碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 會計學系 === 90 === Recently, the corruptions of private universities and colleges have emerged, and attract much concern from the public. This study evaluates the current financial structure of and the financial accounting standards for private universities and colleges. The current financial structure is evaluated by using percentage analysis and relevant financial ratio analysis. To explore this issue more in depth, the study discuss the financial structure based on the scales of size, the organization types, the operating natures, and normal-abnormal separation of private universities and colleges. Besides, this study compares the accounting standards of private universities and colleges with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and provides revise proposals. This study also establishes proper assumptions for private schools’ depreciable fixed assets and observes the effect of the change on the depreciation accounting on the financial ratios. Empirical results show that tuition revenues are the primary income resources of private schools. The subsidies and donations occupy second big share. The expenditures of the instruction and the administration are the major items of the regular expenditures. Fixed assets have the biggest percentage of the total assets, and the current assets and long-term investments are the second and the third respectively; the depreciable assets are about 50％ of the total assets; As a whole, the fluidity of the private schools is sound, and the debt ratio is about 14％; ROA is about 10％, and ROE is about 11％; regular expenditures are about 70％ of total incomes. Under the assumptions of this study, we found that current surplus/ total incomes ratio and debt ratio are greatly affected, and regular expenditures/total incomes ratio, current surplus/total incomes ratio, fixed assets/total assets ratio, and long-term capital/fixed assets ratio are significantly different. According to the results above, this study suggests that the depreciable fixed assets of the private universities and colleges be depreciated during the useful life, and the accounting standards be accordant with GAAP. Last but not the least, we should establish GAAP for the non-profit organizations as soon as possible.
