The free online event held in English with resources in French and Spanish.
This webinar covered the proposals in relation to donor reporting that will be set out in the International Non-Profit Accounting Guidance Exposure Draft 3 (INPAG). This was relevant because:
- Many NPOs receive grants for specific purposes and are required to report on the use of funds, but the special formats of each donor report vary from each other.
- INPAG Practice Guide 1: Supplementary Statements includes a harmonised format for specified activities, reconciled to the main financial statements.
- The Supplementary statements may be used for specific grants, projects or other types of segmental reporting.
- This will be a win/win for funders and NPOs in terms of improved assurance and reduced burden.
The participants learnt more about:
- What does the standard format donor report look like?
- How are the supplementary statements reconciled to the main financial statements?
- Is use of the format mandatory or optional?
- Which donors have committed to allowing or requiring their grantees to use this format?
