Overview
This Section establishes disclosure standards for collections held by not-for-profit organizations. Collections are works of art, historical treasures or similar assets that are: (i) held for public exhibition, education or research; (ii) protected, cared for and preserved; and (iii) subject to an organizational policy that requires any proceeds from their sale to be used to acquire other items to be added to the collection or for the direct care of the existing collection. Although the capitalization of collections is not required, it is not precluded. The Section prescribes specific disclosures for collections held by a not-for-profit organization including a description of the collection, the accounting policy followed and the amount of expenditures on the collection in the period.
