More information:

15. How it Works

16. NMTC –The Details
Investors to receive a tax credit against their federal taxes in exchange for making equity investments in specialized financial institutions (community development entities, or CDEs)
Must make investments in low-income communities; wide variety of allowable activities (loans, equity investments
NFPs that serve low-income communities may receive NMTC funding for capital projects
Funding from CDEs is often in the form of loans or equity investments in NFPs’ real estate projects.
The transactions and underlying agreements are complex and have specific audit risks that should be considered by the auditor of the NFP.

17. Audit Risks
Proper accounting for the loan or equity investment by the NFP in the investment fund
Proper accounting for the loan (note payable) or equity investment the NFP receives from the CDE
Risk that the NFP will not include appropriate disclosures related to the NMTC Program funding
Future funding commitments related to the loan/equity investment by the NFP to the investment fund
Standard disclosures related to loan or equity investment from the CDE
Disclosure of the put/call option at end of tax credit period
Accounting for the exercise of the put/call

19. Challenges Relating to New Auditing Standards

20. SAS No.118
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 118: Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements
This SAS addresses the auditor’s responsibility in relation to other information in documents containing audited financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon.
In the absence of any separate requirement in the particular circumstances of the engagement, the auditor’s opinion on the financial statements does not cover other information, and the auditor has no responsibility for determining whether such information is properly stated.
This SAS establishes the requirement for the auditor to read the other information of which the auditor is aware because the credibility of the audited financial statements may be undermined by material inconsistencies between the audited financial statements and other information.
Annual “Glossy” reports fall into this category

21. SAS No. 119
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 119: Supplementary Information in Relation to the Financial Statements As a Whole
This SAS addresses the auditor’s responsibility when engaged to report on whether supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The information covered by this SAS is presented outside the basic financial statements and is not considered necessary for the financial statements to be fairly presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
This SAS also may be applied, with the report wording adapted as necessary, when an auditor has been engaged to report on whether required supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) falls under SAS No. 119 (Click here to access GAQC SEFA Practice Aids which have been updated for SAS No. 119 and are open to the public)

22. SAS No. 119
SAS No. 119 establishes presumptively mandatory requirements that certain conditions are met in order to opine on whether supplementary information is fairly stated in relation to the financial statements as a whole. These conditions include that:
The supplementary information was derived from, and relates directly to, the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements.
The supplementary information relates to the same period as the financial statements.
The financial statements were audited, and the auditor served as the principal auditor in that engagement.
Neither an adverse opinion nor a disclaimer of opinion was issued on the financial statements.
The supplementary information will accompany the entity’s audited financial statements, or such audited financial statements will be made readily available by the entity.

23. SAS No. 119
SAS 119 establishes a presumptively mandatory requirement that the auditor obtain the agreement of management that it acknowledges and understands its responsibilities:
For the fair presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with the applicable criteria.
To provide the auditor with certain written representations.
To include the auditor’s report on the supplementary information in any document that contains the supplementary information and that indicates that the auditor has reported on such supplementary information.
To present the supplementary information with the audited financial statements or, if the supplementary information will not be presented with the audited financial statements, to make the audited financial statements readily available to the intended users of the supplementary information no later than the date of the auditor’s report.

24. SAS No. 120
SAS No.120, Required Supplementary Information, the auditor’s responsibilities with respect to information that a designated accounting standard setter requires to accompany the basic f/s.
Defines “designated accounting standard setter: as a body designated by the AICPA council to establish GAAP (i.e., the FASB, GASB, IASB and the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board)
Defines “required supplementary information” as information required to accompany an entity’s basic f/s;
Establishes the auditor’s objectives when a designated accounting standards setter requires information to accompany the basic f/s;
Requires auditors to apply certain specified procedures to the required supplementary information; and
Establishes the reporting requirements with respect to required supplemental information.
Applicable to GASB type schedules

Specialists whose work is used by the entity in preparing the financial statements
Auditor’s specialists (AU-C 620)
Specialists whose work is used by the auditor to assist the auditor in obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence.

