Hopefully you have already heard about the launch of International Non-Profit Accounting Guidance, Exposure Draft 3 (INPAG ED3) on 28 May 2024! In this newsletter we have some great new resources – an overview video, 2 articles and an explainer video about INPAG and donor reporting. There’s also a reminder about previously shared resources so you have everything in one place.
If you intend to respond before 16 September, please let us know by filling this short form.
Not sure where to start with Exposure Draft 3? This short video introduces the purpose and content shedding light on questions such as:
• Which key topics are included in ED3?
• What Other topics are included in ED3?
• What is the structure of INPAG?
• Why is INPAG necessary?
• Why does your feedback matter?
ED3 includes INPAG Practice Guide 1: Supplementary statements, which proposes a harmonised format that can be used for grant reporting. Building on work from the Grand Bargain, it is a real game-changer!
Check out the explainer video above, the Statement of Support from the Donor Reference Group here, and download the Practice Guide here.
We have published 2 articles about ED3 – a short version (nutshell) and a longer version (unpacking) for those that want to go deeper.
We would also like to signpost you to a blog from Siham Bortsoch in 2022, where she drew on her extensive work on NPO administration costs, to make a range of insightful recommendations for INPAG. Some of these have been addressed in ED3.

Our upcoming July webinar series will cover key proposals in the Exposure Draft 3. Each one is for 60 minutes starting at 11:00 UTC / GMT. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the proposals, ask questions, share comments, and learn how to respond to the consultation. The events will be held in English, and will support participation in Spanish and French. You can see information about all the events and register here.
