Not-for-Profit Income Webinar (Day 2) - Applying And Documenting The Standards
Confusion and challenging are words we associate with the accounting standards on Not-for-profit income, even though it is 2 years since they became mandatory. Financial statement preparers and auditor’s express frustration at the time they take to apply the rules and resolve differences in views. It can be difficult to match the contents of grants with the language of the standards. Reviews of statements lodged with the ACNC show plenty of organisations are not on top of their revenue and grant accounting.
Description
Part two of the workshop includes a deep dive into a new template, which all attendees will be able to download and use in their day-to-day practice. The template works through a series of questions which assists the user to record entity decisions, judgements, and estimates. This creates necessary accounting records, saving significant time in preparing accurate accounts in future years.
