the acquisition date. They are intangible assets and therefore under paragraphs 39 and 40 of IAS 38

paid for the asset in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, based on the

The basic financial reports of a nonprofit organization include:
Statement of financial position (also called a balance sheet): This summarizes the assets, liabilities and net
assets of the organization at a specified date. Its a snapshot of the organizations financial position on that date.
Statement of activity (also called an income and expense statement): This reports the organizations financial
activity over a period of time. It shows income minus expenses, which results in either a profit or a loss.
Statement of cash flow: This summarizes the resources that become available to the organization during the
reporting period and the uses made of such resources. Its especially useful in real-time because it reports income
that has been received and expenses that have been paid. A statement of projected cash flow is helpful for the
board and organization to be able to anticipate any shortfalls for planning purposes.
Statement of functional expenses: Reports all expenses as related either to program services or to supporting
services. Expenses under program services are shown divided among the various programs. Expenses under
supporting services are generally divided between (1) management and general expenses and (2) fundraising
expenses.
