Navigating Revenue Recognition: A Guide for Nonprofit Decision Makers

Navigating revenue recognition is one of the most complex responsibilities nonprofit finance leaders face.

Grants, contributions, fee-for-service arrangements, and multi-year awards each carry unique accounting rules and compliance risks. Missteps can lead to misstated financials, audit findings, or strained donor relationships.

This interactive roundtable fosters candid discussions, peer learning, and practical insights you can apply immediately inside your organization.

At the end of this session, you’ll be able to:

• Recall whether certain revenue transactions are contributions or exchange interactions
• Recognize the key components of conditional contributions and contributions with donor restrictions
• Describe how to manage and report restricted funds, including donor-imposed restrictions and how they dictate the use and timing of funds
