This discussion clarifies fund-based accounting for not-for-profit organisations (NPOs). When an NPO receives funds specifically to create an asset, the amount is transferred to a capital reserve upon asset creation. This is not considered income because the funds are restricted and cannot be used for general revenue expenses. The conversation also briefly touches on career advice in finance.

Respected Sir , my question is that when NPO receives fund for creating assets then when asset is created equal amount is transferred to capital reserve but why it is not income for NPO as it is getting asset free of cost ?
