Mastering Fund Accounting: A Comprehensive Guide

Fund accounting is a specialized form of accounting used by organizations that receive and spend money in order to accomplish specific objectives, such as non-profit organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions. Mastering fund accounting is essential for these organizations to track and report on how their funds are being used.
