Questions about Bookkeeping for a non-profit social organization

We're recently elected treasurer of a local social organization and are
being hassled by some accounting types as to how to present financial
data
to the group.  The argument is that we are not following GAAP precisely
and
are doing things like:
(a) reporting P&L and Balance Sheet with mid-month ending dates,
(b) reporting expenses for events where there has been no income for the
current fiscal year,
(c) reporting certain pass-thru donations as "Other Income"

The organization has been doing accrual accounting via QuickBooks for the
last several years.  However, there is no payroll, no inventory, no
customers, no taxes, no receivables, and rarely an accounts payable type
of
transaction.

We feel like our mission is to handle the organization's finances with
care, according to an approved budget, and to provide the members a clear
view of the finances.

So my questions are:
(1) are items (a),(b),(c) above worth worrying about in our situation?
(2) should we be doing cash accounting instead of accrual accounting?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
