Study Notes
Non-profit Organizations
- Non-profit organizations are those that don't aim for profit for owners
- They typically include charities and public service organizations
- Examples include sports clubs, social clubs, drama societies, and music clubs
- These organizations may raise funds to improve facilities for members
- Ownership is distributed among all members, not a single person or partnership
- Records of income and expenditure are often managed by a member, not a trained bookkeeper
Non-profit vs. Trading Business
- Trading Business: Uses accounts like capital, cash book, trading account (gross profit), income statement, statement of financial position, profit for the year, loss for the year, trade receivables, and trade payables
- Non-Trading Business: Uses accounts like accumulated funds, receipts and payments, activity trading, income statement, statement of financial position, surplus (income > expenditure), deficit (expenditure > income), subscriptions in arrears, and subscriptions in advance
Income and Expenditure Account
- An account used to determine if a non-profit organization has a surplus or deficit (equivalent of SOPL in trading businesses)
- Surplus of Income over Expenditure: When income is higher than expenditure, similar to profit in trading businesses
- Deficit of Expenditure over Income: When expenditure is higher than income, similar to loss in trading businesses
- Accumulated Fund: Equivalent to capital in a non-trading business
- Receipts and Payments Account: The bank account for the non-profit organization
Important Terms
- Donations: Crucial to non-profit organizations; they're received in two ways:
- Specific Donation: Donated for a particular purpose (capital receipt)
- General Donation: Unrestricted donation (revenue receipt)
- Legacy: Monies received from a donor's will; treated as a capital receipt, not income
- Life Membership: One-time payment for lifetime membership; usually spread over multiple years into the income statement
- Subscriptions: Money members pay to join a club or society; a primary source of income for non-profits.
- Entrance Fees: One-time payment, often viewed as a capital receipt because it's not recurring
Receipts and Payments Account
- Tracks all cash transactions for a specific period.
- Includes opening and closing bank balances
Income and Expenditure Account
- Calculates subscriptions earned
- Calculates entrance fees and life membership fees
- Calculates income from other activities (e.g., events)
- Calculates expenses.
Differences Between Receipts and Payments and Income and Expenditure Accounts
- Receipts and Payments: Like a cash book; includes both capital and revenue items, but ignores outstanding items.
- Income and Expenditure: Like an income statement; ignores credit sales and purchases, but includes prepaid items.
Accumulated Fund
- The difference between assets and liabilities of a non-profit organization
- A measure of the organization's net assets
- Accumulated funds arise from accumulated surpluses in previous years
Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet)
- Details a non-profit organization's assets, liabilities, and capital
- Assets include land, buildings, machinery, vehicles, inventory, and cash
- Liabilities include subscriptions received in advance, trade payables, and other payables.
- Capital/accumulated fund is the difference between total assets and total liabilities
