SOP 85-1: implications for health care organizations
Article Abstract:
The accounting and reporting techniques used by nonprofit medical care organizations for tax-exempt debt and for monies with limited use have been evaluated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Consequently, by 1985, Statement of Position (SOP) 85-1 was made official. The SOP gives help to nonprofit medical care organizations in three definite areas: a financial authority's long-term debt reporting, accounting for both restricted and general funds, and reporting investment income and interest that is related in the financial statements.
