Section PS 4250 - Reporting controlled and related entities by not-for-profit organizations

Effective date:

January 1, 2012

Published by the PSAB:

December 2010, except for subsequent amendments

 

Overview 

This Section establishes standards for the presentation and disclosure of controlled, significantly influenced and other related entities in the financial statements of not-for-profit organizations.

Not-for-profit organizations can have many different types of relationships with other entities, both not for profit and profit oriented. An organization may have control over another entity. When the relationship falls short of control, the organization may instead have significant influence over the other entity. Economic interest is a concept unique to relationships among not-for-profit organizations. It may be an indicator of either control or significant influence. Alternatively, an economic interest may exist without control or significant influence.
