The accounting standard HFA 21, which has been used by Wikimedia for years, stipulates that donations are only booked as income when they have been spent. For better understanding, a presentation of the flow of donations has been added. This shows how many donations have not yet been used, how many donations have been received from which source and how many donations have been used.
