• Proposed ASUs that would (1) align certain FASB Codification guidance with SEC disclosure requirements, (2) simplify the accounting for income taxes, and (3) amend certain aspects of the FASB’s guidance on credit losses.

Further, in May, the SEC released proposed rules that would amend:

Featured Deloitte Publications

In the second quarter of 2019, Deloitte released the following new and updated Roadmaps:

• A Roadmap to the Preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows (2019) — Provides Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of the accounting guidance on the statement of cash flows, primarily that in ASC 230.4 The 2019 update reflects the amendments to ASC 230 made by ASUs 2016-155 and 2016-18,6 which clarify guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash flows. The 2019 edition also incorporates interpretations and guidance related to the new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02.7

• A Roadmap to Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests (2019) — Provides Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of the guidance on noncontrolling interests, primarily that in ASC 810-10 and ASC 480-10-S99. The 2019 edition of this Roadmap reflects new and updated guidance and examples as well as minor clarifications.

• A Roadmap to Consolidation — Identifying a Controlling Financial Interest (2019) — Serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating the frequently complex consolidation accounting models. The 2019 edition reflects the amendments in ASU 2018-178 related to the private-company alternative as well as the alignment of certain assessments performed as part of the consolidation analysis.

• A Roadmap to Accounting and Financial Reporting for Carve-Out Transactions (2019) — Summarizes key considerations related to the preparation of “carve-out financial statements,” a general term used to describe financial statements derived from the

financial statements of a larger parent entity. In the 2019 edition, a few updates and clarifications are made in response to SEC activity and practice developments.

• A Roadmap to the Issuer’s Accounting for Convertible Debt (2019) — Provides an overview of the requirements in ASC 470-20 related to convertible debt, which are frequently complex and time-consuming to apply. Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of how to apply these requirements in practice are accompanied by the related authoritative text and other relevant literature.

• A Roadmap to SEC Reporting Considerations for Business Combinations (2019) — Combines the SEC’s guidance on reporting for business acquisitions — including acquisitions of real estate operations and pro forma financial information — with Deloitte’s interpretations (Q&As) and examples in a comprehensive, reader-friendly format. Because the SEC made no significant changes to its guidance on reporting for business acquisitions since the issuance of last year’s Roadmap, most of the updates in the 2019 update expand on or clarify existing text. The new edition also discusses the SEC’s proposed rule that would amend the financial statement requirements for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, including real estate operations, and related pro forma financial information.

In addition, Deloitte inaugurated an Accounting Spotlight newsletter series in the second quarter of 2019. These newsletters, published as warranted, analyze key issues related to the implementation of accounting guidance on selected topics, such as revenue recognition.

Another notable Deloitte publication issued in the second quarter of 2019 was a Heads Up addressing key themes the SEC focused on in its comment letters to registrants about their application of the accounting and disclosure requirements in the FASB’s new revenue standard, ASC 606, which became effective for calendar-year-end public business entities in the first quarter of 2018.

intended to enable “organizations to recognize fewer items as separate intangible assets in acquisitions and to account for goodwill in a more cost-effective manner.” Under the ASU, NFP entities are allowed to forgo testing goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting level and to instead use an accounting alternative in which:

• Impairment is tested “upon a triggering event.”

• An entity has “the option to elect to test for impairment at the entity level.”

SEC Amends the Single Issuer Exemption for Broker-DealersAffects: Broker-dealers.

Summary: On June 10, 2019, the SEC issued a final rule45 that clarifies the scope of an existing exemption under which a broker-dealer is not required to “engage an independent public accountant to certify the broker-dealer’s annual reports filed with the Commission if, among other things, the securities business of the broker-dealer has been limited to acting as broker (agent) for a single issuer in soliciting subscriptions for securities of that issuer.”

Next Steps: The final rule will become effective on August 13, 2019.

SEC Issues Guidance Related to Retail Investors’ Relationships With Financial ProfessionalsAffects: Investment advisers and broker-dealers.

Summary: On June 5, 2019, the SEC released a package of rules and interpretations that are “designed to enhance the quality and transparency of retail investors’ relationships with investment advisers and broker-dealers, bringing the legal requirements and mandated disclosures in line with reasonable investor expectations, while preserving access (in terms of choice and cost) to a variety of investment services and products.” The package includes:

• Final rule46 on standard of conduct for broker-dealers — Establishes a “new standard of conduct specifically for broker-dealers that substantially enhances the broker-dealer standard of conduct beyond existing suitability obligations.”

