FASB ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

Issued in 2024

Update 2024-01: Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The FASB is issuing the amendments in this Update to improve generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718- 10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.

Update 2024-02: Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements.

Issued in 2023

Update 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

Update 2023-08: Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) No. 2023-08 December 2023 Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets.

Update 2023-07: Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (November 2023)

Update 2023-06: Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (October 2023)

Conceptual Framework Update: New Chapter 5 on Recognition and Derecognition (August 2023).

This chapter sets forth recognition and derecognition criteria to guide when an item should be incorporated into and removed from financial statements. This chapter builds on the foundation described in other concepts, bringing those concepts together to apply them to recognition and derecognition issues. 

Update 2023-05: Business Combinations— Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60)

The amendments in this Update address the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to (1) provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital (collectively, investors) in a joint venture’s financial statements and (2) reduce diversity in practice. 

Update 2023-04: Liabilities (Topic 405) No. 2023-04 August 2023 Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 

Proposed Update - Stock Compensation, Scope Appl of Profits Ints Awards (Topic 718) 

The FASB is issuing the amendments in this proposed Update to improve generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity would apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718- 10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation— Stock Compensation.

Proposed Update - Income Taxes, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)

The Board is issuing the amendments in this proposed Update to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Investors, lenders, creditors, and other allocators of capital (collectively, “investors”) have indicated that the existing income tax disclosures should be enhanced to provide information to better assess how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. Investors currently rely on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid in the statement of cash flows, to evaluate income tax risks and opportunities. While investors find these disclosures helpful, they suggested possible enhancements to better (1) understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows.

Update 2023-03: Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) 

The FASB is issuing the amendments in this proposed Update to improve generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity would apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718- 10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation— Stock Compensation.

Update 2023-02: Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (Topic 323)

The FASB is issuing this Accounting Standards Update to allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits.

Update 2023-01: Leases (Topic 842) Common Control Arrangements

Since the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), the Board has prioritized monitoring and assisting stakeholders with the implementation of Topic 842 through its Post-Implementation Review (PIR) process. PIR activities include, but are not limited to, responding to technical accounting inquiries and proactively seeking feedback on issues arising from applying Topic 842. The amendments in this Update respond to private company stakeholders’ concerns about applying Topic 842 to related party arrangements between entities under common control. 

Proposed Update: Intangibles: Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. (See below for more information).

The Board is issuing the amendments in this proposed Update to improve the accounting for and disclosure of certain crypto assets. Stakeholder feedback, including from respondents to the 2021 FASB Invitation to Comment (ITC), Agenda Consultation, indicated that improving the accounting for and disclosure of crypto assets should be a top priority for the Board. Stakeholders stated that the current accounting—except as provided in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain specialized industries—for holdings of crypto assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is a cost-less-impairment accounting model, does not provide investors, lenders, creditors, and other allocators of capital (collectively, “investors”) with decision-useful information. Specifically, reflecting only the decreases, but not the increases, in the value of crypto assets in the financial statements until they are sold does not provide relevant information that reflects (1) the underlying economics of those assets and (2) an entity’s financial position. Certain investors also requested additional disclosures about the types of crypto assets held by entities and changes in those holdings. In addition to better reflecting the economics of crypto assets, measuring those assets at fair value would potentially reduce cost and complexity associated with applying the current cost-less-impairment accounting model.

Issued in 2022

Tentative Board Decisions, October 12, 2022 - Accounting for and disclosure of crypto assets (See Proposed Update above)

The Board decided to require an entity to:

  1. Measure crypto assets at fair value, using the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.
  2. Recognize increases and decreases in fair value in comprehensive income each reporting period.
  3. Recognize certain costs incurred to acquire crypto assets, such as commissions, as an expense (unless the entity follows specialized industry measurement guidance that requires otherwise).

The Board also considered:

  1. Various measurement alternatives for crypto assets with inactive markets and decided not to pursue those alternatives.
  2. Whether to provide implementation guidance relative to the application of fair value measurement of crypto assets and decided not to provide additional measurement guidance as part of this project.
  3. Whether there should be a difference for private companies for the measurement of crypto assets and decided that the measurement and recognition requirements should be the same for all entities.

The Board will consider presentation, disclosure, and transition at a future meeting.
