List of objectives and questions
by Joe Bishop-Henchman 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

Attached is a document I put together making my wild stab at listing our priorities, attempting to describe goals we have implicitly set, and questions that came to my mind. As I am a freshman member of the LNC, I'm sure it's incomplete, that many are dumb questions or have answers easily found in the reports (I admittedly haven't read most of them yet), or have "history," but I did want to share in the interests of letting everyone know where my mind is at and what I may ask about at the meeting.

FASB changes overview (background for agenda item in tomorrow's meeting)
by Joe Bishop-Henchman 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

New FASB Changes 1. Nonprofits must manage cash, budget, and book. What are the differences? A. Cash is a snapshot at a particular moment of liquid assets able to meet current and future obligations. Best practice is to have a cash flow projection so as to avoid negative cash flow at any point in time in the near-future, through revenues exceeding expenses, availability of liquid net assets, and/or access to a line of credit. B. Budget is a period of time (usually annual) listing anticipated revenues and expenses. Best practice is for adoption of an annual budget where revenues equal or exceed expenses over the budget timeframe, to prevent exhaustion of net assets. C. Book is a continual classification of financial transactions, identifying revenues and assets by their restrictions on their usage (receivable vs. cash, liquid vs. illiquid, donor or legally restricted vs. unrestricted, released vs. unreleased), and expense obligations and liabilities by their function (program, development, management) and nature (salaries, rent, etc.). Best practice is for accuracy of all recording (including accurate reporting of time spent by staff by function and nature) and for unrestricted net assets to be not in a negative position at any time. 2. What is FASB? Financial Accounting Standards Board. They create Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the best practices for accounting and financial statements by non-profit entities. A non-profit entity cannot get a clean audit without adhering to FASB standards. 3. What is FASB doing differently? FASB has announced a revision in financial reporting standards for non-profits, its first since 1993. The new standards take effect for nonprofits in their fiscal years starting after December 15, 2017. A. Donor Restriction Classification Current FASB standards focus on type of donor restrictions (unrestricted, temporary, permanent). The new standards focus on whether assets are restricted or not (with restrictions, without restrictions). Nonprofits still must track net assets and follow any donor restrictions, but no longer need to distinguish between temporary and permanent restricted net assets. B. Liquidity Restrictions Assets and liabilities statements will now need to disclose any limitations on asset availability to be used for current expenses, be it the nature of the asset (illiquid or receivable), donor or other contractual restrictions, or board restrictions. For organizations who have positive net assets but ones that are not in liquid or unrestricted form to satisfy current obligations, this will more clearly show cash flow shortfalls. C. Expense Detail Currently nonprofits need only categorize expenses as three buckets: program, development, and management. The new FASB rules require further detail as to their nature (salaries, travel expense, rent, etc.). Most nonprofits already disclose this information on their IRS Form 990. C. Investment Expenses Nonprofits no longer need to report the amount of netted out investment expenses on investment income. Nonprofits must still report the net income received, but determining how much was netted has proven difficult. D. Cash Flow Statement Nonprofits may now choose either direct or indirect presentation of cash flow, instead of having to do both. E. Overhead Allocation Nonprofits must now disclose the methodology for calculating overhead and apply it consistently.

Update on e-meeting
by Caryn Ann Harlos 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

I am troubleshooting things with Adobe today and tomorrow - depending upon how that goes will determine whether we are using Zoom or Adobe for this meeting. Zoom is far smoother in general, but its floating and disappearing screens can be confusing and in a group of our size, something I would like to avoid. Adobe has everything on one screen but they just upgraded to html and I did test run with a committee today and holey moley, there are still issues. -- * In Liberty,* *Libertarian Party and Libertarian National Committee Secretary *- Caryn.Ann.
