The Far North Centre (the Centre) is an anti-poverty organization funded by contributions from governments and the general public. For a number of years, it has been run by a small group of permanent employees with the help of part-timers and dedicated volunteers. It owns its premises, which are in the process of being renovated. The funds for this were obtained through a special capital fund campaign carried out last year. Its main program is the daily provision of meals to the needy. It also distributes clothing, most of which is donated. Operating funds come from government grants, interest earned from endowment investments, and a public campaign held in the latter part of each year to raise funds for the needs of the next fiscal year. The Centre maintains its records in accordance with the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Fund accounting is not used.
The organizations statement of financial position on January 1, Year 6, is shown below.
