AFAR 20 (Not For Profit Organizations)
CPA Review Batch 43 May 2022 CPA Licensure Examination Weeks 16-17
Classification
The organization’s net assets, revenue, expenses, gains, and losses are classified according to the three classes of net assets.
This division of net assets into unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted classifications is the core of the
financial statement presentations for not-for-profit entities.
Two major sources of revenues in Not-for-Profit Organization:
1. Contributions, and
2. Regular type of revenue such as tuition fee for schools and universities, patient service revenue for hospitals, membership
dues, sales of publications and supplies and program service fees such as advising for voluntary health and welfare
organization
➢ Only contributions are subject to RESTRICTION since they are imposed by the donor, while the regular
type of revenue is unrestricted or even though restricted but made by the board of trustees it is
still classified as unrestricted since the board can lift anytime such restriction.
➢ Contributions are considered as non-exchange transactions which may include cash, securities, land and
buildings. It also includes noncash items or gifts in kind such as free or discounted use of facilities or utilities,
donated materials and supplies, intangible assets, and services of unpaid workers.
➢ Exceptions to the general recognition provision are made for contributions of services and donated
works of art.
➢ Donated services are recognized only, if they:
1. Create or enhance nonfinancial assets, or
2. Require specialize skills, are provided by individuals possessing those abilities and typically would have to
be purchased if not provided by donation.
All of these items are recorded at fair value at the date of the gift or donations were made. In the case of
noncash gifts, a corresponding expense is recorded.
➢ Revenues, gains and losses can be reported in each net asset class, but expenses are reported only in
the UNRESTRICTED NET ASSSETS CLASS.
Financial Statements
Not-for-Profit Organizations provides a set of financial statements that includes:
a. Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet),
b. Statement of Activities,
c. Statement of Cash Flows, and
d. Accompanying notes.
Voluntary Health and Welfare Organization also must provide a Statement of Functional Expenses. This statement
reports expenses by both function (program and supporting) and by their natural classification (salaries expense, depreciation
expenses, etc.)
However, Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organization, the basic financial statements for
HOSPITAL includes:
a. Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet),
b. Statement of Operations (or Statement of Activities)
c. Statement of Changes in Net Assets, and
d. Statement of cash flows
The goal of the reporting requirements is to establish consistent standards for reporting basic information for the
organization as a whole.
9. A major corporation makes a donation of $10,000,000 to the local art museum foundation for the construction of a new art
museum provided the community can match the $10,000,000 with other donations. This is an example of a(n):

Private Universities/Colleges
Accounting for Revenues:
Private Universities and Colleges had three major groups or revenues:
Educational and general revenues group, with accounts for:
➢ Student tuition fees; Government appropriations; Government grants and contracts; Gifts and private grants;
Endowment income
➢ Other sources
Auxiliary enterprises revenues – includes amounts earned in providing facilities and services to faculty, staff, and
students, charges for residence halls, food services, intercollegiate, student unions, dormitories, as well as sales and
receipts from college stores, barber shops, movie houses, etc.
Expired term endowments – arising from reclassification of temporary restricted to unrestricted.
Accounting for Expenses:
Educational and general revenues group with accounts for instructions, research, public support, academic support,
student services, institutional support, operation and maintenance of plant and student aid expenditures.
Auxiliary enterprises expenses – these are related to auxiliary enterprise revenues.
Fund Groups – universities / colleges use these fund “groups” and major fund group “subdivisions”;
Fund Groups Major Subdivisons
1. Current Funds a..Current fund – unrestricted
b..Current fund – restricted
2. Loan Funds
3. Endowment and Similar Funds a..Endowment Funds (“pure”)

d..Investment in Plant Fund
6. Agency Funds
3. Quasi-endowment Fund – differs from endowment fund is that the restriction are imposed by the
institution’s board of trustees and not an outside grantor or donor .
Thus, quasi-endowment funds are unrestricted because any restrictions are imposed by the board of trustees:
➢ Principal (corpus) is expendable
➢ Income (dividend or interest) is expendable for current operations.
Annuity and Life Income Funds
1. Annuity Funds – to account for resources acquired under the condition that the college or university make
stipulated periodic payments to individuals as provided by the agreement with the donor.
2. Life Income Fund – to account for funds contributed to the college or university under the requirement that the
income (interest or dividend) be paid (usually until death) to a designated beneficiary.
Plant Funds
1. Unexpended Plant Fund contains assets set aside for the future acquisition of a college’s /universities plant
assets.
2. Fund for Renewals and Replacement contains assets set aside for the renewals and replacements of a college’s
/universities existing plant assets.
3. Fund for Retirement of Indebtedness contains assets set aside for the retirement of college’s/universities long-
term indebtedness.
4. Investment in Plant Fund - accounts for the funds already spent and thus represents the investment in plant
assets except for investments in plant assets held in endowment and annuity and life income funds. This fund
contain liabilities related to the plant assets carried in this fund, namely, accounts payable, notes payable, and
mortgages payable.

