shown as well. 

Making things more complicated, this new liability will need to be recorded as a loan with an imputed interest rate used to record a portion of each monthly lease payment as interest expense.

Seriously, this represents the biggest change in years in accounting and will have dramatic effects on your financial statements! If you are wondering:

• Does this really affect my little old nonprofit? (Spoiler Alert – yes, it does!)
• Does this include things like cam charges, maintenance, taxes, etc…?
• What happens if I end my lease early?
• Where do I point the monthly rent checks to?
• Won’t this make my liabilities on my balance sheet look huge now?
• Will I still show rent expense on my Profit and Loss?
• What the heck is an imputed interest rate and what rate should I use?
• And finally…how do I do this in QuickBooks?

WHY COME: Whether you are a nonprofit bookkeeper, a CPA, or simply doing the books for your nonprofit, you are now required to implement this change in order to be in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. If you don’t learn this from us, learn it somewhere soon!
