  1. 321-958Not-for-Profit Entities321 Investments—Equity Securities

    This subtopic (codified as 958-321) sets the incremental rules for how not-for-profit entities account for investments in equity securities and other ownership interests, layering on top of the general guidance in Topic 321. Equity securities purchased are initially measured at acquisition cost excluding brokerage and transaction fees; those received as contributions or through agency transactions are initially measured at fair value, with subsequent measurement following Topic 321. Investments held by an NFP as agent with little or no discretion over use of the income and gains are reported as agency transactions—changes in assets and liabilities, not changes in net assets.
