Exempt Organizations Annual Reporting Requirements - Foreign Activities: Use Method of Accounting Consistent with Other Expense Reporting

 

Should grants reported in Parts II and III of Schedule F, Form 990, be reported on the cash method of accounting?

The organization must use the same accounting method it uses in reporting expenses throughout the Form 990PDF (i.e., the method checked in Part XI, line 1), whether cash or accrual. If the organization is reporting an accrued but unpaid expense in Part II or III of Schedule FPDF, it should report the anticipated manner of cash disbursement in Part II, column (f) and/or Part III, column (e).