graduate student’s tuition at the standard rate and then records the tuition remission as an expense of the
year in which the graduate student is a teaching assistant.
• Tuition and fee reimbursements for withdrawals from coursework. Students withdrawing from classes
after the beginning of the class term may be able to collect a reimbursement or return of some of the tuition and
fees paid at the beginning of the term. Colleges and universities account for these reimbursement or return of
some of the tuition and fees paid at the beginning of the term. Colleges and universities account for these
reimbursements of tuition and fees as a reduction of REVENUE . When the check to the student is
approved, the university debits revenue from tuition and fee reimbursements and credits cash or
accounts payable.

Hospitals / Health Care Providers
The funds used by hospitals and other health care providers for accounting purposes are slightly different from those used by
colleges and universities.
General Fund is an unrestricted fund used to account for the day-to-day operations of a health care provider, and it may
be used by the governing board for any designated purpose other than restricted resources imposed by grantors and donors . The
general fund used by a hospital or other health care provider is similar to the current fund – unrestricted used by a college
or a university.
1. Assets whose use is limited include assets set aside by the governing board for identified purpose.
2. Agency Funds are included in General Funds as both an asset and a liability. Although not prescribed as a fund
for hospital accounting, an agency fund may be used by hospitals to account for fees collected as an agent for
physicians who have private-practice patients coming to hospital offices provided to the staff physicians. The hospital
would remit the fees collected to the physicians less charges for rental and administrative costs.
3. Property and equipment used for general operations, and the related liabilities, are reported in General
Funds.
Property and equipment whose use is restricted (e.g., real estate investments of Endowment Funds) are reported
in the appropriate donor-restricted fund.
Donor-Restricted Funds
1. Temporary restricted fund may be a specific purpose fund, a term-endowment fund, or a plant replacement and
expansion fund. An annuity and life income fund similar to that of colleges and universities may also be included as
a temporarily restricted fund.
a. Specific Purpose Fund is a restricted fund used by health care providers to account for principal and income in
accordance with donor’s specified restrictions. A specific purpose fund is very similar to the current fund – restricted
used by colleges and universities.
b. Endowment Fund is used by a hospital to account for a trust where the principal must be kept intact and the
income be expended for either current operations or a specific purpose in accordance with the grantor’s wishes . An
endowment fund for a hospital is very similar to endowment fund for colleges and universities.
The endowment may be in perpetuity, or it may be a fixed term or until a specific event occurs.
An endowment fund that is for fixed term is known as a term endowment fund. At the end of its life, the
principal in the term endowment fund is transferred to another restricted fund – a specific purpose fund, a plant
replacement fund and expansion fund, or the general fund – in accordance with the donor’s wishes.
c. Plant Replacement and Expansion Fund is a restricted fund used by hospitals and other health care providers
to account for a donor’s contributions that must be used to acquire property, plant and equipment (PPE).
2. Permanently Restricted Fund is also an endowment fund, but differs from a term-endowment fund is that
the principal must be maintained intact in perpetuity and only the income may be used in accordance with the
donor’s wishes.

Items 23 through 26 are based on the following information pertaining to GNC Hospital for the year ended May
31, 20x5:
In March 20x5, a P300,000 unrestricted bequest an a P500,000 pure endowment grant were received. In April 20x5, a bank
notified GNC that the bank received P10,000 to be held in permanent trust by the bank. GNC is to receive the income from this
donation.
23. GNC should generally record the P300,000 unrestricted bequest as:
a. A nonoperating gain/revenue c. A direct credit to the fund balance
b. Other revenue d. A credit to operating expenses
24. The P500,000 pure endowment grant:

Expenses are classified as program services and supporting services and are reported on a functional basis
under these classifications.

Supporting services consist of administrative expenses and fund-raising costs.
In reporting expenses in the statement of activities, the functional classifications might appear as follows:
Expenses
Program Services
Research; Public Education; Professional Education; Community Services
Supporting Services
Management and general; Fund-raising
Expenses are recorded on a full accrual basis in a manner similar to that used by business organizations.
Expenses are recorded in each fund that incurs the expenses.
2. Current Fund – Restricted. This fund is used for operations, but only in accordance with a donor or grantor’s
specifications.
