The main characteristics of not-for-profit organisations are that they aim to provide services without profit motive, they are usually organised as trusts/societies, their affairs are managed by committees elected by members, and their sole aim is to provide services at low or no cost.

The main sources of income for not-for-profit organisations are subscriptions from members, donations, legacies, grants-in-aid, and income from investments.

here are certain organisations which are set up


for providing service to its members and the
public in general. Such organisations include clubs,
charitable institutions, schools, religious
organisations, trade unions, welfare societies and
societies for the promotion of art and culture. These
organisations have service as the main objective and
not the profit as is the case of organisations in
business. Normally, these organisations do not
undertake any business activity, and are managed
by trustees who are fully accountable to their
members and the society for the utilization of the
funds raised for meeting the objectives of the
organisation. Hence, they also have to maintain
proper accounts and prepare the financial statement
which take the form of Receipt and Payment
Account; Income and Expenditure Account; and
Balance Sheet. at the end of for every accounting
period (normally a financial year).
This is also a legal requirement and helps them
to keep track of their income and expenditure, the
nature of which is different from those of the business
organisations. In this chapter we shall learn about
the accounting aspects relating to not-for-profit
organisation.
1.1 Meaning and Characteristics of Not-for-Profit
Organisation
Not-for -Profit Organisations refer to the
organisations that are for used for the welfare of the
society and are set up as charitable institutions

which function without any profit motive. Their main aim is to provide service to a
specific group or the public at large. Normally, they do not manufacture, purchase or
sell goods and may not have credit transactions. Hence they need not maintain
many books of account (as the trading concerns do) and Trading and Profit and Loss
Account. The funds raised by such organisations are credited to capital fund or
general fund. The major sources of their income usually are subscriptions from their
members donations, grants-in-aid, income from investments, etc. The main objective
of keeping records in such organisations is to meet the statutory requirement and
help them in exercising control over utilisation of their funds. They also have to prepare
the financial statements at the end of each accounting period (usually a financial
year) and ascertain their income and expenditure and the financial position, and
submit them to the statutory authority called Registrar of Societies.
The main characteristics of such organisations are:
1. Such organisations are formed for providing service to a specific group or
public at large such as education, health care, recreation, sports and so on
without any consideration of caste, creed and colour. Its sole aim is to provide
service either free of cost or at nominal cost, and not to earn profit.
2. These are organised as charitable trusts/societies and subscribers to
such organisation are called members.
3. Their affairs are usually managed by a managing/executive committee
elected by its members.
4. The main sources of income of such organisations are: (i) subscriptions
from members, (ii) donations, (iii) legacies, (iv) grant-in-aid, (v) income
from investments, etc.
5. The funds raised by such organisations through various sources are
credited to capital fund or general fund.
6. The surplus generated in the form of excess of income over expenditure
is not distributed amongst the members. It is simply added in the
capital fund.
7. The Not-for-Profit Organisations earn their reputation on the basis of
their contributions to the welfare of the society rather than on the
customers or owners satisfaction.
8. The accounting information provided by such organisations is meant for
the present and potential contributors and to meet the statutory requirement.
1.2 Accounting Records of Not-for-Profit Organisations
As stated earlier, normally such organisations are not engaged in any trading
or business activities. The main sources of their income are subscriptions from
members, donations, financial assistance from government and income from
investments. Most of their transactions are in cash or through the bank. These

