Key Points: Not-Profit Concern

  • Not-for-profit concerns aim to provide services to society rather than to earn profit and include clubs, schools, hospitals, and charitable trusts.
  • They prepare the Receipts and Payments Account, the Income and Expenditure Account, and the Balance Sheet instead of the Trading and Profit & Loss Accounts.
  • Their income sources include subscriptions, donations, grants, admission fees, and government subsidies.
  • These organisations are managed by elected members and do not distribute profits or dividends to members.
  • They maintain books of accounts to ensure transparency, legal compliance, and control over funds, and to determine surplus/deficit and net worth.
