   This subtopic governs contributions (promises to give) receivable — a receivable unique to not-for-profit entities — focusing on subsequent measurement, presentation, and disclosure after initial recognition under 958-605. Unconditional promises are recognized as an asset and revenue when received (with verifiable documentation), measured initially under 958-605-30-4 through 30-8, and thereafter either at fair value under the 825-10 fair value option or under the change-in-value rules in Section 35 (interest accretion is contribution revenue; decreases in expected assets are bad debt expense/loss; increases generally are not recognized except as recovery of previously recognized bad debts).
