PREREQUISITES: ACCTG 641 (Accounting Theory and History)
Course Objective:
An introduction to the source of authoritative guidance, rules and regulations that govern current reporting to external entities by not-for-profit entities.
Students Responsibilities:
You must learn to interpret problem material, take a position on the various aspects of the problem, and communicate your solution. If you don't understand something, PLEASE ASK about it. All material assigned, whether discussed in class or not, and all material discussed in class is subject to examination.

Your study for each class period should involve three stages:
  1. preparation for class: specific assignment and general understanding,
  2. attention in class focusing on enlarging your knowledge from your class preparation, and
  3. consolidation of information from items 1 and 2 and study for long-term retention.


The assignment sheet is tentative and it is the student's responsibility to keep up with changes as they are made during class periods.

Class attendance, preparation, and participation are highly recommended and will be evaluated in borderline cases at the end of the semester.

In the event that grade records and/or exams are unavailable for final grade determination purposes at the end of the semester, the entire grade for the course will be based upon a comprehensive final examination.
Exams:
Two exams will be given during regular class time. A 100 point section exam will be given according to the university final schedule. Make-up exams will be given only for very valid reasons PRIOR to the exam.
Project:
Complete the Financial Statements Project and submit it not later than Monday, November 18. Maximum possible points for the project are 40. Refer to separate handout for specific requirements.
Exams:
Homework will be collected and checked at the beginning of the class period on a random basis. Credit will be given only to homework submitted during the check period at the beginning of class. Late homework is considered to be NO homework. Substantially complete assignments will receive 6 points. Total possible points for homework are 30 and yours will be collected at least 6 times during the semester.
Kansas State University Undergraduate Honor System:
Kansas State University has an Undergraduate Honor System based on personal integrity which is presumed to be sufficient assurance in academic matters one's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Undergraduate Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Undergraduate Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning.

A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by undergraduate students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: " On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work."

It is expected in all academic work in this class that all work be done individually by you. Do not collaborate on any academic work unless specifically approve by your instructor.

The last date to drop a course without a "W" is September 30 and the last date a course may be dropped is November 1.

If you have any condition, such as a physical or learning disability, which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as I have outlined it or which will require academic accommodations, please notify me in the first two weeks of the course.
