It receives some funding from the government, but most of its funding comes from donations and bequests. It uses the deferral method to account for contributions and an encumbrance system to control expenditures. For simplicity, UH accounts for all of its activities through an operations fund. UH has provided the following selected transactions for the current year: a. At the beginning of the year, UH unexpectedly received $1,000,000 from the government to purchase three monitoring machines. UH immediately purchased the machines. Since UH purchased the machines as soon as the funds were received, it did not prepare a purchase order for them. At the end of the year, UH took depreciation of $200,000 on the machines. b. UH's annual Christmas fundraising gala generated $3,011,000 in cash and $820,000 in pledges.

Why do states and the federal government exercise oversight responsibility over not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporations? A generous benefactor pledges $1 million to The Smith Foundation, a NPO that promotes the arts. The gift is to be used to provide scholarships for talented musicians at a music camp operated by the Foundation. The gift was given in August 2006 to support the Summer 2007 music program. The Foundation Director argues that the gift is a conditional restricted gift and therefore cannot be recognized as revenue in 2006. The accountant argues that the gift is an unconditional restricted gift and must be recognized in the current year. What is the basis for the Director’s argument?
