Programmatic Investments: Not-for-Profit Accounting & Financial Reporting

Overview

This CPE course is included in the comprehensive Not-for-Profit Certificate I Program. It can also be purchased individually or as a part of the Not-for-Profit Accounting and Financial Reporting track.

Some not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) provide benefits to their constituencies in the form of programmatic investments such as loans, equity interests, and guarantees. For the NFP investor, the principal benefits are the achievement and sustainability of the mission-related program. In this CPE course, you will learn about the core considerations for accounting and reporting of various types of programmatic investments. You will have an opportunity to work through some real-world scenarios.