• Final rule47 on relationship summaries — Requires investment advisers and broker-dealers “to deliver a relationship summary to retail investors at the beginning of their relationship.”

• Interpretation48 on standard of conduct for investment advisers — Reaffirms and clarifies “the Commission’s views of the fiduciary duty that investment advisers owe to their clients under the Advisers Act.”

• Interpretation49 on the “solely incidental” exclusion — Discusses the provision of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that “excludes from the definition of ‘investment adviser’ any broker or dealer that provides advisory services when such services are ‘solely incidental’ to the conduct of the broker or dealer’s business and when such incidental advisory services are provided for no special compensation.”

Next Steps: The rules will become effective 60 days after the date of their publication in the Federal Register, while the interpretations will become effective on the date of their publication in the Federal Register.

CAQ Releases Highlights of CAQ SEC Regulations Committee’s March 2019 Joint Meeting With the SEC StaffAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: In May 2019, the CAQ published highlights of the March 20, 2019, CAQ SEC Regulations Committee joint meeting with the SEC staff. Topics discussed at the meeting included:

• Individually tailored non-GAAP financial measures.

• Emerging growth company (EGC) transition requirements for new accounting standards.

• Presentation of the contractual obligations table upon adoption of the new leasing standard, ASC 842.

• Presentation of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) after the adoption of ASC 842.

• The requirements in Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05,50 for EGCs submitting a draft registration statement for an IPO.

• Impact of ASC 842 on significance tests under Rule 3-05.

• Financial statement schedules for an investee under Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09.51

• The requirement to file a Form 8-K under Item 2.01 when a waiver for Rule 3-05 financial statements has been obtained.

SEC Proposes to Ease Qualifications for Nonaccelerated Filer StatusAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On May 9, 2019, the SEC issued a proposed rule52 that would amend the definitions of “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” to exclude any issuer with both annual revenues of less than $100 million and public float of less than $700 million. The proposed amendments, which are intended to promote capital formation while maintaining investor protection, would expand the number of issuers that qualify as nonaccelerated filers and are thus eligible to take advantage of certain reporting accommodations offered to such issuers. The most significant of these accommodations is the elimination of the requirement that an issuer obtain an audit report on ICFR from its independent auditor, as currently required under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed rule are due by July 29, 2019.

SEC Proposes Improvements to Disclosures for Business Acquisitions and DispositionsAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On May 3, 2019, the SEC issued a proposed rule53 that would amend the financial statement requirements for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, including real estate operations, and related pro forma financial information. In addition, the proposed rule would

Page 15: Quarterly Accounting Roundup - iasplus.com · 6 FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. 7 FASB Accounting

15

amend the financial disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies (SRCs) and investment companies. The proposal is intended to improve the information investors receive regarding acquired or disposed businesses, reduce the complexity and costs of preparing the required disclosures, and facilitate timely access to capital.

The proposed rule would:

• Change the investment test to require use of the aggregate worldwide market value of the registrant’s common equity.

• Change the income test to require use of the lower of (1) income from continuing operations after taxes or (2) revenue.

• Reduce required acquiree annual financial statement periods to a maximum of the two most recent fiscal years.

• Result in fewer circumstances in which acquiree financial statements would be required for an IPO and for individually insignificant acquirees.

• Permit the use of abbreviated financial statements for an acquiree in certain circumstances without a request for SEC staff permission.

• Allow the use of, or reconciliation to, IFRS Standards in certain circumstances.

• Amend the pro forma financial disclosure requirements related to (1) transaction accounting adjustments and (2) management’s adjustments (e.g., reasonably estimable synergies and other impacts of an acquisition).

• Align certain requirements for a real estate acquiree with those in Rule 3-05.

• Raise the significance threshold for reporting dispositions of a business from 10 percent to 20 percent to conform the threshold with that of a significant acquisition.

• Make other changes specific to SRCs and investment companies.

The changes summarized above could be significant for some registrants. However, many elements of Rule 3-05 would be retained under the proposed rule. For example, although some significance tests would be modified, the proposed rule would not change certain bright-line significance thresholds since, as explained in the proposal, such tests can allow registrants to evaluate significance more quickly than judgment-based models can.

