If you're an executive or volunteer leader at a nonprofit who is unfamiliar with the formats and language of financial statements, this book fills you in on how to read and correctly interpret those critical documents. If you're a seasoned pro who wants to brush up on your skills while familiarizing yourself with the latest FASB nonprofit reporting standards, this is the only guide you need.

The intent behind creating the ASU 2016-14 was to improve the clarity and usefulness of nonprofit financial statements, but making sense of those statements can still be tough going for the uninitiated.

• Clearly defines accounting terminology and concepts, while offering numerous examples of financial statements reflecting both the old and new FASB standards
• Steers you, line-by-line, through financial reports, providing explanations of differences between the old and new standards
• Provides numerous illustrations that help you quickly feel at home with the format of nonprofit financial statements
• Offers exercises that help you gain insight into the concepts surrounding nonprofit financial statements and reinforce your command of those concepts
