FASB’s New Financial Reporting Rules

The New Rules Simplify Things. Right?

On August 8, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published updated rules for Not-for-Profit organizations which changed the way financial statements were to be written and presented.  The new rules were intended to simplify the reporting process and to ensure that the information provided for non-profits was sufficient for donors, creditors, and grant providers.  While the changes have been better for report consumers, they did not make the job of creating or auditing Financial Statements any easier.

The rule changes went into affect on December 15, 2017, and many months later the finance departments of many non-profits were still scrambling to understand how the changes impacted them and their upcoming financial statements.