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed rule are due by July 29, 2019.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s May 9, 2019, Heads Up. Also see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

SEC Staff Issues Guidance on Investment Contract Analysis of Digital AssetsAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On April 3, 2019, the SEC staff issued guidance54 that contains a “framework for analyzing whether a digital asset has the characteristics of one particular type of security – an ‘investment contract.’ ” In a public statement about the guidance, the staff noted that “[t]he framework is not intended to be an exhaustive overview of the law, but rather, an analytical tool to help market participants assess whether the federal securities laws apply to the offer, sale, or resale of a particular digital asset.”

SEC Releases Announcement About Exhibits Containing Immaterial, Competitively Harmful InformationAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On April 1, 2019, the SEC posted to its Web site an announcement55 on the new rules and procedures in the Commission’s recently issued final rule56 on modernization and simplification of Regulation S-K, specifically those related to exhibits containing immaterial and competitively harmful information. Topics discussed in the announcement include (1) new rule requirements related to the identification of where information has been omitted from a filed exhibit, (2) the process of reviewing registrants’ filings for compliance, and (3) transition issues.

Appendix B: Current Status of FASB ProjectsThis appendix summarizes the current status and next steps for the FASB’s active standard-setting projects (excluding research initiatives).

Project Status and Next Steps Deloitte Resources

Recognition and Measurement Projects

Codification improvements

GeneralThe FASB has a standing project on its agenda to make regular updates and improvements to the Codification (e.g., technical corrections and clarifications).

Financial instrumentsOn April 25, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which makes limited improvements to its guidance on credit losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement of financial instruments.

On May 8, 2019, the FASB decided to make limited amendments to its hedge accounting guidance in response to stakeholder feedback on ASU 2017-12.

On June 5, 2019, the FASB decided to issue a proposed ASU that would make limited improvements to its guidance on credit losses. The Board issued this proposal on June 27, 2019; comments are due by July 29, 2019.

In addition, the FASB is developing a proposed ASU on credit loss vintage disclosure.

Share-Based Consideration Payable to a CustomerOn March 4, 2019, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would clarify that share-based payments made as consideration payable to a customer should be measured and classified in accordance with ASC 718. Comments were due by April 18, 2019.

Heads Up — FASB Issues Narrow Financial Instrument Accounting Updates (May 7, 2019)

Journal Entry — FASB Discusses Proposed Improvements to Measurement of Credit Losses (June 5, 2019)

Journal Entry — FASB Tentatively Approves Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (May 16, 2019)

Heads Up — FASB Issues Proposed ASU to Address the Accounting for Share-Based Payments Issued as Sales Incentives to Customers (March 5, 2019)

Consolidation reorganization and targeted improvements

On September 20, 2017, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would reorganize the consolidation guidance in ASC 810 by dividing it into separate subtopics for voting interest entities and variable interest entities (VIEs). The new subtopics would be included in a new topic, ASC 812, which would supersede ASC 810. Comments on the proposal were due by December 4, 2017. On June 27, 2018, the FASB decided to continue the project.

Heads Up — FASB Proposes to Reorganize Its Consolidation Guidance (October 5, 2017)

36

Distinguishing liabilities from equity (including convertible debt)

The FASB added this project to its technical agenda on September 20, 2017. On June 6, 2018, the Board decided to research an accounting model in which convertible instruments with embedded conversion features would be treated as a single unit of account unless the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated as a derivative. On February 13, 2019, the Board decided to relax the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40. On April 3, 2019, the Board made decisions about consequential amendments, technical corrections, and transition. On June 19, 2019, the FASB directed its staff to prepare a proposed ASU for a vote by written ballot. The proposal is expected to be issued in the third quarter of 2019.

Journal Entry — FASB Decides to Relax Equity Classification Conditions (February 15, 2019)

Extending private- company accounting alternatives on certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill to NFP entities

On May 30, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-06, which extends the private-company alternatives on goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets in ASU 2014-02 and ASU 2014-18 to NFP entities.

