“In may 2014, the fasb added topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers to establish principles to report useful information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. This standard supersedes or replaces nearly all gaap revenue recognition guidance. These standards establish a new contract and control-based revenue recognition model, change the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, and expand disclosures about revenue. The organization has implemented topic 606 during fiscal year 2020. In june 2018, the fasb amended the not-for-profit entities topic of the accounting standards codification to clarify and improve the scope and the accounting guidance for contributions received and made, primarily by not- for-profit organizations. This standard assists entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as contributions or exchange transactions and determining whether a contribution is conditional. The organization has implemented the provision of asu 2018-08 under a modified prospective basis. Prior period results were not restated, and there has been no cumulative- effect adjustment to the opening balance of net assets at the beginning of the year, in accordance with the requirements of fasb asu 2018-08. Under the previous guidance, the organization would have recorded both current year neh operations grant revenues and grants receivable as of october 31, 2020 of 894,996. However, under asu 2018-08, no such revenues or receivables were recorded for neh operations awards during the fiscal year ended october 31, 2020.”
