Accounts for Non Profit Organsiation

Question:

Identify the account in case of a Not for Profit Organisation that exclude the Capital receipts and Capital payments.

Options:

Receipt and Payment Account

Income and Expenditure Account

Cash Account

Bank Account

Correct Answer:

Income and Expenditure Account

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Income and Expenditure Account

Income and expenditure is just like a profit and loss account which is prepared on accrual basis. It includes only revenue items and the balance at the end represents surplus or deficit. The Income and Expenditure Account serves the same purpose as the profit and loss account of a business organisation does. All the revenue items relating to the current period are shown in this account, the expenses and losses on the expenditure side and incomes and gains on the income side of the account. It shows the net operating result in the form of surplus (i.e. excess of income over expenditure) or deficit (i.e. excess of expenditure over income), which is transferred to the capital fund shown in the balance sheet. Thus, it includes only revenue items not capital items.

* Receipt and payments account include all revenue and capital items whether it is related to past year or present or future.
