Characteristic of G&NP OrganizationsGovernment and other non-profit organizations are unique in the following ways:•They do not attempt to earn profit – and most are exempt from income taxes – so typical business accounting, including income tax accounting usually is not appropriate;•They are owned collectively by their constituents – and because ownership is not evidenced by equity shares that can be sold or traded – residents who are dissatisfied with their government usually must await a change in its elected governing body or move elsewhere

Characteristic of G&NP Organizations (2)Government and other non-profit organizations are unique in the following ways:•Those contributing financial resources to the organizations do not necessarily receive a direct or proportionate share of their services. For example homeowners pay property taxes to finance public schools even if they do not have children in school.•Their major policy decisions and perhaps some operating decisions, typically are made by majority vote of an elected or appointed governing body (e.g. a local legislature or a hospital board of directors) whose members serve part time, receive modest or no compensation, and have diverse background, philosophies, capabilities and interests.

Major types of GNP*:• Governmental: Central, local, municipal, township, village and
other local governmental authorities and special districts;• Educational: kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools,
vocational and technical school and colleges and universities.• Health and welfare: hospitals, child protection agencies, the
Indonesia Red Cross (PMI)• Religious: Salvation Army, Dompet Dhuafa• Charitable: Dana Kemanusiaan Kompas (DKK) and similar fund-
raising agencies;• Foundations: private trusts and corporations organized for
educational, religious or charitable purposes;• Non government organisations: Indonesia Corruption Watch
(ICW), YLBHI, Kontras etc

*This general classification scheme has much overlap among the classification. Many charitable organisations are operated by mosque/churches, and governments are deeply involved in education, health and welfare activities.
The G&NP EnvironmentG&NP organizations are similar in many ways to profit-seeking enterprise. For example:•They are integral part of the same economic system an use financial, capital and human resources to accomplish their purposes;•Both must acquire and convert scarce resources into their respective good and services•Both must have viable information system, including excellent accounting system to assure that managers, governing bodies and others receive relevant and timely information for planning, controlling and evaluating sources;•Cost analysis and other control and evaluation techniques are essential to ensure that resources are utilized economically, effectively and efficiently;•In some cases, both produce similar product. For example: both governments and private enterprise may own and operate transportation systems, sanitation services and electric utilities.

How Do Governmental and Not-For-Profit Organizations Differ From Business Organizations?
For businesses, annual report is the most significant financial document. For governments and non-profits, budget is very important. Budget is the culmination of the political process.
Need to ensure inter-period equity for most governments and non-profits. Revenues may not be linked to constituent demand or satisfaction. No direct link between revenues and expenses. Many of the assets of government and non-profits are restricted to particular
activities and purposes. No distinguished ownership interests. Less distinction between internal and external accounting and reporting.

Power ultimately rests in the hands of the people
People vote and delegate that power to public officials
Created by and accountable to a higher level government – ex. State Governments are accountable to Federal Governments while City Governments are accountable to State Governments, etc.
Power to tax citizens for revenue