2015-16

institutions are required by law to keep proper accounting records and keep
proper control over the utilization of their funds. This is why they usually keep
a cash book in which all receipts and payments are duly recorded. They also
maintain a ledger containing the accounts of all incomes, expenses, assets
and liabilities which facilitates the preparation of financial statements at the
end of the accounting period. In addition, they are required to maintain a stock
register to keep complete record of all fixed assets and the consumables.
They do not maintain any capital account. Instead they maintain capital
fund which is also called general fund that goes on accumulating due to
surpluses generated, life membership fee, donation, legacies, etc. received
from year to year. In fact, a proper system of accounting is desirable to avoid
or minimise the chances of misappropriations or embezzlement of the funds
contributed by the members and other donors.
Final Accounts or Financial Statements: The Not-for-Profit Organisations are also
required to prepare financial statements at the end of the each accounting period.
Although these organisations are non-profit making entities and they are not required
to make Trading and Profit & Loss Account but it is necessary to know whether the
income during the year was sufficient to meet the expenses or not. Not only that
they have to provide the necessary financial information to members, donors, and
contributors and also to the Registrar of Societies. For this purpose, they have to
prepare their final accounts at the end of the accounting period and the general
principles of accounting are fully applicable in their preparation as stated earlier,
the final accounts of a not-for-profit organisation consist of the following:
(i) Receipt and Payment Account
(ii) Income and Expenditure Account, and
(iii) Balance Sheet.
The Receipt and Payment Account is the summary of cash and bank
transactions which helps in the preparation of Income and Expenditure Account
and the Balance Sheet. Besides, it is a legal requirement as the Receipts and
Payments Account has also to be submitted to the Registrar of Societies along
with the Income and Expenditure Account, and the Balance Sheet.
Income and Expenditure Account is akin to Profit and Loss Account. The
Not-for-Profit Organisations usually prepare the Income and Expenditure
Account and a Balance Sheet with the help of Receipt and Payment Account.
However, this does not imply that they do not make a trial balance. In order to
check the accuracy of the ledger accounts, they also prepare a trial balance
which facilitates the preparation of accurate Receipt and Payment Account as
well as the Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet.
In fact, if an organisation has followed the double entry system they must
prepare a trial balance for checking the accuracy of the ledger accounts and it
will also facilitate the preparation of Receipt and Payment account. Income
and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet.

1.3 Receipt and Payment Account


It is prepared at the end of the accounting year on the basis of cash receipts and
cash payments recorded in the cash book. It is a summary of cash and bank
transactions under various heads. For example, subscriptions received from the
members on different dates which appear on the debit side of the cash book, shall
be shown on the receipts side of the Receipt and Payment Account as one item
with its total amount. Similarly, salary, rent, electricity charges paid from time to
time as recorded on the credit side of the cash book but the total salary paid, total
rent paid, total electricity charges paid during the year appear on the payment
side of the Receipt and Payment Account. Thus, Receipt and Payment Account
gives summarised picture of various receipts and payments, irrespective of whether
they pertain to the current period, previous period or succeeding period or whether
they are of capital or revenue nature. It may be noted that this account does not
show any non cash item like depreciation. The opening balance in Receipt and
Payment Account represents cash in hand/cash at bank which is shown on its
receipts side and the closing balance of this account represents cash in hand and
bank balance as at the end of the year, which appear on the credit side of the
Receipt and Payment Account. However, if it is bank overdraft at the end it shall
be shown on its debit side as the last item. Let us look at the cash book of Golden
Cricket Club given in the example to show how the total amount of each item of
receipt and payment has been worked out.

Fig. 1.1: Format of Receipt and Payment Account

There will be either of the two amounts i.e., each at bank or bank overdraft, not both.

It may be noted that the receipts side of the Receipt and Payment Account gives a
list of revenue receipts (for past, current and future periods) as well as capital receipts.
Similarly, the payments side of the Receipts and Payments Account lists the Revenue
Payments (for past, current and future periods) as well as Capital Payments.
1.3.1 Salient Features
1. It is a summary of the cash book. Its form is identical with that of simple
cash book (without discount and bank columns) with debit and credit
sides. Receipts are recorded on the debit side while payments are entered
on the credit side.
2. It shows the total amounts of all receipts and payments irrespective of
the period to which they pertain . For example, in the Receipt and Payment
account for the year ending on March 31, 2015, we record the total
subscriptions received during 201415 including the amounts related
to the years 20132014 and 2015-2016. Similarly, taxes paid during
201415 even if they relate to the years 201314 and 20152016.
3. It includes all receipts and payments whether they are of capital nature
or of revenue nature.
4. No distinction is made in receipts/payments made in cash or through
bank. With the exception of the opening and closing balances, the total
amount of each receipt and payment is shown in this account.
5. No non-cash items such as depreciation outstanding expenses accrued
income, etc. are shown in this account.
6. It begins with opening balance of cash in hand and cash at bank (or
bank overdraft) and closes with the year end balance of cash in hand/
cash at bank or bank overdraft. In fact, the closing balance in this
account (difference between the total amount of receipts and payments)
which is usually a debit balance reflects cash in hand and cash at bank
unless there is a bank overdraft.

