FAQs
What is fund accounting?
Fund accounting is a method used by non-profit organizations to track and manage money based on its purpose or restrictions. Instead of focusing on profit, it ensures that the funds received such as donations, grants, or program budgets are used for their intended activities. Each "fund" acts like a separate account, helping non-profits maintain transparency and accountability.
Are fund accounting & non-profit accounting the same?
No, they are not the same. Non-profit accounting is a broader term that includes all financial processes used by non-profits, such as tracking income, expenses, and reporting. Fund accounting is a specific approach within non-profit accounting that focuses on tracking restricted and unrestricted funds separately. While all organizations using fund accounting are non-profits, not all non-profits require full fund accounting systems.
Does Zoho Books help accept & track donations?
