12. Net Asset Classification

classes of net assets:
• Net Assets With Donor Restrictions
• Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions
Unrestricted Temporarily
Restricted
Permanently
Restricted
Without
Donor
Restrictions
With
Donor
Restrictions

13. Net Asset Classification
• Enhanced disclosure requirements
• Disclosures for board-imposed limits on the use of net assets without donor
restrictions (Quantitative and Qualitative)
• Composition of net assets with donor/grantor restrictions
• Emphasis on how/when net assets can be used (purpose, time, perpetual)
• Highlight how restrictions impact the use of available resources.

14. Net Asset Classification
• Underwater Endowment Funds
• If a donor-restricted endowment fund is determined to be underwater, the
accumulated losses shall be included together with that fund in net assets
with donor restrictions.
• Additional required disclosures
• Board’s policy for spending from endowment funds that are underwater
• Board’s interpretation of relevant law
• Fair value of funds
• Original gift amount
• Level required to be maintained by either the donor or the law

15. Investment Return
• Presented on a net basis, with all external and direct internal
investment management and custodial expenses netted against the
return.
• Show one line “Investment return” or “Income from Investments”
• Eliminates the current requirement to disclose the investment
income components and expenses separately.
• More comparable measure of investment return across all
not-for-profit organizations.

16. Investment Return
• Internal expenses include the direct conduct or direct supervision of
the strategic and tactical activities involved in generating investment
return
• Salaries, benefits, travel and other costs associated with staff responsible for
development and execution of investment strategy, including supervision,
selecting and monitoring external managers.
• Excludes costs not associated with generating investment return, such as
administrative management, contracts, pooled-fund administration.
• Programmatic investments are excluded.

17. Functional Expenses
• Requirement for all not-for-profit organizations to presents
expenses by both the natural and functional classifications
• Natural: Salary, Rent, Office Supplies, etc.
• Functional: Program, Mgt & General, and Fundraising
• Required to be presented in one location:
• Statement of Activities
• Separate Statement (Statement of Functional Expenses)
• Notes to the Financial Statements

18. Functional Expenses - Example
FASB Expects most
organizations (other
than healthcare) to
present on the face.
More than one
category of program
expenses would be
common!

19. Functional Expenses
• Include a description of the method(s) used to allocate costs among program and
support functions.
• When to Allocate Mgt & General:
• Activities that represent direct conduct or direct supervision of program or other
supporting activities to those program. Examples:
• IT – benefits various functions and generally would be allocated.
• CEO – Program, Mgt & General, and Fundraising
• CFO – Mgt & General and Investment Expense
• HR – Generally would assign all to Mgt & General
• Grant Accounting/Reporting – program reports would be Program, but financial reports
would be Mgt & General

20. Functional Expenses
Which Function?
• Salary of an administrative assistant
• Cost of designing, printing and mailing the annual report
• Cost of the audit
• Salary of the development director
• Salary of grant writer who solicits restricted contributions for program activities
• Rent of the office facility

21. Liquidity & Availability of Resources
• Assist readers of the financial statements in determining:
• Available resources
• Management of liquidity
• Liquidity risk
• Objective is to clearly present a not-for-profit organization’s
ability to operate.

22. Liquidity & Availability of Resources
• Quantitative information about the availability of financial assets
as of the date of the statement of financial position.
• Availability may be affected by: Nature of the assets, external limits, and
internal limits.
• Qualitative information about how a not-for-profit organization
manages its available resources to meet cash needs within one year
of the date of the statement of financial position.

23. Statement of Cash Flows
• Free choice between using the direct or indirect method of reporting
operating cash flows.
• If using the direct method, nonprofit organizations are not required
to also present the indirect method reconciliation, as currently
required.
• Certain original proposed changes were deferred to Phase 2
(reclassification among types of activities and improved alignment
with the statement of activities)

35. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements to maintain consistency between
periods presented. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net assets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
On August 18, 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-14, Not-for-
Profit Entities (Topic 958) – Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities.
The update addresses the complexity and understandability of net asset classification,
deficiencies in information about liquidity and availability of resources, and the lack of
consistency in the type of information provided about expenses and investment return.
We have implemented ASU 2016-14 and have adjusted the presentation in these
consolidated financial statements accordingly. The ASU has been applied retrospectively
to all periods presented which increased net assets without donor restrictions by $42,677
and decreased net asset with donor restrictions by $42,677 resulting from the
reclassifications of underwater endowment funds as required under ASU 2016-14.]
NEW PRESENTATION –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

36. Note 3 - Functional Expenses
The financial statements report certain categories of expenses that are
attributable to one or more program or supporting functions of the Organization.
Those expenses include depreciation, executive salaries and benefits,
administrative and professional fees and supplies expense. Depreciation is
allocated based on a square footage basis, executive salaries and benefits are
allocated based upon the estimates of time and effort, administrative and
professional fees are allocated based on the benefit received and supplies is
allocated based on estimates of specific usage of supplies.

Note 4 – Liquidity and Availability
Financial assets available for general expenditures, that is, without donor or other
restrictions limiting their use, within one year of the balance sheet dates, comprise the
following:
Cash $ 1,351,000
Accounts Receivable, net 420,000
Total Financial Assets $ 1,771,000
As part of ABC Company’s liquidity management, it has a policy to structure its
financial assets to be available as its general expenditures, liabilities, and
other obligations come due. To help manage unanticipated liquidity needs, ABC
Company has committed lines of credit in the amount of $200,000, which it could draw
upon as further disclosed in Note 7.
Note: Cash = $1,400,000 from
balance sheet less $49,000 of
funds restricted in perpetuity.
