ENTITIES
(SCOPE AND NATURE)
VOLUTARY HEALTH AND WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS
NPE HAVE DIFFERENT GOALS AND PURPOSES TO PROFIT MAKING ENTITIES AND ARE RESPONSIBLE TO
DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS. HOWEVER, THEY ARE DEALING IN VERY LARGE SUMS OF MONEY AND IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY MANAGED AND THAT THEIR ACCOUNTS PRESENT FAIRLY THE
RESULTS OF THEIR OPERATIONS.
NPE ENTITIES INCLUDES:
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
HEALTH CARE ENTITIES
VOLUNTARY HEALTH AND WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS
OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS (CHURCHES AND MUSEUM)
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
• THE OBJECTIVE OF FINANCIAL REPORTING AND QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF DECISION-USEFUL
FINANCIAL REPORTING INFORMATION
a. NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES HAVE DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES, DIFFERENT OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS AND
CHARACTERISTICS TO PRIVATE SECTOR BUSINESSES.
b. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES EXIST REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSALS FOR NPE
INSUFFICIENT EMPHASIS ON ACCOUNTABILITY/STEWARDSHIP
A NEED TO BROADEN THE DEFINITION OF THE USERS AND USER GROUPS
THE EMPHASIS ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS IS INAPPROPRIATE TO NPE
INSUFFICIENT EMPHASIS ON BUDGETING
ACCOUNTABILITY/STEWARDSHIP
• NPE ARE NOT REPORTING TO SHAREHOLDERS, BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY CAN ACCOUNT FOR
FUNDS RECEIVED AND SHOW HOW THEY HAVE BEEN.
• RESOURCES MAY BE CONTRIBUTED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
- MANAGEMENT IS REQUIRED TO SHOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UTILIZED FOR THAT PURPOSES.
• TAXPAYERS ARE ENTITLED TO SEE HOW GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING THEIR MONEY.
USERS AND USER GROUPS
• PRIMARY USER GROUP - PROVIDERS OF FUNDS
PUBLIC BODIES SUCH AS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS – TAXPAYERS
PRIVATE BODIES SUCH AS CHARITIES – FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS, AND POTENTIAL FUTURE FINANCIAL
SUPPORTERS.
• SECONDARY PRIMARY USER GROUP – THE RECIPIENTS OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE
NPE
CASH FLOWS FOCUS
• EMPHASIZES THE NEED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION WHICH WILL ENABLE USERS TO ACCESS AN ENTITY’S
ABILITY TO GENERATE NET CASH INFLOWS.
• NPE NEED TO GENERATE CASH FLOWS, BUT OTHER ASPECTS ARE GENERALLY MORE SIGNIFICANT
- THE RESOURCES THE ENTITY HAS AVAILABLE TO DELIVER FUTURE GOODS AND SERVICES,
- THE COST AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE IT HASDELIVERED IN THE PAST
- DEGREE TO WHICH IT IS MEETING ITS OBJECTIVES
BUDGETING
• THE IASB HAS DECIDED TO LEAVE CONSIDERATION OF WHETHER FINANCIAL REPORTING SHOULD INCLUDE
FORECAST INFORMATION UNTIL LATER IN THE PROJECT.
• FOR NPE, BUDGETS AND VARIANCE ANALYSES ARE MORE IMPORTANT.
- FUNDING IS SUPPLIED ON THE BASIS OF A FORMAL, PUBLISHED BUDGET
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
• REGULATION OF PUBLIC NPE, PRINCIPALLY LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENTAL
AGENCIES, IS BY INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (IPSASB) WHICH
COMES UNDER INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ACCOUNTANT (IFAC)
INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC SECTOR
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
• THE IPSASB IS DEVELOPING A SET OF STANDARDS (IPSAS), BASED ON THE PFRS.
• THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN ISSUED:
1. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. CASH FLOW STATEMENTS
3. NET SURPLUS OR DEFICIT FOR THE PERIOD, FUNDAMENTAL ERRORS AND CHANGES IN
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
4. THE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
5. BORROWING COSTS
6.CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING FOR CONTROLLED ENTITIES
7. ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES
8. FINANCIAL REPORTING OF INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES
9. REVENUE FROM EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS
10. FINANCIAL REPORTING IN HYPERINFLATIONARY ECONOMIES
11. CONSTRUCTIONS CONTRACTS

NPE – SPECIFIC ISSUES
COST OF TRASITION
GENERAL ASSUMPTION THAT FOR PUBLIC SECTOR ENTITIES THE MOVE TO THE ACCRUAL BASIS
WILL RESULT TO MORE RELEVANT AND BETTER QUALITY FINANCIAL REPORTING, NO ACTUAL COST-BENEFIT
HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN ON THIS.
ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF THE ADAPTION OF THE ACCRUALS BASIS IS THAT IT WILL BE
POSSIBLE TO COMPARE THE COST OF PROVIDING A SERVICE AGAINST THE SAME COST IN THE PRIVATE
SECTOR.
