Study Notes: Entrance Fees

Free study material for CA Foundation Principles & Practice of AccountingFinancial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations

Entrance Fees are one-time payments made by members upon joining the NPO. Accounting Treatment: Entrance fees are recognized as income in the period received (cash basis) or when earned (accrual basis). For Perpetuity: Entrance fees that benefit the organization indefinitely (e.g., capital building) may be capitalized in Balance Sheet as a Fund rather than expensed immediately. Capital Nature: Entrance fees often used for capital purchases like building/equipment; treatment may differ from revenue items. Formula: Entrance Fees Income = Opening Arrears + Cash Received - Closing Arrears. Arrears and Advances: Outstanding entrance fees (not yet received) are accrued, Entrance fees received in advance are deferred. Allocation to periods: If entrance fee is meant to cover specific benefits/membership period, allocate proportionately. Treatment in I&E Account: Entrance fees shown as income in the period earned/received; if capitalized, may be shown separately in Balance Sheet. Balance Sheet: Entrance fee arrears shown as Current Asset, Entrance fee advances/received but unutilized shown as Liability or in Capital/Fund section. Write-off: Entrance fees determined uncollectible are written off as expense after reasonable collection attempts. Exam tip: Understand the capital vs revenue distinction for entrance fees; practice accruing outstanding fees; distinguish between arrears and advances; know how to treat entrance fees if capitalized separately.
