Learn to distinguish income tax and non income tax contingencies, ensure proper disclosure, and assess compliance risks.
Accounting for contingencies in nonprofit financial statements has long been required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. But the distinction between income taxes, addressed in ASC 740 and contingencies, addressed in ASC 450 have muddied the waters for nonprofits. Tendencies have leaned toward insufficient analysis of non income tax contingencies that should be disclosed. This presentation will help the persons responsible for accurate, timely and transparent financials for nonprofit organizations to define and distinguish between income tax contingencies and non income tax contingencies, establish methodologies for accrual and/or disclosure and to properly record and/or disclose all income tax liabilities and contingencies in the financial statements. Additionally, the nonprofit financial professional will be able to assess the risks related to non-compliance in these matters.
