Disclosures Related to Net Assets
Information about the nature and amounts of different types of donor-imposed restrictions should be reported either on the face of the statements or in the notes. Separate line items that distinguish between the different types of restrictions may be used such as:
• Assets, such as land or works of art, donated with stipulations that they be used for a specified purpose, be preserved, and not be sold.
• Assets donated with stipulations that they be invested to provide a permanent source of income.
• Support of particular operating activities. • Investment for a specified term.• Use in a specified future period.• Acquisition of long-lived assets.

“Underwater” Endowments
17
• To be reflected in net assets with donor restrictions rather than in net assets without donor restrictions
Revised net asset classification
• In addition to aggregate amounts by which funds are underwater (current GAAP), also disclose aggregate of original gift amounts (or level required by donor or law) for such funds, fair value, and any governing board policy or decision to reduce or not spend from such funds.
Enhanced disclosures

Operating Measure: Improved Disclosures
For those NFPs that utilize an operating measure and show governing board designations, appropriations, and similar actions (internal transfers) in the measure:
These NFPs must report these types of internal transfers appropriately disaggregated and described by type (either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes).

Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 21
Implementation Issues – Net Assets
In order to change from three classes of net assets to only two classes, NFPs willhave to perform a detailed review of their organization’s records to make sureall funds are classified correctly.
The new standard requires reporting of underwater amounts of donor-restricted endowment funds in net assets with donor restrictions. The standard also enhances disclosures about underwater endowments. Therefore, underwater amounts previously reported in unrestricted funds must be reclassified to net assets with donor restrictions.
Subcategories of net assets classes should be established and reviewed withaudit committee, if organization wishes to report subcategories.
Organizations should ensure policies are in place to reflect new disclosurerequirements in relation to net assets.
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 22
Expiration of Capital Restrictions
Gifts of cash restricted for acquisition or construction of PP&E NFPs would be required to use the placed-in-service approach (no more
implied time restrictions) unless there is a donor explicit stipulation of a time period for the use of assets
Reclassify any amounts from net assets with donor restrictions to net assetswithout donor restrictions for such long-lived assets that have been placed inservice as of the beginning of the period of adoption (thus eliminating thecurrent option to release the donor-imposed restriction over the estimateduseful life of the acquired asset).
Approach for reporting expirations on gifts of capital assets:Does your organization use the placed-in-service approach? If not, your organization will have to adopt it, taking into account any donor explicit stipulations
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 23
Implementation Issues – Capital Restrictions
When examining the effect of the ASU on your organization, you should look atwhether you have any contributions of long-lived assets that are beingreclassified over time without any explicit stipulation of a time period for the useof the asset. If these assets have already been placed in service, the amount ofthese long-lived assets should be reclassified from net assets with donorrestrictions to net assets without donor restrictions upon adoption of the ASU.
In addition, the organization will have to modify its policy with regard to thereceipt of contributions for the construction of long-lived assets or donated long-lived assets. Upon adoption of the ASU, an organization will have to recognizerevenue without donor restrictions when the donated assets are placed in serviceabsent any explicit donor stipulations otherwise. In the past, organizations hadan option to either follow the placed-in-service approach or to place an impliedtime restriction on the long-lived assets.

Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 25
Liquidity and Availability of Resources
NFPs required to
provide:
Qualitative information on how an NFP manages its liquid available resources and its liquidity risk (in
the notes)
Quantitative information that communicates the availability of an NFP’s financial assets at the
statement of financial position date to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year (on
the face and/or in the notes)
Examples from early adopters demonstrate three ways to provide the required information
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 26
Liquidity and Availability of Resources
Qualitative
NFPs are required to communicate how they manage their liquid resources available to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year of the date of the statement of financial position. Additionally, NFPs should disclose any of the following:
a. Unusual circumstances, such as special borrowingarrangements, requirements imposed by resource providers thatcash be held in separate accounts, and known significantliquidity problems.
b. The fact that the NFP has not maintained appropriateamounts of cash and cash equivalents to comply with donor-imposed restrictions.
c. Information about significant limits resulting fromcontractual agreements with suppliers, creditors, and others,including the existence of loan covenants.

Liquidity and Availability of Resources
Quantitative
NFPs are required to communicate the availability of their financial assets at the statement of financial position date to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year (on the face and/or in the notes).
Availability of a financial asset may be affected by (1) its nature, (2) external limits imposed by donors, grantors, laws, and contracts with others, and (3) internal limits imposed by governing board decisions.

