Nonprofit – Statement of Activities

What is a Statement of Activities for a Nonprofit Organization? Statement of activities reports are considered highly important financial statements and are used by executives and accountants to perform monthly financial analysis. Some of the key functionality in this type of report is that it is parameter driven and can be run for a month and across one or multiple organizational units. The report details revenues and expenses by account. Rows can be expanded by the user to see the individual accounts. The columns provide current period, last year and budget comparisons and variances. The traffic lights helps highlight good and bad variances. The year-to-date (YTD) columns can also be expanded to see the individual months that make up the YTD amounts. You find an example of this type of report below.

When used as part of good business practices in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) department, an organization can improve its analysis and related decision-making as well as reduce the chances that managers lose sight of important variances and trends.
