Nonprofit Accounting

Top
Accounting policies, procedures, and techniques employed by nonprofit organizations . Nonprofit accounting is somewhat different for governmental units than for nongovernmental units (i.e., colleges, hospitals, voluntary health and welfare organizations, and charities). Governmental units employ fund accounting, which measures accountability rather than profitability.
The modified accrual basis is typically employed by governmental funds. Nongovernmental units use the accrual basis.
