Quick Summary
This discussion explores how non-governmental organisations (NGOs) should account for a bus received as a donation through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The core question is whether to record the bus at its market value of £12 lakh or at a nominal cost of £1, given that the NGO acquired it for free. Participants debated recognising it as an asset and income, with the consensus leaning towards recording the asset at its market value.

At What amount should it be recorded? Market Value or Cost?.. 12lakh or nominal value of 1Rs?
The actual amount received
No amount was received, it is donation in kind. shoul it be recorded in market value or 1rs?
The cost of the bus should be recognized as an receipt /income and treated as a PPE in the books of the NGO

The cost of the bus should be brought in. An asset can not cost 0.
So at market price?
