Statement of Activities (NFP)
NFP financial statements look nothing like for-profit statements — no retained earnings, no income statement. AICPA tests whether you know which statements are required (statement of financial position, activities, and cash flows) and what goes where. The trap: candidates forget that NFPs must present functional expense information either on the face of the statements or in notes.
What AICPA Wants You to Know
- 1Describe the overall structure of the NFP statement of activities
- 2Classify revenues as with or without donor restrictions and explain how restrictions are released
- 3Distinguish between program services and supporting activities in expense presentation
- 4Apply the three required disclosures about liquidity and availability of resources
- 5Explain how investment returns are reported on the statement of activities
