A Foundation can be said as an organization established not to get just profit (non-profit) although in its progress the foundation needs a lot of fund earned from business activity. It means that the business activity is merely to provide fund, not as a major activity of the foundation. Therefore, itâs needed supervision on the foundation which can be done together with the community as stakehorders. Hence, financial transparency in the form of financial statement publication to public must be one of the arranged obligations.
PSAK No. 45 which regulate the financial statement of non-profit organization has the same spirit, that is financial transparency of the organization requires consistent recording and reporting standard and it can be compared with PSAK. Itâs expected that the organization will be able to manage financial information more professionally and the information yielded has more quality.

In the way to present the report, the foundation still provide it as a commercial organization reporting in general, that is just as balance of finance and profit-loss reporting.