Note T (Continued)
NFP A’s endowment funds consist of donor-restricted endowments and a quasi-endowment. Incomefrom donor-restricted endowments is restricted for specific purposes and, therefore, is notavailable for general expenditure. As described in Note Y, the quasi-endowment has a spendingrate of 5 percent. $1.65 million of appropriations from the quasi-endowment will be availablewithin the next 12 months.
As part of NFP A’s liquidity management, it has a policy to structure its financial assets to beavailable as its general expenditures, liabilities, and other obligations come due. In addition, NFPA invests cash in excess of daily requirements in short-term investments. To help manageunanticipated liquidity needs, NFP A has committed lines of credit in the amount of $20 million,which it could draw upon. Additionally, NFP A has a quasi-endowment of $33 million. Although NFPA does not intend to spend from its quasi-endowment other than amounts appropriated forgeneral expenditure as part of its annual budget approval and appropriation process, amountsfrom its quasi-endowment could be made available if necessary. However, both the quasi-endowment and donor-restricted endowments contain investments with lock-up provisions thatwould reduce the total investments that could be made available (see Note X for disclosures aboutinvestments).

Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 31
Implementation Issues –Liquidity and Availability
NFPs will now have to show disclosures that will reflect how much of their assetsare in reserve and not available for use. If these analyses were not done in thepast, some results may be surprising.
NFPs will have to decide whether they should report a classified statement offinancial position.
If not previously formalized, NFPs will now have to have an established plan inplace to report on availability of unrestricted liquid assets as of the date of thestatement of financial position to meet operating cash needs within one year ofthe statement date.
NFPs may want to look at establishing an operating reserve as part of its processof managing liquidity. We suggest looking at the Net Operating Reserve InitiativeProject.

Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 33
Expense Reporting
Report expenses, either on the face of financial statements or in the notes, by:
• Function *• Natural classification• Analysis (disaggregate function by nature)• Cannot be presented as supplemental information* currently required in GAAP
NFPs are now required to provide qualitative disclosures about methods used to allocate costs among program activities and supporting services
ASU 2016-14 also provides enhanced guidance on allocations from management and general (M&G) expenses
• Key concept: direct conduct or direct supervision
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 34
Expense Reporting
Additional Information
• If expenses are reported in other line items within the statement of activities (e.g., salaries are included in costs of goods sold) they should be included in the functional reporting schedule by their natural classification.
• External and direct internal investment expenses that are netted against investment return should not be included in the functional expense analysis.

a. Oversightb. Business managementc. General recordkeeping and payrolld. Budgetinge. Financingf. Soliciting funds other than contributions and membership dues (see examples included in above section) g. Administering government, foundation, and similar customer-sponsored contracts, including billing and collecting fees and grant and contract financial reporting
-

Management and General Expenses (958-720-45-7)
Management and general activities include the following (continued):
h. Disseminating information to inform the public of the NFP’s stewardshipof contributed fundsi. Making announcements concerning appointmentsj. Producing and disseminating the annual reportk. Employee benefits management and oversight (human resources)l. All other management and administration except for direct conduct ofprogram services (see paragraphs 958-720-55-171-55-176 for examples)
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 38
Management and General Expenses
“The costs of oversight and management usually include the salaries
and expenses of the governing board, the chief executive officer of
the NFP, and the supporting staff. If such staff spend a portion of
their time directly conducting or supervising program services or
categories of other supporting services, however, their salaries and
expenses shall be allocated among those functions.” (958-720-45-8)
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 39
Direct Conduct or Direct Supervision
“Activities that represent direct conduct or direct supervision of
program or other supporting activities require allocation from
management and general activities. Additionally, certain costs benefit
more than one function and, therefore, shall be allocated. For
example, information technology generally can be identified as
benefiting various functions, such as management and general (for
example, accounting and financial reporting and human resources),
fundraising, and program delivery. Therefore, information technology
costs generally would be allocated among the functions receiving
direct benefit.” (958-720-45-2A)
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 40
Direct Conduct or Direct Supervision
Case A in ASU: Chief Executive Officer Allocation958-720-55-172: The broad responsibilities of a chief executive officergenerally include administrative and programmatic oversight. At Not-for-Profit Entity A (NFP A), the chief executive officer spends a portionof time directly overseeing the research program. Additionally, aportion of time is spent with current and potential donors onfundraising cultivation activities. A portion of the chief executiveofficer’s compensation and benefits and other expenses would beallocated to the research program and to the fundraising functionrepresenting the portion of time spent on those activities because theyreflect direct conduct or direct supervision. If the remainder of thechief executive officer’s time is spent indirectly supervising the otherareas of NFP A, including the administrative areas, those activitieswould not constitute direct conduct or direct supervision, and theratable portion of compensation and benefit amounts would remain inmanagement and general activities.
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 41
Direct Conduct or Direct Supervision
Case C in ASU: Human Resources Department Allocation958-720-55-174 The human resources department at Not-for-ProfitEntity C (NFP C) generally is involved in the benefits administration forall personnel of NFP C. The human resources department’s relatedcosts would not be allocated to any specific program. Rather, thosecosts would remain a component of management and general activitiesbecause benefits administration is a supporting activity for the entireentity.

