In recent years, not-for-profits have applied critical new standards related to contributions of nonfinancial assets, leases, and more. However, with all the focus on the new stuff, have we forgotten any of the old stuff? FASB ASC 958 has a great deal to say about various accounting and reporting issues in the form of its implementation guidance and illustrations. Not knowing this guidance can result in lost time and erroneous applications of GAAP. In this course, we will review some of the most critical illustrative not-for-profit guidance issued by the FASB.
