donor-imposed restrictions

This subtopic governs how health care entities, including not-for-profit business-oriented health care entities, present their balance sheets. The general rule is a classified (current/noncurrent) balance sheet under Section 210-10-45, except that a continuing care retirement community may instead sequence assets by nearness of conversion to cash and liabilities by nearness of maturity. It also specifies that contractually limited (non-donor) assets stay in net assets without donor restrictions, that interfund balances are eliminated, and that restricted or segregated cash is excluded from current assets.

This subtopic governs the not-for-profit statement of financial position (the NFP equivalent of a balance sheet). At a minimum the statement must report totals for assets, liabilities, net assets, net assets with donor restrictions, and net assets without donor restrictions, focusing on the entity as a whole (958-210-45-1). It also requires liquidity-related presentation and disclosure, including qualitative information about how the NFP manages liquid resources and quantitative information about financial assets available for general expenditures within one year (958-210-50-1A).

This subtopic provides implementation guidance for how not-for-profit entities (NFPs) prepare a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. It addresses when otherwise-qualifying short-term investments cannot be treated as cash equivalents because of donor restrictions, how donor-restricted contributions for long-term purposes must be reclassified as financing inflows, and how agency transactions, noncash contributions, and collection items are reported.

This Subtopic applies the general loss contingency model of Topic 450 to not-for-profit entities. It identifies two NFP-specific triggers — noncompliance with donor-imposed restrictions on contributed assets and problems with (or absence of a determination letter for) tax-exempt status — that may require accrual of a loss contingency under Subtopic 450-20 and disclosure under Section 450-20-50.
