Accounting Technician. One benefit of structuring accounting this way is that you can control your chart of accounts — the list of income and expense categories. These two cost centers are important components of understanding true costs and are created in parallel with the programs.
The terms direct and indirect costs are used with widely varying definitions in the accounting world. For our purposes, we define indirect costs as those expenses that support the overall management of the organization — often called administrative costs or management and general costs.
Indirect expenses include the costs of accounting, board meetings, general liability insurance, and other costs associated with running the organization as a whole. This distinction has been problematic for many nonprofits because of the simplistic idea that common costs such as rent, utilities, and technology are all indirect costs, or overhead. The accurate definition for direct costs is those costs that are required to carry out a program or function.
Direct costs may be devoted to one program but more often are shared by more than one program. Rent, for example, is a direct cost for all programs that make use of the facility to plan, manage, and deliver the program services based on how much of the space they use.
The portion of rent that is for space used for general administration is categorized as indirect. Fundraising may also have direct costs or receive an allocated portion of a direct cost, as will be explained later. Sometimes direct costs will be allocated to all program areas and cost centers, including fundraising and administration.
We will discuss the allocation of both direct and indirect costs later in the process. This step asks you to take a fresh look at the list of expenses and identify all of the direct and indirect costs.
The best allocation methods are reasonable and justifiable while also being simple enough to calculate and maintain over time. An example would be the cost of office supplies that are used by all of our programs and by fundraising and administration.
Rather than counting every pen we look for a reasonable basis on which to share the expense proportionally. Other methods may also be appropriate and useful if there is a reasonable connection between the method and the actual use of the resources or expense. The chart on the next page can help you select allocation methods.
Given the significance of personnel expenses to our finances, allocating these costs is essential to understanding true costs. How does each member of the staff spend their time?
Many Executive Directors spend a substantial amount of time working directly in programs. Ideally, salary allocations will be based on regular, reliable tracking of time.
The data is already available for nonprofits that track time for grants and contracts. If that has not been your practice we urge you to gather some accurate information by completing a timekeeping report or adding time reporting to payroll or database records. We know from experience that allocating time based on general estimates or gut feeling is often inaccurate. The goal of program-based budgets and allocations is to gain a solid understanding of the true costs, and staff cost is too important to leave to guesswork.
When an expense is clearly and exclusively incurred for a specific program area or cost center, we simply assign the expense to that program area or cost center. Examples might include materials purchased specifically for a tutoring program or the cost of an evaluation consultant to document the results of a preschool program. Administration and fundraising may have direct expenses assigned to them as well.
The cost of an annual audit would be assigned to administration. The cost of return envelopes to be included in a fundraising mailing would be assigned directly to fundraising. In this step you apply the allocation methods described above to the various direct costs that are shared between programs, which may include administration and fundraising cost centers.
For the earlier office supply example, you would add up how many FTEs work in each program area and calculate a formula as a percent of the total number of staff. Understanding the true, full cost of delivering programs and services is essential for management decisions, program design, and effective fund development.
This webinar provides an introduction to calculating program costs and an overview of tools that will help you understand your true program costs and develop realistic budgets. I am a cultural anthropologist-turned-lender and financial specialist. I enjoy partnering with fantastic nonprofit clients to build capacities around capital management and financial sustainability while simultaneously learning much about money myself.
