Summary: GAAP specific to non-profits

Rating: 4

Yes, it is 2008. But don't take the 2007 in the book's title too literally. The guidelines in the book are extremely unlikely to change in this year. The book is aimed as readers in US charities and other non-profit organisations. Describing in straightforward fashion how to do your books under GAAP. There is a presumption that you, the reader, are already a bookkeeper or accountant and are already familiar with the basics of bookkeeping.

The book goes into aspects of GAAP that are likely pertinent to many non-profits. Like how to deal with an endowment. Or if a person comes to you and wants to establish a trust that would give distributions to that person while she is alive. And then, after her death, the trust's assets revert to your organisation. These and many other common situations for many established non-profits are well described.
