Foundation & Nonprofit Accounting

Foundations and nonprofit organizations have unique accounting characteristics: no owner equity, but net assets divided into restricted funds and unrestricted funds. Financial reports must be transparent for donors, government, and society. Arunika Consulting helps foundations prepare financial statements according to ISAK 35 and SAK EP so accountability is maintained.

What usually goes wrong

  • Restricted vs Unrestricted Funds Classification

    Donor funds often have usage restrictions (restricted) that must be recorded separately from general operational funds.

  • Non-Cash Donation Recognition

    Donations in the form of goods, voluntary services, or assets need fair value assessment for recording in financial statements.

  • Multi-Stakeholder Reporting

    Foundations must prepare reports for donors, regulators (Ministry of Law), and internal with different information needs.

  • Activity Surplus vs Profit

    The term 'profit' is not relevant for nonprofit. Understanding that surplus is the difference between revenue and expenses that increases net assets.
