What Your Nonprofit Should Know About Credit Loss Reporting Rules

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13 seems like it would be old news. However, the provision for accounting for current expected credit loss (CECL) went into effect for not-for-profits in calendar years ending in 2023 and fiscal years ending in 2024.

A projected unified GOP Congress is poised to help him notch early legislative tax victories.
