Essay

Below are the complete set of published financial statements taken from the annual report of the Hillsdale Museum. The statements do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles for private not-for-profits in a number of ways. Review these statements and describe instances in which the statements fail to comply with accepted accounting standards. You must be able to justify your assertions - for example you cannot say they failed to capitalize if there is no evidence they have a qualifying lease.
