Organizations,requires consol
38、idation of entities in which a not-for-profit organization has a controlling financial interest.Control may be determined by a majority ownership interest or by holding a majority voting interest in the governing board of an entity in which the not-for-profit has an economic interest through contrac
39、tual or affiliation agreements.This is similar to practices followed in the public sector with component unit reporting.,Mergers of not-for-profits,FASB Statement No.164,Not-for Profit Entities:Mergers and Acquisitions,permits two different accounting treatments for combinations by not-for-profit or
40、ganizations.The central issue is whether the combination is a merger or an acquisition,Mergers of not-for-profits,A merger is a transaction in which the governing bodies of two or more not-for-profit entities relinquish control of those entities to create a new not-for-profit entity.To qualify as a
41、new entity,the combined entity must have a newly formed governing body.Although commonly there will be a new legal entity,that is not a requirement.The resulting not-for-profit entity will account for the merger using the carryover method.Under the carryover method:,Carryover method book values“carr
42、yover”to new entity,The new entity recognizes the assets and liabilities of the separate merging entities in the amounts(and classifications)reported in the financial statements of the merging entities.No internally developed intangible assets(such as goodwill)are recognized.The entity resulting fro
43、m the merger is a new reporting entity,with no activity before the date of the merger.,Acquisition Method,Combinations not meeting the definition of a merger are reported as acquisitions.The accounting treatment is similar to the purchase method of accounting for business combinationsThe essential e
44、lement of the acquisition method is that the entity records the acquired assets and liabilities at their fair values,not at the acquired entitys book values.,Acquisition Accounting,The not-for-profit entity recognizes the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values at t
45、he date of acquisition.Noncontrolling interest(if any)is reported at fair value at the acquisition date and is adjusted in subsequent periods in a manner similar to business organizations.Goodwill may be reported.,Goodwill,Not-for-profit entities that derive their revenues from business-like activities are required to measure and report goodwill as an asset in a similar manner as businesses.However,entities that derive their revenues primarily from contributions are to expense the goodwill at date of acquisition.,