Accountancy Not-for-Profit Organisation and Partnership Accounts

1.3.2 Steps in the preparation of Receipt and Payment Account


1. Take the opening balances of cash in hand and cash at bank and enter
them on the debit side. In case there is bank overdraft at the begining of
the year, enter the same on the credit side of this account.
2. Show the total amounts of all receipts on its debit side irrespective of
their nature (whether capital or revenue) and whether they pertain to
past, current and future periods.
3. Show the total amounts of all payments on its credit side irrespective of
their nature (whether capital or revenue) and whether they pertain to
past, current and future periods.
4. None of the receivable income and payable expense is to be entered in
this account as they do not involve inflow or outflow of cash.
5. Find out the difference between the total of debit side and the total of
credit side of the account and enter the same on the credit side as the
closing balance of cash/bank. In case, however, the total of the credit
side is more than that of the total of the debit side, show the difference on
the debit as bank overdraft and close the account.

book given in example 1, at page 4, the Receipt and Payment Account of Golden

1.4 Income and Expenditure Account


It is the summary of income and expenditure for the accounting year. It is just
like a profit and loss account prepared on accrual basis in case of the business
organisations. It includes only revenue items and the balance at the end
represents surplus or deficit. The Income and Expenditure Account serves
the same purpose as the profit and loss account of a business organisation
does. All the revenue items relating to the current period are shown in this
account, the expenses and losses on the expenditure side and incomes and
gains on the income side of the account. It shows the net operating result in
the form of surplus (i.e. excess of income over expenditure) or deficit (i.e. excess
of expenditure over income), which is transferred to the capital fund shown in
the balance sheet.
The Income and Expenditure Account is prepared on accrual basis with the
help of Receipts and Payments Account along with additional information
regarding outstanding and prepaid expenses and depreciation etc. Hence, many
items appearing in the Receipts and Payments need to be adjusted. For example,
as shown in Example 1, (Page No. 10) subscription amount of Rs.2, 65,000 received
during the year 2014-15 appearing on the receipts side of the Receipt and Payment
Account includes receipts for the periods other than the current period. But the
subscription amount of Rs. 2,25,000 pertaining to the current year only will be
shown as income in Income and Expenditure Account for the year 2014-15.

Following steps may be helpful in preparing an Income and Expenditure Account
from a given Receipt and Payment Account:
1. Persue the Receipt and Payment Account thoroughly.
2. Exclude the opening and closing balances of cash and bank as they
are not an income.
3. Exclude the capital receipts and capital payments as these are to be
shown in the Balance Sheet.
4. Consider only the revenue receipts to be shown on the income side of
Income and Expenditure Account. Some of these need to be adjusted by
excluding the amounts relating to the preceding and the succeeding
periods and including the amounts relating to the current year not yet
received.
5. Take the revenue expenses to the expenditure side of the Income and
Expenditure Account with due adjustments as per the additional
information provided relating to the amounts received in advance and
those not yet received.
6. Consider the following items not appearing in the Receipt and Payment
Account that need to be taken into account for determining the surplus/
deficit for the current year :
(a) Depreciation of fixed assets.
(b) Provision for doubtful debts, if required.
(c) Profit or loss on sale of fixed assets.
Now you will observe how the income and expenditure account is prepared
from the receipts and payments account given in example 1, on page 10.

