Recently, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued final guidance for non-profit organizations addressing the net classification of donor restricted endowment funds for organizations that fall under the 2006 Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA). The new guidance is going to require broad and extensive new disclosures about the organization's endowment funds. FSP FAS 117-1 will cover all organizations with donor restricted and board designated endowment funds. All organizations that fall under these guidelines, and their auditors, should have a critical understanding of this new guidance.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals to help you understand FSP FAS 117-1 and its impact on your organization/clients. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour LIVE webinar.
