This course examines the core principles and practices of nonprofit accounting and summarizes the accounting requirements and practices of specific types of nonprofit organizations, including hospitals, colleges and universities, health and welfare organizations, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations that receive government assistance in the form of contracts, guaranties, grants, or assistance that may be subject to federal audit requirements.
