AbstractIn Hong Kong, there have been no official guidelines issued concerning the financial reporting for not-for-profits organisations (NPO). Without the aid of a framework, financial reporting for NPO is bound to be problematic. The objectives of this paper are to: carry out a simple survey on NPOs' reporting practices so that existing reporting problems experienced by the profession could be addressed; discuss the implications from the observed diversities; explore the possiblity of applying the traditional conceptual framework recommended by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the NPO environment; and suggest future financial reporting direction for NPO.
