Glossary of Working Terms 501 C3 (ALA) – a tax law provision granting exemption from the federal income tax to non-profit organizations. exemptions apply to corporations, and any community chest, fund, or foundation, organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.exemptionreligiouscharitablescientificliteraryeducational 501 C6 (APA) – a tax law provision granting exemption from the federal income tax to non-profit organization that promotes a line of trade or business. This exemption is reserved for business leagues, chambers of commerce, real estate boards or boards of trade etc. The APA is exclusively devoted to a number of functions which cannot be undertaken to a "substantial" extent by the American Library Association, which is organized as a nonprofit educational association under section 501(c)3 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. These functions are (1) the certification of individuals in specializations beyond the initial professional degree and (2) the direct support of comparable worth and pay equity initiatives and other activities (e.g. legislative lobbying) designed to improve salaries of librarians and other library workers. As a 501(c)6 professional association, the ALA-APA is able to serve as a vigorous advocate for America's librarians and other library workers and will be able to offer certifications which will help promote individual status and the quality of library service.exemption Accrual Accounting - An accounting method that measures the performance and position of a company by recognizing economic events regardless of when cash transactions occur. The general idea is that economic events are recognized by matching revenues to expenses (the matching principle) at the time in which the transaction occurs rather than when payment is made (or received).events

Glossary of Working Terms Assets – An item of economic value owned by an individual or organization, that can be converted to cash. Budgetary Ceiling – Except for projects supported by grants to the Association, annual estimates of income shall be based upon the unexpended balance remaining from the previous year plus anticipated revenues for the next budget year. In no case may expenditures be budgeted in excess of the estimates of income arrived at in this manner except for projects supported by grants to the Association. The annual estimates of income and budget objectives for each year are to be submitted to Council for approval. Capital Appreciation – an increase in the market value of an asset (marketable securities) over its original cost. Capital Budget - A detailed plan to secure or finance long-term outlays, for fixed assets such as facilities, furniture, equipment, software and hardware.long-termoutlaysfixed assets Credit* – Entry on the right side of a DOUBLE-ENTRY BOOKKEEPING system that represents the reduction of an ASSET or expense or the addition to a LIABILITY or REVENUE. (See DEBIT.) Debit* - Entry on the left side of a DOUBLE-ENTRY BOOKKEEPING system that represents the addition of an ASSET or expense or the reduction to a LIABILITY or REVENUE. (See CREDIT.) *See slide #27

Glossary of Working Terms Deferred Revenue – Income received but not earned until all events have occurred. Deferred income is reflected as a LIABILITY. Depreciation – Expense allowance made for wear and tear on an ASSET over its estimated useful life. Expenses - In accounting, an expense represents an event in which an asset is used up or a liability is incurred.accountingasset liability Grants & Awards – Funds from government and non-government agencies made available to support specific programs, services and initiatives. Liabilities – a financial obligation, debt, claim, or potential loss – what an organization owes. Long-Term Investment – The active management of a pool of securities, which includes equities, fixed income (bonds) and REIT’S, for the purpose of growing the corpus, assets, and investment resources so as to support current and future Association needs, including scholarships, awards and unique programs that build a strong future for the American Library Association and America’s libraries. Market Value – The value that an asset (marketable securities) can receive, as determined by open bidding between buyers and sellers in a regulated market place ie NYSE Net Asset Balance – The accumulated revenues minus expenses for ongoing operations.

Glossary of Working Terms Operating Budget – Is an annual budget of an activity which includes revenues, expenses, programs etc.budget Operating Cash – The revenue generated from on-going operations from the primary revenue generating units to conduct daily operations.

Glossary of Working Terms Revenues - The amount of money that an organization receives from its activities in a given period, mostly from sales of products and/or services to customers. *Note: conflicts abound as to when revenue should be recognized. The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Concept 5 states that revenues should be recognized when they are “realized or realizable” and “earned”. Revenues are “realized or realizable” when products are exchanged for assets (such as cash) or claims to assets (such as promises to pay). Revenues are “earned” when the entity has performed all duties necessary to the purchaser.Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB)assets Statement of Operations – Same as the income statement, which illustrates the profitability ie revenue less expenses, over a given period of time – monthly, quarterly, annually etc. Statement of Positions – Same as the balance sheet, which gives a snapshot holdings ie assets, liabilities and member equity, on a specific date. Subscription Equivalent – dollar amount transferred from the general administration to Publishing in order offset the net expense of publishing and distributing American Libraries. Variance – The difference between the actual revenue/expense and the budgeted revenue/expense. Yield - The annual rate of return - interest/dividends/appreciation - on an investment, expressed as a percentage.rate of returninvestment