35. Group Audits
AU-C Section 600: Special Considerations—Audits of Group Financial Statements (Including the Work of Component Auditors)
.11 For purposes of GAAS, the following terms have the meanings attributed as follows:
Component. An entity or business activity for which group or component management prepares financial information that is required by the applicable financial reporting framework to be included in the group financial statements.
Component auditor. An auditor who performs work on the financial information of a component that will be used as audit evidence for the group audit. A component auditor may be part of the group engagement partner’s firm, a network firm of the group engagement partner’s firm, or another firm.

36. Group Audits
AU-C Section 600: Special Considerations—Audits of Group Financial Statements (Including the Work of Component Auditors)
.07 Audit risk is a function of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and the risk that the auditor will not detect such misstatements. In a group audit, detection risk includes the risk that a component auditor may not detect a misstatement in the financial information of a component that could cause a material misstatement of the group financial statements and the risk that the group engagement team may not detect this misstatement.

37. Group Audits Materiality
.31 The group engagement team should determine the following:
Materiality, including performance materiality, for the group financial statements as a whole when establishing the overall group audit strategy.
Whether, in the specific circumstances of the group, particular classes of transactions, account balances, or disclosures in the group financial statements exist for which misstatements of lesser amounts than materiality for the group financial statements as a whole could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the group financial statements. In such circumstances, the group engagement team should determine materiality to be applied to those particular classes of transactions, account balances, or disclosures.
Component materiality for those components on which the group engagement team will perform, or request a component auditor to perform, an audit or review. Component materiality should be determined taking into account all components, regardless of whether reference is made in the auditor’s report on the group financial statements to the audit of a component auditor. To reduce the risk that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements in the group financial statements exceeds the materiality for the group financial statements as a whole, component materiality should be lower than the materiality for the group financial statements as a whole, and component performance materiality should be lower than performance materiality for the group financial statements as a whole.
The threshold above which misstatements cannot be regarded as clearly trivial to the group financial statements.

38. Case in Point
We have a client that has 30 locations/entities in 10 different countries. All 30 entities are about the same size and we have calculated overall materiality to be $1,000,000. Tolerable Misstatement equals $750,000.
Accounts receivable equals $700,000 per location/entity, thus AR = $21,000,000.
Conclusion A: AR is immaterial at each location based on OM and TM, therefore the risk of material misstatement is minimal and we will pass further testing.
Conclusion B: AR is immaterial at each individual location, but material to the overall financial statements so we will test AR at 20 of the 30 locations and apply analytics to the other locations based on our risk assessment process.

39. Group Audits – Effective with new clarified audit standards
What is a Group Audit?
Factors to consider:
Governance structure
Management structure
How centralized is financial reporting
Centralized operations
Physical locations
Control environment
Nature of activity
Uniqueness of entity
Other indicators:
Physical location of assets
Financial information provided by others
Existence of multiple G/L or other financial information
If risk assessments vary or legal or regulatory differences exist

40. Group Audits
When will a group audit exist based on the previous indicators?
When another audit firm is used to perform part of the audit (always)
When auditors in the same firm but different offices audit different sections of an audit based on any of the indicators (generally)
Chicago office audits the primary government
Springfield office audits the foundation which is a discretely presented component unit
When a client entity has two distinct operating locations that operate independently (generally)
Example – The University has 2 different campuses that are operated and are accounted for separately as well as combined. This would be a group audit
When the client has blended component units which are legally separate entities audited by the same Crowe office (generally)
Group audits will be prevalent within governmental engagements.

41. SAS No. 126
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 126, The Auditor’s Consideration of an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Issue Date: July 2012
Effective Date: This Statement on Auditing Standards is effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, 2012.
Supersede SAS No. 59, The Auditor's Consideration of an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

42. SAS No. 126
SAS No. 126 addresses the auditor’s responsibilities in an audit of financial statements with respect to evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
This SAS applies to all audits of financial statements regardless of whether the financial statements are prepared in accordance with a general purpose or a special purpose framework.
This SAS does not apply to an audit of financial statements based on the assumption of liquidation (for example, when [a] an entity is in the process of liquidation, [b] the owners have decided to commence dissolution or liquidation, or [c] legal proceedings, including bankruptcy, have reached a point at which dissolution or liquidation is probable).

43. SAS No. 126
The following are the most significant changes to the requirements in prior standards:
SAS-126 requires the auditor to obtain written representations from management if conditions or events have been identified that indicate there could be substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
SAS-126 requires the auditor to reassess the going-concern status of the entity by performing certain procedures when determining whether to eliminate the going-concern emphasis-of-matter paragraph from a reissued report.

