Nonprofit board treasurer is unsure if accounts receivable should be recognized for future bookings before revenue is earned, causing confusion with financial reporting and QuickBooks AR balance.

QuickBooks shows an AR balance for future bookings, but the accountant claims AR should be zero because revenue is unearned; there is confusion about proper accrual accounting treatment for deposits and future events.
