“…According to Costa, Ramus, and Andreaus (2011), accountability entails value generation, social responsibility, and financial sustainability. For all parties involved, the accountability process must be transparent in order to examine emotional, ideological, and voluntary commitment in addition to justifying financial allocations (Carvalho et al, 2019). NPOs accountability can be divided into three forms.…”

The role of nonprofit organizations has been acknowledged. They are the providers of services that the government cannot handle alone. Accountability is an obligation to conduct and account for the company's performance. Information disclosure is one of the mechanisms used to be accountable to their stakeholders, which are financial and non-financial information. This study explored the importance of financial and non-financial information in NPOs and the Internet as the medium for disclosing information to stakeholders. This study applied a qualitative research design using content analysis. This research found that both types of information are crucial to NPOs.

Non-profit organizations are an important part of the economy and are needed to fulfill many beneficiary roles that neither market, nor state would fill. Non-profit organizations in Slovakia became important after the 1989 Velvet revolution, the dissolution of the Czechoslovakia and creation of the free and democratic Slovak Republic. Ever since them, non-profit played a role in everyday life of people in Slovakia. Non-profit organizations exist with the aim of providing generally beneficiary services without the aim of making profit for their founders – which is what makes them distinct from for profit businesses. However, non-profit organizations need funding for their operations in the same way as any other organizations. They need to pay their bills, salaries, purchase materials, services, etc. Because of their non-profit nature, the sources of financing for these costs are different. The aim of this paper was to look at the endowment of non-profit organizations and its investment as a source of non-profit financing and the current situation in Slovakia regarding it use. We analysed financial statements of foundations available through Finstat.sk database. We found that the use of investing the endowment for self-financing of non-profit organizations is almost non-existent in conditions of Slovak non-profit sector, with only 13,7% of organizations having any long-term financial assets and only 3,9% having any substantial gains from them. Further, we proposed a framework for possible use of the endowment as a source of funding for more non-profit organizations in order to improve the financial situation and sustainability of the non-profit sector.

“…Basically, every non-profit entity is characterized by its life cycle. The author Carvalho emphasizes in the life cycle of organizations to focus as much as possible on their responsibility as a key factor in securing their mission, through which they can influence the time of their existence in the market [16].…”

Non-profit organizations are a specific type of entities in the national economy that significantly helps to improve the living standards of the country’s population. The article focuses on the financial performance of entities in the non-profit sector of the Slovak Republic depending on the financial instrument of tax allocation, taking into account the time factor during which the entities operate in the non-profit sector. The aim of the article is to analyse the financial performance of non-profit organizations providing services of general interest and foundations with the subsequent specification of the results of the issue. We work with the hypothesis that in terms of financial performance, foundations will perform better compared to non-profit organizations. Segmentation, comparison and descriptive methods were used in the solved issue. Only in one of the analysed groups did we come to the result that the non-profit organization was able to obtain more funds than the foundation through the tax allocation tool in 2019. In the case of the other groups analysed, foundations were more financially efficient, whose performance significantly exceeded that of non-profit organizations. In terms of market life, based on the analysis, the most efficient organizations were organizations with a market life of 1-5 years and with a longer market life, their financial performance decreased. In the case of foundations, we found that the highest performance is achieved by foundations with a market existence of 15 - 20 years. We can therefore state that the established hypothesis was only partially confirmed, although in most cases foundations were more financially efficient.