44. FASB Project
The Liquidation Basis of Accounting and Going Concern (Formerly Disclosures about Risks and Uncertainties)
Phase I: The objective of this phase of the project is to provide guidance about how and when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting.
Phase II: The objective of this phase of the project is to provide guidance about (a) whether and how an entity should assess its ability to continue as a going concern and (b) if so, the nature and extent of any related disclosure requirements.

51. Accounting Standards in the NFP Environment and Recent FASB Standard-Setting Activity

52. Who are Related Parties
Included in the Not-for-Profit Entities Industry Developments Audit Risk Alert
ASC includes the following as related parties
Affiliates of the entity
Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity (excludes those investments that have adopted the Fair Value Option
Trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts

Management of the entity and members of their immediate families
Other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies
NFP specific relationships
Brother sister organizations
Unconsolidated supporting organizations
National and local affiliates

53. Reporting of Related Entities
Included in Not-for-Profit Entities Industry Developments Audit Risk Alert
Guidance applies to relationships with entities and interest in entities that provide goods or services that accomplish the purpose or mission for which the NFP exists or that serve the NFP’s administrative purposes
Relationships that are NOT “investments” of the NFP
Similar type guidance related to reporting ownership of for-profit entities in circumstances in which those entities are not required to be consolidated and the objective is to invest in the entity for investment return is proposed for the AAG
Information presented:
Describes common relationships
Identifies where relationships are discussed within FASB ASC

54. Three scenarios addressed in table
Initial assessment of related entity: NFP, for-profit, or Special Entity
Relationships with NFP Entities
Relationships with For-Profit Entities
Relationships with Special Entities

55. Relationships with another NFP
Six situations, including:
Controlling financial interest through direct or indirect ownership of the majority voting interest in the other NFP
Control of another NFP through majority voting interest of its board and economic interest exists
NFP receives distributions from a related fund-raising foundation, but does not control the foundation

56. Relationships with a for-Profit Entity
Eleven situations, including:
NFP is the GP of a for-profit limited partnership that has governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership
NFP is a limited partner of a for-profit limited partnership that is engaged in activities other than real estate activities
NFP has an interest in an LLC
NFP has a contractual management relationship with another entity in which it does not have a controlling financial interest

57. Relationships with Special Entities
Five situations, including:
NFP is engaged in a leasing transactions with a special purpose entity lessor
NFP has entered into a joint operating agreement with another entity
NFP is a sponsor in a R&D arrangement

58. NFP Consolidating a For-Profit Subsidiary-Presentation
Questions from members on consolidation have been received by the AICPA Technical Hotline
How would an NFP present a 100% ownership interest in a for-profit subsidiary on its consolidated financial statements?

59. Expert panel suggests
In accordance with presentation requirements of ASC
In an analogous manner that is appropriate for the method of reporting financial performance and financial position in ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities
ASC —as if the consolidated group were a single economic entity
Assets of the for-profit presented in asset section of NFP’s statement of financial position , liabilities of the for-profit subsidiary are presented in the liabilities section, and so forth.
Presentation of equity section of for-profit presented in net assets section of NFP
Dependent upon how ownership interest in the for profit was acquired
If contributed to NFP with a donor imposed restriction, the equity of the NFP would be reported within a restricted net asset class dependent upon the donor’s restriction
Absent donor restrictions, included in UR of the NFP
If for-profit sub was acquired in an exchange transaction, the equity interest would be included in UR

60. Conservation Easements
Questions on proper accounting treatment of conservation easements from members have been received by the AICPA Technical Hotline specifically related to:
Donation of Land with a Conservation Easement
Donations of Conservation Easements

61. Donation of Land with a Conservation Easement
How does an NFP record a donation of land that includes a conservation easement?
Determine Unit of Account
Is land and easement one or two units of account? (consider guidance in ASC )
Consider if easement is specific to land (i.e., is easement an attribute of the land that would transfer to market participant?)
If yes, record land as asset at FV taking into account the restriction (easement)
If land and easement are accounted for as separate assets:
Conservation easement is an intangible asset (noncurrent if the NFP presents a classified balance sheet) at its FV as of donation date
Consider ASC through 45-7 to determine if contribution is UR, TR or PR
If easement is legally attached to land but donor does not stipulate the use of the land, the easement is a legal restriction not a donor restriction
Restrictions that are stipulated by the donor specific to the NFP, are not reflected in the measurement of the land, but rather the classification of the net asset

