The activities of non-profit organizations are focused on the public interest and most of them are organized through associations. The Ministry of Finance maintains a Register of non-profit organizations in which their financial statements are published. The research in this paper is focused on the activities of associations in Međimurje County. Međimurje is a Croatian "island" surrounded by the rivers Mura and Drava and an area that nurtures its tradition and culture through numerous cultural and artistic associations. Numerous sports associations and other associations whose members are connected by a common interest are also active. The focus of this paper is on the activities of amateur associations and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their work with an emphasis on the impact on their financial and accounting operations. Social life has been reduced to a minimum, as have the activities of various associations, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is more than obvious. Associations have been forced to organize their work remotely, and there are few where this is possible. The analysis was conducted through several active associations that have a continuity of activities over several years and that are up-to-date and transparent in financial reporting. The methodology is based on reviewing several associations which have a continuity of activities over several years and that are up to date and transparent in financial reporting. An analysis of their reports for 2019 and 2020 will show the impact of the current crisis on their activities and financial operations and whether there have been significant changes in the financial condition and sources of funds. The conclusion indicates that the associations have been affected by the pandemic but some of them still managed to realize some of their activities, but on a much smaller scale than in previous years.
