Generally, since there is no standard for accounting and financial reporting for associations, it's a good idea to handle your reserves in such a way so that the membership can easily understand the position of reserves on the balance sheet.

Here's a format that works for many associations:
**Reserve funds listed according to the purpose of the fund, such as

  • Insurance Fund
  • Special Projects Fund
  • Replacement Fund
  • (Other Title) Fund
All reserve funds are listed in the Assets section of the balance sheet as positive numbers.

As well, some balance sheets show three columns: current, prior month and change. This way members can understand how each month's contribution grows each fund.

Finally, you can list (detailed) fund equity YTD in the liabilities and equity section of the balance sheet, as negative numbers. Of course, the current month column in both assets and equity/ liability must be equal to each other.

What is the accounting entry for booking homeowners association restricted reserves?

Read your governing documents to determine how 'restricted reserves' are treated as accounts. Often, and state laws can dictate -- that 'restricted reserves' are mandated to be kept in separate accounts, in a bank, for example. Whether these are 'maintenance reserves' , 'capital reserves' or 'insurance deductible reserves', your chart of accounts should differentiate (each of) them from the association's operating account.
