Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Unlike other government and not-for-profit (NFP) books, this one is directed at potential users rather than preparers of financial reports. It demonstrates the significance of reported information and shows users (managers, investors, taxpayers, legislators, trustees) how to interpret and analyze accounting information.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From the Back Cover
Orlando Science Center (featured on the cover of this text) is not only a highly successful not-for-profit organization, it's also located in the first city to incorporate the latest GASB pronouncements!
REVIEW ORLANDO'S COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT ON CD-ROM
Now packaged with a free CD-ROM containing Orlando's comprehensive annula financial report (CARF) for 2000, Granof's Second Edition of GOVERNMENT AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ACCOUNTING takes a fresh look at the unique features of governmental and not-for-profit accounting. The new edition is also completely revised and updated with:
- The latest GASB pronouncements through Statement No. 36 and Interpretation No. 6
- The new accounting model, which is integrated throughout the text
- Recent updates to the Single Audit Act and Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board pronouncements
You can use the accompanying CD-ROM to search Orlando's CAFR, to obtain hands-on experience in reviewing and analyzing data, and to solve the continuing problem that appears at the end of every chapter in the book.

Government Accounting,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting: Concepts and Practices (Hardcover)
Okay, government and not for profit accounting is one of the most confusing things I have ever seen or read about. I now know where my tax dollars are going. There are too many steps that the government takes just for even simple journal entries. This accounting is too confusing as well as cost accounting.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting: Concepts and Practices (Hardcover)
Got the book in record time and even tho it was used it was
like new. If the shipper had provided shipping tracking info at the time it shipped it would have been a perfect transaction. As it was, I was left to wonder; "I wonder if they really shipped it when they said, or did they just think about it!"
