Statement of Cash Flows (NFP)
Exam Insight
Contributions are the heart of NFP accounting - and the hardest part. AICPA's favorite trap: a donor gives cash 'for the new building.' Is that with donor restriction or without? It depends on whether the restriction is purpose-based or time-based. Board-designated funds look restricted but are legally unrestricted. Know those distinctions or you'll misclassify net assets on every question.