Example Disclosure for Expense Allocation Disclosure
NOTE X. METHODS USED FOR ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES FROM MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL ACTIVITIES (ASU 958-720-55-176)
The financial statements report certain categories of expenses that areattributable to one or more program or supporting functions of the Organization.Those expenses include depreciation and amortization, the president’s office,communications department, and information technology department.Depreciation is allocated based on square footage, the president’s office isallocated based on estimates of time and effort, certain costs of thecommunications department are allocated based on estimates of time and effort,and the information technology department is allocated based on estimates oftime and costs of specific technology utilized.
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 43
Implementation Issues – Reporting of Expenses
Nonprofits should review their allocation methodologies to determine if there are anychanges that are necessary to comply with the ASU.
Once the allocation methodologies are implemented, nonprofits should decide how topresent this analysis in their financial statements and develop the format.
Nonprofits may need to evaluate the different programs and supporting activities todetermine if the methodology and presentation is complete and accurate.
Nonprofits will also have to develop wording for its allocation methodology disclosure.
In developing the disclosures, a nonprofit should assess which activities constitutedirect conduct or direct supervision of a program or supporting function, and,therefore require an allocation of costs.

• Netting limited to external and direct internal expenses
Disclosure of investment expenses no longer required
No longer require disclosure of investment income components
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 46
Investment Return
Direct internal investment expenses involve the direct conduct or directsupervision of the strategic and tactical activities involved in generatinginvestment return including:• Salaries, benefits, travel, and other costs associated with the officer and
staff responsible for the development and execution of investmentstrategy.
• Allocable costs associated with internal investment management andsupervising, selecting, and monitoring of external investment managementfirms.
Direct internal investment expenses do not include items that are notassociated with generating investment return. For example, the costsassociated with unitization and other such aspects of endowmentmanagement would not be allocated.
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 47
Implementation Issues – Reporting of Investment Return
Only the net amount of the investment return related to total return investing isrequired to be presented in the statement of activities.
Programmatic investing, or any financial activity that directly carries out anonprofit’s mission or purpose, such as a loan made to lower-income individualsto promote home ownership is not included in this net presentation.
To comply with this presentation, organizations need to fully understand thedefinitions of these terms and then consider how to appropriately and accuratelycapture this information.
Accounting for investment expenses and the related allocation of costs is aprocess that organizations will have to develop to properly present theseinvestment costs under the provisions of the ASU. The complexity will depend onthe type of organization and the amount and nature of their investments.

Cash Flow Statement
Continue to allow free choice between the Direct Method and the Indirect Method • However the Indirect Reconciliation will no longer be required if the NFP
chooses to use the Direct Method
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 50
Implementation Issues – Cash Flow Statement
Discussion should be held among management and those charged withgovernance on current method of cash flow and determination of whether anychanges will be made in terms of direct versus indirect methods.
Discussion should include the pros and cons of both methods.
If determination is made to switch to alternative cash flow method,information gathering should take place to ensure the information is accessiblefor the desired reporting structure.

Early Adoption and Transition
Presentation of Financial Statements of NFPs, ASU 2016-14
Early Adoption: Permitted, but must apply the regular transition provisions
Transition: • For year of adoption: apply all provisions.• For comparative years presented: apply all provisions, except can choose
not to present for the prior year(s) presented:- Analysis of expenses by nature and function, and/or- Disclosures around liquidity and availability of resources
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 53
Important Notes
NFPs are already permitted to incorporate many of the changes in the ASU. The only changes that cannot be done without formally adopting the ASU are:
(1) Presenting one class of restricted net assets (consolidating temporarily and permanently restricted)
(2) Underwater endowment presentation(3) Eliminate disclosures of investment return components and netted expenses(4) Eliminate requirement to provide indirect reconciliation if using direct
method for operating cash flows
-
Financial Statements Presentation for Nonprofits – Implementation Perspective 54
Implementation Issues - General
Each NFP needs to develop an implementation plan for ASU 2016-14.
Policies and procedures may have to be updated in order to comply with theFASB update. This should be done as early as possible and not wait until theend of the first fiscal year under implementation.

How to Get Ready – Items to Consider! Item #1
Financial Report changes
Consider whether it would be helpful to
prepare a “classified” Statement of Financial
Position
Revise report columns to reflect new net asset
classes
Determine whether your organization wants to present comparative
statements in the year of adoption
Determine whether your organization wants to
present direct or indirect method of cash flow
statement
-

How to Get Ready – Items to Consider! Item #2
Board-designated
funds
Does the policy outline how board-designatedfunds are funded and
drawn down?
Does your organization have a policy for the
commitment of board-designated funds?
Does the board periodically review disbursements from
board designated funds?
