How does your not-for-profit (NFP) evaluate financial performance? Of all the financial statements, the statement of activities is among the most useful to an NFP's managers and constituents. The statement of activities reports revenues, gains, expenses, and losses for the period. It is a useful tool in assessing an NFP's service efforts and its ability to continue to provide services to sustainably carry out its mission.

There are numerous ways in which an NFP's statement of activities differs from the income statement of a for-profit business. For example, to properly present revenues and gains, one will need to understand how donor-imposed stipulations affect classification.

This CPE course offers you detail-rich interpretations and case studies that will help you learn to prepare an NFP's statement of activities.
