Description

Revenue recognition standard Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 and clarifications in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-08, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), offer guidance for accountants in recording contributions, and distinguishing between reciprocal (exchange) and nonreciprocal (contribution). A contribution must be further classified as unconditional or conditional and classified as unrestricted or restricted. For an exchange transaction, donor stipulated conditions can preclude the recognition of the contribution as revenue. These determinations are critical and not always simple.

With amendments effective in 2019 or 2020, depending on whether contributions are received or made, practitioners are trying to implement the new requirements effectively. Accountants need to understand the new standards to implement the changes effectively. Implementation will depend on how these transactions were classified in the past.

Listen as our panel discusses their approaches and best practices in this vital area of nonprofit accounting.
