| Form 990, Header, Line A | The YPO Gold Euro Chapter is a separate corporation from the Young Presidents Organization, Inc. (12-1770417) but is included in its 501c6 blanket exemption number 7096. In April 2017, the Chapter was incorporated in Pennsylvania after having been previously domiciled in Sweden. Most of the Chapter members are European and most of the Chapter events are held in Europe. The Chapter accounts are primarily denominated in Euros since program service fees and event fees are collected in the form of Euros. Euro funds are either deposited at the Wise Europe SA Bank in Brussels, Belgium or converted to USD and deposited at PNC Bank N. A. in Pittsburgh. At year end, all accounts are revalued in USD as per IRS regulation which results in currency gains or losses which are reflected in the Profit and Loss Statement. |

| Form 990, Part IX, Line 24a - 24d | Since the Chapter invoices event participants approximately one year in advance, the fees collected are not recorded as income but rather are recognized as deferred revenue. A corresponding deferred program expense is recorded. Depending upon the balance at the end of the year, this amount is adjusted to actual at the end of the year and offset by any prepaid future program expenses. Members are permitted to cancel attendance and request fee refunds in varying amounts depending upon the closeness to the date of the event. This can create negative program fee amounts per event, within a fiscal year. |