DEFINITION OF A LIABILITY
THE FRAMEWORK DEFINES LIABILITY AS “ A PRESENT OBLIGATION OF THE ENTITY ARISING FROM PAST EVENTS, THE
SETTLEMENT OF WHICH IS EXPECTED TO RESULT TO AN OUTFLOW FROM THE ENTITY OF RESOURCES EMBODYING ECONOMIC
BENEFITS”.
LIABILITY IS RECOGNIZED WHEN THE AMOUNT OF THE OUTFLOW CAN BE RELIABLY MEASURED.
PUBLIC BENEFIT ENTITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE PUBLIC BENEFITS, BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE
TO BE RESOLVED OVER WHETHER THIS COMMITMENT MEETS THE DEFINITION OF LIABILITY.
THE ENTITY HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY GOODS OR SERVICES FOR WHICH IT IS REQUIRED TO MAKE “SETTLEMENT”.
DISTINCTION CA BE DRAWN BETWEEN “GENERAL COMMITMENTS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC BENEFITS” AND “ SPECIFIC
COMMITMENTS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC BENEFITS”
SPECIFIC COMMITMENT CAN BE REGARDED AS A “PRESENT OBLIGATION” BUT ARGUED THAT THE OBLIGATION ONLY ARISES
WHEN THE ENTITY FORMALLY UNDERTAKES TO PROVIDE SOMETHING SUCH AS A NON – PERFORMANCE – RELATED GRANT.
(IF THE GRANTS WERE PERFORMANCE RELATED , THE ENTITY WOULD BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW FROM THE AGREEMENT IF THE
PERFORMANCE TARGETS WERE NOT REACHED)
THERE IS ALSO THE ISSUE OF “RELIABLE MEASUREMNENT”
NATURE OF NPE
• RECEIVES CONTRIBUTIONS OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RESOURCES
• OPERATES FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN TO PROVIDE GOODS OR SERVICES
• DOES NOT POSSESS OWNERSHIP INTERESTS LIKE THOSE OF BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING METHODS OF EACH TYPE OF NPE VARY.
NONGOVERNMENTAL NOT- FOR- PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE NPE THAT LACK THE GOVERNMENTAL
ELEMENT.
- ALL NONGOVERNMENTAL, NOT –FOR –PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS USE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME
BASIC GUIDANCE, ALTHOUGH THE NATURE OF THEIR TRANSACTIONS DIFFERS.
ACCOUNTING FOR PRIVATE NPE
• THE FULL ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING IS USED FOR ALL NOT-FOR-PROFIT
• FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR PRIVATE NPE EMPHASIZES THE ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE
• ACCOUNTING STANDARDS REQUIRES NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS WITH THE ORGANIZATION – WIDE TOTAL ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS AS WELL AS
ORGANIZATION WIDE CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AND CASH FLOWS
• FUND ACCOUNTING CONTINUES TO BE USED
• THREE NET ASSET CLASSES
- UNRESTRICTED
- TEMPORARY RESTRICTED
- PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED
NET ASSETS CLASSES PROVIDE A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN RESOURCES THAT ARE EXTERNALLY
RESTRICTED AND THOSE THAT ARE INTERNALLY DESIGNATED BY ACTION OF THE GOVERNING BOARD.
BECAUSE OF A SHIFT AWAY FROM A FUND ACCOUNTING FOCUS TOWARD AN ORGANIZATION- WIDE
FOCUS, EXTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO INCLUDE FUND REPORTING.
FUND ACCOUNTING
• NPE CONTINUE TO USE FUNDS FOR INTERNAL CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT.
• FUND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES PROVIDE A CONVENIENT METHOD FOR SEGREGATING THE ACCOUNTING
RECORDS OF RESOURCES RESTRICTED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES.
• MANY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE TO USE FUND ACCOUNTING FOR INTERNAL
ACCOUNTING
- ALTHOUGH FASB ISSUANCES AND THE AICPA GUIDE DO NOT REQUIRE FUND ACCOUNTING
• ALTHOUGH GAAP ALLOWS FUND REPORTING AS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, FUND INFO IS RARELY
PRESENTED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NONGOVERNMENTAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
VOLUNTARY HEALTH AND
WELFARE ORGANIZATION (VHWO)
■ An organization formed for the purpose of performing voluntary services for
various segments of society.
■ Promote humanitarian activities
■ Depends on donation
Revenues/ Contributions
Revenues are recorded using the full accrual basis. A distinction should
be made between Public Support and Revenues.
The dependence upon which public support for the majority of its
resources influences the accounting for a VHWO. Two major categories
are used to record and communicate inflows of resources: public support
and revenues.
■ Public Support is the inflow of resources from voluntary donors who
receive no direct, personal benefit from the organizations usual
programs in exchange for their contributions.
The following accounts are used to record
receipts of assets in the public support category:
■ Contributions
■ Special Events Support
■ Legacies and Bequests
■ Proceeds from fund raisers.
Contributions are recognized as public support in the period
received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses
depending on the form of the benefits received. Although most
contributions to VHWOs are made with no restrictions
attached. Some donations specify the purpose for which they
must be expended.
