You can count on Steward Ingram & Cooper PLLC for financial statement services that include audits, reviews, and compilation.

Non-Profit Financial Statements

Financial reports for nonprofit entities may look different from those for regular for-profit businesses. This is because they have a unique set of rules. A non-profit financial statement will include:

Statement of Financial Position

This provides an overview of your organization’s financial state and is equivalent to a balance sheet. A nonprofit’s assets can include grants receivable, promises to give, restricted cash, and beneficial interests among other pieces of information.

The equity section of a nonprofit financial statement will include net assets with and without restrictions. Net assets without restrictions can also include board designations. Net assets with restrictions are restricted by a donor for a certain purpose, or for use over a specific time.

Statement of Activities

The state of activities shows the change in net assets for the year. If you have donor-restricted contributions, it may be more complex. Contributions are recorded with or without restrictions based on the presence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. When donor restrictors expire, or the purpose has been fulfilled, you will see a reclassification in the statement of activities as net assets are released from restrictions.

Statement of Functional Expenses

The statement of functional expenses lists expenses by their natural category and function. These three main functions are:

  • Program Services
  • Management and General
  • Fundraising

Dividing costs allows the auditors or board members to see where the money is going. It will also determine if there are any areas where the expenses are out of balance.

Statement of Cash Flows

The statement of cash flows divides cash flow into three sections, including:

  • Operating activities
  • Investing activities
  • Financing activities

By looking at these activities, a non-profit can see how cash is flowing in and out of the organization.
