Statement of Activities (NFP)
Exam Insight
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.
