Each year the relevant tax authority requires most tax-exempt organizations to submit their annual returns and its relations, which includes the following items.

(a) Statement of Activities with very specific operating revenue and expense categories such as charitable donations, grants, unrelated business income, program service expense, support services expense and fund raising expense…

(b) Statement of Financial Position with specific categories such as restricted cash, temporarily restricted assets, payables and accrued expenses…

(c) Statement of Functional Expenses with all the expenses allocated to either program services, fundraising, or support and operations.

(d) Individual Program Expense Schedule that reports all of the expenses for each program or service like seminar programs or educational mailings.

(e) Revenue Support Schedules that detail the organization’s sources of income in specific categories like charitable donations, membership fees, investment income.

The tax authority uses these very specific revenue and expense classifications to determine if your organization will retain its tax-exempt status. So it’s imperative that you build your accounting system around these revenue and expense classifications.