1.5 Balance Sheet


Not-for-Profit Organisations prepare Balance Sheet for ascertaining the financial
position of the organisation. The preparation of their Balance Sheet is on the same
pattern as that of the business entities. It shows assets and liabilities as at the end
of the year. Assets are shown on the right hand side and the liabilities on the left
hand side. However, there will be a Capital Fund or General Fund in place of the
Capital and the surplus or deficit as per Income and Expenditure Account which
is either added to/deducted from the capital fund, as the case may be. It is also
a common practice to add some of the capitalised items like legacies, entrance
fees and life membership fees directly in the capital fund.
Besides the Capital or General Fund, there may be other funds created for
specific purposes or to meet the requirements of the contributors/donors such
as building fund, sports fund, etc. Such funds are shown separately in the
liabilities side of the balance sheet.
Some times it becomes necessary to prepare Balance Sheet as at the beginning
of the year in order to find out the opening balance of the capital/general fund.
1.5.1 Preparation of Balance Sheet
The following procedure is adopted to prepare the Balance Sheet:
1. Take the Capital/General Fund as per the opening balance sheet and
add surplus from the Income and Expenditure Account. Further, add
entrance fees, legacies, life membership fees, etc. received during the year.
2. Take all the fixed assets (not sold/discarded/or destroyed during the
year) with additions (from the Receipts and Payments account) after
charging depreciation (as per Income and Expenditure account) and show
them on the assets side.
3. Compare items on the receipts side of the Receipts and Payments Account
with income side of the Income and Expenditure Account. This is to
ascertain the amounts of: (a) subscriptions due but not yet received:
(b) incomes received in advance; (c) sale of fixed assets made during the
year; (d) items to be capitalised (i.e. taken directly to the Balance Sheet)
e.g. legacies, interest on specific fund investment and so on.
4. Similarly compare, items on the payments side of the Receipt and
Payment Account with expenditure side of the Income and
Expenditure Account. This is to ascertain the amounts if: (a)
outstanding expenses; (b) prepaid expenses; (c) purchase of a fixed
asset during the year; (d) depreciation on fixed assets; (e) stock of
consumable items like stationery in hand; (f) Closing balance of cash
in hand and cash at bank as, and so on.
A proforma Balance Sheet is given for the proper understanding of preparing
the balance sheet.

1.6 Some Peculiar Items


Final accounts of the Not-for-Profit organisations are prepared on the similar
pattern as that of a business orgnisation. However, a few items of income and
expenses of such orgnisations are somewhat different in nature and need special
attention in their treatment in final accounts. They are peculiar to these
orgnisations. Some of the common peculiar items are explained as under:
Subscriptions: Subscription is a membership fee paid by the member on annual
basis. This is the main source of income of such orgnisations. Subscription paid
by the members is shown as receipt in the Receipt and Payment Account and as
income in the Income and Expenditure Account. It may be noted that Receipt
and Payment Account shows the total amount of subscription actually received
during the year while the amount shown in Income and Expenditure Account is
confined to the figure related to the current period only irrespective of the fact
whether it has been received or not. For example, a club received Rs. 20,000 as
subscriptions during the year 2014-15 of which Rs.3,000 relate to year
2013-14 and Rs.2,000 to 2015-16, and at the end of the year 2014-15 Rs.6,000
are still receivable. In this case, the Receipt and Payment Account will show
Rs.20,000 as receipt from subscriptions. But the Income and Expenditure
Account will show Rs. 21,000 as income from subscriptions for the year
2014-15, the calculation of which is given as below:
Subscriptions received in 2014-15
Less: Subscriptions for the year 2013-14
Less: Subscription for the year 2015-16
Add: Subscriptions outstanding for the year 2014-15
Income from subscriptions for the year 2014-15

Account. Donation can be for specific purposes or for general purposes.
(i) Specific Donations: If donation received is to be utilised to achieve specified
purpose, it is called Specific Donation. The specific purpose can be an

