STUDY NOTE – 3
ACCOUNTING FOR NON-PROFIT SEEKING ORGANISATIONS
Their annual accounts are regularly prepared to convey their financial affairs to their mem-
bers or others like (govt. etc.) for seeking financial grants. If the size of the concern is small,
the accounting records are usually kept under single entry system. Complete double entry
system is followed only in big concerns. In any case they all prepare — (A) Receipts & Pay-
ments Account for a financial period; (B) Income & Expenditure Account for a financial
period and (C) Balance Sheet at the end of the financial period.
1. It is an Account which contains all Cash and Bank transactions made by a non-
profit organization during a particular financial period.
2. It starts with the opening balances of Cash and Bank. All Cash Receipts both capital &
revenue during the period are debited to it.
3. All Cash Payments both capital & revenue during the period are credited to this Ac-
count. It ends with the closing Cash and Bank Balances.
4. While recording the Cash and Bank transactions all entries are made on Cash Basis.
2. All expenses of revenue nature for the particular period are debited to this Account
on accrual basis.
3. Similarly all revenue incomes related to the particular period are credited to this ac-
count on accrual basis.
5. Only current year’s incomes and expenses are recorded. Amounts related to other
periods are deducted. Amounts outstanding for the current year are added.
6. Profit on Sale of Asset is credited. Loss on Sale of Asset is debited. Annual Depre ciation
on Assets is also debited.
7. If income is more than expenditure, it is called a Surplus, and is added with Capital or
General Fund etc. in the Balance Sheet.

C. Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet is prepared in the similar way as followed in a Trading concern. The
marshalling of the assets and liabilities may be made in order of liquidity or in order of
permanence.
2. Special Fund: It may be created out of special donation or subscription or out of a por-
tion of the “Surplus”. For example a club may have a “Building Fund”. It may be used
for meeting some specific expenses or for acquiring an asset. If any income is derived
out of investments made against this fund or if any profit or loss occurs due to sale of
such investments, such income or profit or loss is transferred to this fund.
Other Treatments
(a) If the Special Fund is used to meet an expense
Special Fund A/c Dr.
To Bank A/c (amt. of expense)
The balance of the Fund is shown as a liability.
If the balance is transferred to Capital Fund, the entry will be—
Special Fund A/c Dr.
To Capital Fund A/c (Balance of Special Fund )
(b) If the Special Fund is used to purchase an asset
Asset A/c Dr.
To Bank A/c (Cost of the asset )
Special Fund A/c Dr.
To Capital Fund A/c (Special Fund closed)
3. Donations
(a) Donation received for a particular purpose should be credited to Special Fund. For
example, Donation received for Building should be credited to Building Fund A/c.
(b) For other donations received the by-laws or rules of the concern should be followed.
(c) If there is no such rule, donations received of non-recurring nature should be credited to
Capital Fund. Recurring donations received should be credited to Income & Expendi-
ture Account.
(d) Donation paid by the concern should be debited to Income & Expenditure Account.
4. Legacy received : It is to he directly added with Capital Fund after deduction of tax,( if
any). It is a kind of donation received according to the will made by a deceased person.
5. Entrance Fees or Admission Fees
(a) The rules or by-laws of the concern should be followed.
(b) If there is no such rule, Admission or Entrance Fees paid once by members for acquiring
membership should be added with Capital Fund.
(c) If such fees are of small amounts covering the expenses of admission only, the fees may
be credited to Income & Expenditure Account.
6. Subscriptions
(a) Annual subscriptions are credited to Income & Expenditure Account on accrual basis.
(b) Life membership subscription is usually credited to a separate account shown as a liabil-
ity. Annual Subscription apportioned out of that is credited to Income & Expenditure
Account and deducted from the liability. Thus the balance is carried forward till the
contribution by a member is fully exhausted. If any mem ber dies before hand, the bal-
ance of his life Membership contribution is trans ferred to Capital Fund or General Fund.
