A National Imperative: Joining Forces to Strengthen Human Services in America (Jan 2018)
Exhibit 6. Percentile distribution of months of unrestricted net assets CBOs have on hand to cover operating expenses. As with cash reserves, months of unrestricted net assets indicates the number of months a CBO could continue to operate and cover its expenses, on average, using its unrestricted assets. An alternative view of reserves size, unrestricted net assets may in some cases overstate the size of reserves, as when assets are not immediately liquid. For analysis, CBOs are segmented by size, geographic region, quartile of state social services spending, and types of services provided.
