Basis of Accounting
The organization’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the cash basis.  Under this basis, revenue is recognized when collected rather than when earned and expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed whereas major repairs and betterments are capitalized.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

The organization has approximately 563 members contributing on a regular basis.

ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported  amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

DONATED SERVICES Donated services are recognized as contributions in accordance with SFAS No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, if the services (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or (b) require specialized skills, are performed by people with those skills, and would otherwise be purchased by the Mountain  Top Historical Society of Greene County, Inc..
