Accounting Standards Update significant changes of not-for-profits financial reporting requirements

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-14, Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities, significantly changes the financial reporting requirements for not-for-profits (NFPs).  Reporting changes include (a) net assets, (b) investment income and expenses, (c) functional expenses, and (d) cash flows.  Additionally, ASU 2016-14 requires additional disclosures regarding liquidity and availability of resources.  This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. 

To assist in understanding these impacts, MSL has developed a supplemental checklist to assist financial preparers with the implementation of ASU 2016-14 

Free access to ASU 2016-14 and all other ASUs can be obtained for free at www.fasb.org, Standards, Accounting Standards Updates Issued.
