Notes to the Financial Statements (NFP)

Exam Insight

NFP disclosures under ASU 2016-14 are heavily tested - especially liquidity, availability of resources, and functional expense allocation. The trap: candidates forget that 'availability' is not the same as total assets - it's financial assets minus amounts not available within one year. If you see an NFP question about a 60-day liquidity window, that's exactly what they're testing.
