2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Revenue recognition STARS follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions where activity in externally restricted funds is segregated from general operations.

STARS recognizes unrestricted donations when the amounts to be received can be reasonably estimated and ultimate collection is reasonably assured.

Income received and costs incurred prior to a fundraising event's completion date are recorded as deferred revenue and expenses.

Restricted contributions to a restricted Capital Campaign are recognized as revenue in the designated capital fund in the period received.

Funding received from government, including regional health authorities, is considered to be a contribution. Program cost recoveries are considered other revenues.