62. Donations of Conservation Easements
How does an NFP record a donation of a conservation easement (without receiving or possessing an interest in the land)?
As an intangible asset (noncurrent if the NFP presents a classified balance sheet)
At FV as of date of donation
Consider guidance in ASC through 45-7 to determine if contribution revenue should be UR, TR, or PR

63. GIK Headlines

“Controversy Over Drug Values at Aid Groups: A Look at a Key Player”, Chronicle of Philanthropy
“The Alice in Wonderland World of Charity Valuation”, Charity Watchdog
“GIK’s Gone Wild”, TheNonProfitCFO

64. GIK ASC820 Guidance for GIK Valuations
Definition of fair value – “the price that would be received to sell an asset…in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”
Necessary assumptions
Transaction occurs in the principal (or, if absent, most advantageous) market
Transaction costs not included
Highest and best use of asset

65. GIK
Principal Market
US market – Is the US the typical “principal market” based on volume of transactions?
Developed world market :
What GIK would have an international or developed world principal market?
Goods produced for developing world market needs, such as water sachets or mosquito nets.
How to identify developed market values for a reasonable level of effort?

66. Market Participants GIK
Those who are able to transact for the goods in reciprocal transactions
Beneficiaries of programs are not included
Donors are not included because by definition, a donation is a non-reciprocal transaction

67. Highest and Best Use GIK Challenges occur under this concept:
Branded product’s highest and best use may be to sell to market participants who value brand, but product’s utility may be similar to lower valued, unbranded product – does branding impact value?
Branding may be an indication of a different quality product – would higher quality goods which are branded result in higher fair values?
Contrary to “highest and best use”, the perception often is that GIK values should be conservative – should it be conservative, aggressive, or “fair” value?

68. GIK Produce to Give Type Goods
Partnerships between NFPs and corporate donors are on the rise
When goods are produced to give specifically to a NFP, what impact does that have to their value?
Should quality and utility of goods be key indicators of value, or should the intended market place, which in this case is no market, be key in valuation?

69. Proposed / Issued Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) For NFPs
Issues identified as the result of the Expert Panel recognizing practice issues that needed to be addressed to resolve a conflict in practice
Classification of the Sale of Donated Securities in the Statement of Cash Flows –ASU October 2012
Donated Services Received From Employees of an Affiliate

70. Classification of the Sale of Donated Securities in the Statement of Cash Flows
ASU update requires an NFP to classify cash receipts from the sale of donated financial assets consistently with cash donations received in the statement of cash flows if those cash receipts were from the sale of donated financial assets that upon receipt were directed without any NFP-imposed limitations for sale and were converted nearly immediately into cash.
Operating unless restricted to a long-term purpose, e.g., endowment or plant, then classified as financing activities
Consistent with cash contributions

71. Donated Services Received From Employees of an Affiliate
EITF Issue No. 12-B, Donated Services Received From Employees of an Affiliated Entity
Considering change to ASC (NFP AAG paragraph 5.93) - contributed services should be recognized if employees of separately governed affiliated entities regularly perform services (in other than an advisory capacity) for and under the direction of the donee [and the recognition criteria for contributed services are met]

72. Proposed ASU – Affiliate Services
Scenario – services purchased (costs paid) by one affiliate are provided without cost to another, often by personnel being assigned to another affiliate
Potential change – report all services received (paid for by affiliate) at cost

73. Proposed ASU – Affiliate Services
EITF reached a consensus that the expenses related to all personnel services that are regularly performed for the recipient NFP should be recognized in the NFP’s stand-alone financial statements and should be measured at the actual costs incurred by the affiliate under common control
Contributed services criteria would no longer be applied when reimbursement isn’t sought
ED issued for a 60-day comment period, ending September 20th

74. Split Interest Agreements
Initial measurement is FV of assets- FV of liabilities= contribution
FV of assets
Obtaining information from 3rd parties