Heads Up — FASB Extends Certain Private-Company Accounting Alternatives to Not-for-Profit Entities (June 12, 2019)

Financial instruments — credit losses: targeted transition relief

On May 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which allows entities, upon adoption of ASC 326, to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets within the scope of ASC 326-20 on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Heads Up — FASB Issues Targeted Transition Relief for Entities Adopting ASU 2016-13 (May 15, 2019)

Financial instruments — clarifying the interaction between ASC 321 and ASC 323 (EITF Issue 19-A)

The FASB added this project to the EITF’s agenda on May 8, 2019, to address (1) the accounting for equity securities under the measurement alternative upon the application and discontinuation of the equity method, (2) recognizing investee losses when an investor has other equity investments in the investee, and (3) scope considerations related to certain forward contracts and purchased call options on equity securities. On June 26, 2019, the FASB ratified the consensus-for-exposure reached by the EITF at its June 13, 2019, meeting. A proposed ASU is expected to be issued in the third quarter of 2019.

EITF Snapshot (June 2019)

Hedging: last-of-layer method

On March 28, 2018, the FASB decided to add a narrow-scope project to address the accounting for last-of-layer basis adjustments and hedging multiple layers under the last of layer method in accordance with ASU 2017-12.

Journal Entry — Hedging — FASB Discusses Feedback on Key Implementation Issues (April 10, 2018)

Identifiable intangible assets and subsequent accounting for goodwill

On October 24, 2018, the FASB added this project to its technical agenda and directed the staff to draft an Invitation to Comment, which is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2019.

37

Improving the accounting for asset acquisitions and business combinations

On August 2, 2017, the FASB tentatively decided that this project should (1) address differences between the accounting for acquisitions of assets and that for acquisitions of businesses and (2) focus on the accounting for transaction costs, in-process research and development, and contingent consideration. On May 8, 2018, the FASB discussed how certain aspects of the accounting for asset acquisitions could be aligned with those for business combinations. On May 8, 2019, the FASB decided to expand the scope of this project to include the accounting for in-process research and development and contingent consideration obligations recognized upon the initial consolidation of a variable interest entity that is not a business.

Recognition under ASC 805 for an assumed liability in a revenue contract (EITF Issue 18-A)

On February 14, 2019, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would address the recognition of an assumed liability in a revenue contract acquired in a business combination. Simultaneously, the FASB released an invitation to comment on related issues. Comments on either document were due by April 30, 2019.

EITF Snapshot (June 2019)

Reference rate reform: Facilitation of the effects of the LIBOR-to-SOFR transition on financial reporting

On August 29, 2018, the FASB added a project to its agenda to consider changes to GAAP necessitated by the market-wide transition from LIBOR to SOFR, with the objective of facilitating the transition. On June 19, 2019, the FASB tentatively decided to provide relief from certain GAAP requirements.

Disclosure framework: disclosure review — inventory

On January 10, 2017, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would modify or eliminate certain disclosure requirements related to inventory and establish new requirements. Comments on the proposed ASU were due by March 13, 2017. On June 21, 2017, the Board discussed a summary of comments received.

Heads Up — FASB Proposes Updates to Inventory Disclosures (January 12, 2017)

Disclosure framework: disclosures — interim reporting

At its May 28, 2014, meeting, the FASB decided to amend ASC 270 “to reflect that disclosures about matters required to be set forth in annual financial statements should be provided on an updated basis in the interim report if there is a substantial likelihood that the updated information would be viewed by a reasonable investor as significantly altering the ’total mix’ of information available to the investor.” On July 11, 2018, the Board directed the staff to develop principles for interim disclosure.

Disclosure improvements in response to SEC’s release on disclosure update and simplification

On May 6, 2019, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would make Codification amendments in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative. Comments on the proposal were due by June 28, 2019.

Disclosures by business entities about government assistance

On November 12, 2015, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would require specific disclosures about government assistance received by businesses. Comments on the proposed ASU were due by February 10, 2016. The FASB most recently discussed this project on February 27, 2019.

Journal Entry — FASB Begins Redeliberating Project on Business Entities’ Disclosures About Government Assistance (June 14, 2016)

Financial performance reporting: disaggregation of performance information

The FASB added this project to its technical agenda on September 20, 2017, “to focus on the disaggregation of performance information either through presentation in the statement of income or disclosure in the notes.” The FASB most recently discussed this project on April 24, 2019.

Segment reporting The FASB added this project to its technical agenda on September 20, 2017. The purpose of the project is to improve “the aggregation criteria and segment disclosures.” The FASB most recently discussed this project on May 29, 2019.

A Roadmap to Segment Reporting

39

Simplifying the balance sheet classification of debt

On January 10, 2017, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would reduce the complexity of determining whether debt should be classified as current or noncurrent in a classified balance sheet.