2015-16

extension of the existing building, construction of new computer


laboratory, creation of a book bank, etc. Such donation is to be capitalised
and shown on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet irrespective of the
fact whether the amount is big or small. The intention is to utilise the
amount for the specified purpose only.
(ii) General Donations: Such donations are to be utilised to promote the
general purpose of the organisation. These are treated as revenue receipts
as it is a regular source of income hence, it is taken to the income side of
the Income and Expenditure Account of the current year.
Legacies: It is the amount received as per the will of a deceased person. It appears
on the receipts side of the Receipt and Payment Account and is directly added to
capital fund/general fund in the balance sheet, because it is not of recurring
nature. However, legacies of a small amount may be treated as income and shown
on the income side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Life Membership Fees: Some members prefer to pay lump sum amount as life
membership fee instead of paying periodic subscription. Such amount is treated
as capital receipt and credited directly to the capital/general fund.
Entrance Fees: Entrance fee also known as admission fee is paid only once by
the member at the time of becoming a member. In case of organisations like clubs
and some charitable institutions, is limited and the amount of entrance fees is
quite high. Hence, it is treated as non-recurring item and credited directly to
capital/general fund. However, for some organisations like educational institutions,
the entrance fees is a regular income and the amount involved may also be small.
In their case, it is customary to treat this item as a revenue receipt. However, if
there is specific instruction, it is advisable to treat the entire amount as capital
receipt and the relevant amount should be directly added to capital/general fund.
Sale of old asset: Receipts from the sale of an old asset appear in the Receipts
and Payments Account of the year in which it is sold. But any gain or loss on the
sale of asset is taken to the Income and Expenditure Account of the year. For
example, if an item furniture with a book value of Rs. 800 is sold for Rs. 700,
this amount of Rs. 700 will be shown as receipt in Receipts and Payments
Account and Rs. 100 on the expenditure side of the Income and Expenditure
Account as a loss on sale of old asset and while showing furniture in the balance
sheet Rs. 800 will be deducted from its total book value.
Sale of Periodicals: It is an item of recurring nature and shown as the income
side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Sale of Sports Materials: Sale of sports materials (used materials like old balls,
bats, nets, etc) is the regular feature with any Sports Club. It is usually shown
as an income in the Income and Expenditure Account.

Payments of Honorarium: It is the amount paid to the person who is not the
regular employee of the institution. Payment to an artist for giving performance
at the club is an example of honorarium. This payment of honorarium is shown
on the expenditure side of the Income and Expenditure Account.
Endowment Fund: It is a fund arising from a bequest or gift, the income of
which is devoted for a specific purpose. Hence, it is a capital receipt and shown
on the Liabilities side of the Balance Sheet as an item of a specific purpose fund.
Government Grant: Schools, colleges, public hospitals, etc. depend upon
government grant for their activities. The recurring grants in the form of
maintenance grant is treated as revenue receipt (i.e. income of the current year)
and credited to Income and Expenditure account. However, grants such as
building grant are treated as capital receipt and transferred to the building fund
account. It may be noted that some Not-for-Profit organisations receive cash
subsidy from the government or government agencies. This subsidy is also
treated as revenue income for the year in which it is received.
Special Funds
The Not-for-Profit Organisations office create special funds for certain purposes/
activities such as 'prize funds', 'match fund' and 'sports fund', etc. Such funds
are invested in securities and the income earned on such investments is added
to the respective fund, not credited to Income and Expenditure Account.
Similarly, the expenses incurred on such specific purposes are also deducted
from the special fund. For example, a club may maintain a special fund for
sports activities. In such a situation, the interest income on sports fund
investments is added to the sports fund and all expenses on sports deducted
therefrom. The special funds are shown in balance sheet. However, if, after
adjustment of income and expenses the balance in specific or special fund is
negative, it is transferred to the debit side of the Income and Expenditure
Account or adjusted as per prescribed directions. (see Illustrations 8 and 9.)

