Description

This data file contains institutional finance data for institutions that use accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) .

This information provides context for understanding the cost and resources of providing postsecondary education. It is used to calculate the contribution of postsecondary education to the gross national product.

Amendments

Beginning with fiscal year 2016 detailed expenditures by function and the natural classifications of fringe benefits, operations and maintenance of plant, depreciation and interest are no longer available.

Institutions

All private not-for-profit institutions are included in this file. There are some public institutions that use the FASB model and are also included.

Data Layout

Finance data includes institutional revenues by source, expenditures by functional categories, expenditures by natural classification categories, endowments, and assets and liabilities.

Glossary

Total current assets

Includes cash and equivalents, investments, accounts and notes receivable (net of allowance for uncollectible amounts), inventories, and all other assets classified as current assets as discussed in Chapter 2 of Accounting Research Bulletin 43.

Beginning with FY2013 (Fiscal Year 2013), GASB statements 63,65 required institutions to display deferred inflows and outflows of resources on their Statement of Net Position. Thus from FY2014 to FY2016, current assets included deferred outflows of resources. Beginning with FY2016, deferred outflows of resources was collected separately from current assets.

Depreciable capital assets, net of depreciation

The net amount of all depreciable capital assets after reducing the gross amount for accumulated depreciation.

Capital assets

These assets consist of land and land improvements, buildings, building improvements, machinery, equipment, infrastructure, and all other assets that are used in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond one year. Also includes collections of works of art and historical treasure and library collections; however under certain conditions such collections may not be capitalized. Includes property acquired under capital leases and intangible assets such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, goodwill, and software. Excluded are assets that are part of endowment funds or other capital fund investments in real estate period.

GASB institutions classify net position into three categories: invested in capital, net of related debt; restricted (with separate displays of restricted-expendable and restricted-nonexpendable net assets); and unrestricted. Net position beginning with the 2013-14 collection includes deferred inflows and outflows of resources, per GASB 63,65. This term is similar to the "Net assets" term used by FASB institutions.
