COST ALLOCATION

Allocation of your expenses can be one of the trickiest parts of nonprofit accounting. What method do you use? How do you allocate your costs in your accounting system? Some funding agencies may have their own rules about allocating funds to the projects they fund. This session will cover some accounting system set up and go over methods for identifying the allocation process that will work best for your organization. Do your funding sources include government? Do you and your board want to see a better breakdown of how costs are distributed in order to make more fully informed decisions? Come to this session - and it will all add up.