Note:
1. Income and Expenditure Account for the current year shows interest on
investment income Rs.6,800 while Receipts and Payments Account shows
the receipts of Rs.6,000 the difference of Rs.800 means interest on
investment has become due but not yet receivable during the year.
2. Income and Expenditure Account shows Rs.90,000 as income from Tuition
fees. However, the Receipts and Payments Account shows Rs.10,000 as
tuition fees received for the year 2015-16 and Rs.80,000 for 2014-15. It
implies that Rs.10,000 on account of tuition fees for the year 2014-15 are
still receivable (i.e. Tuition fees are outstanding).
3. Receipt and Payment Account shows a payment of Rs.85,000 on account of
staff salaries, but the Income and Expenditure Account shows expenditure

of Rs.84,000 on account of staff salaries. It means the excess of Rs.1,000


shown in the Receipt and Payment Account may either belong to the
pervious year or the next year. Their is no evidence that staff salaries of
Rs.1,000 was outstanding at the end of the previous year 2013-14. This is
why this payment of Rs.1,000 has been considered as an advance salaries
to the staff.

Summary
1. Difference between Profit Seeking Entities and Not-for-Profit Entities: Profit-seeking
entities undertake activities such as manufacturing trading, banking and
insurance to bring financial gain to the owners. Not-for-Profit entities exist to
provide services to the member or to the society at large. Such entities might
sometimes carry on trading activities but the profits arising therefrom are used
for further the service objectives.
2. Appreciation of the need for separate Accounting Treatment for Not-for-Profit
Organisations: Since not-for -profit entities ar e guided primarily by a service
motive, the decisions made by their managers are different from those made by
their counterparts in profit-seeking entities. Differences in the nature of
decisions implies that the financial information on which they are based, must
also be different in content and presentation.
3. Explanation of the nature of the Principal Financial Statements prepare by Not-forProfit enterprises: Not-for -Pr ofit Organisations that maintain accounts based
on the double-entry system of accounting, generally prepare three principal
statements to fulfil their information needs. These include Receipts and
Payments Account, Income and Expenditure Account, and a Balance Sheet.
The Receipts and Payments Account is a summarised cash book which records
all cash Receipts and cash Payments without distinguishing between capital
and revenue items, and between items relating to the current year and those
relating to previous or future years.
The Income and Expenditure Account is an income statement which is prepared
to ascertain the excess of revenue income over revenue expenditure or vice

2015-16

Accountancy Not-for-Profit Organisation and Partnership Accounts

versa, for a particular accounting year, as a r esult of the entitys overall activities.
Although it is considered to be a substitute for the Trading and Profit and Loss
Account of a profit-seeking entity, there are certain conceptual differences
between the two statements. The Balance Sheet is prepared at the end of the
entitys accounting year to depict the financial position on that date. It includes
the Capital Fund or Accumulated Fund, special purpose funds, and current
liabilities on the left hand or liabilities side, and fixed assets and current assets
on the right hand or assets side.
4. Difference between the Receipt and Payment Account and the Income and
Expenditure Account: Many differences exist between the Receipt and Payment
Account and the Income and Expenditure Account which is evident from the
nature and purpose of two statements. While the former records both capital
and revenue r eceipts and payments relating to any accounting year, the latter
records only revenue items relating to the current accounting year. Non-cash
expenses such as depreciation on fixed assets and outstanding incomes and
expenses are shown in the latter but omitted in the former. The Receipt and
Payment Account has an opening balance while the Income and Expenditure
Account does not. The closing balance of the former account represents cash
and bank balances on the closing date while in the latter account it indicates
surplus or deficit from the activities of the enterprise.
5. Conversion of a Receipt and Payment Account into an Income and Expenditure
Account: This essentially involves five steps namely, (i) adjusting the revenue
receipts on the debit side to include outstanding incomes and incomes relating
to the current year received earlier and to exclude amounts received in arrears
or in advance; (ii) adjusting revenue payments on the credit side; (iii) identifying
and showing non-cash expenses and losses on the debit side of the Income
and Expenditure Account; (iv) computing and showing profits/losses from
trading and/or social activities on the credit/debit side of the Income and
Expenditure Account; and (v) ascertaining the surplus or deficit as the closing
balance of the Income and Expenditure Account.
