Main provisions• Amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair

value option on financial instruments that:− were previously recorded at amortized cost and

− are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10.

• The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. • Entities are required to make this election on an instrument by-instrument basis.

Effective date and transition• For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-05 are effective for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. • An entity may early adopt the ASU in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted ASU

2016-13. • The amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis.





Overview• Clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments

(addressed by ASUs 2016-13, 2017-12, and 2016-01, respectively).

• Changes contained in the amendments apply to all entities within the scope of the affected guidance.

Notable Changes Made to ASU 2016-13• Provides certain alternatives for the measurement of the allowance for credit losses on accrued interest

receivable.

• Clarifies that entities should include expected recoveries on financial assets in the calculation of expected credit losses.

• Clarifies the application of the vintage disclosure table to line-of-credit (LOC) arrangements.− The amortized cost basis of LOC arrangements that are converted to term loans must be presented in a

separate column of the vintage disclosure table.

• Indicates that extension and renewal options that are not unconditionally cancelable by the entity (excluding those accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815) that are included in the original or modified contract should be considered in the entity’s determination of expected credit losses.

Main provisions• Aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a

service contract with those for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license)

• Apply ASC 350-40 to determine which types of costs may be capitalized

• Determine which project stage an implementation activity relates to in order to determine whether eligible costs should be capitalized, as follows:− Preliminary project stage (expense)− Application development stage (capitalize)− Postimplementation-operation stage (expense)


Eligible Costs Ineligible CostsCosts of software that allows for access to or conversion of old data by new systems

Recognition under Topic 805 for an assumed liability in a revenue contract − Research Project


Affects: Entities that acquire a revenue contract in a business combination after the acquirer has adopted ASC 606.Background and Tentative Decisions: • ASC 805 requires the recognition of assumed liabilities in a business combination.

• In March 2018, the FASB added to the EITF’s agenda a project to address recognition of liabilities related to revenue contracts acquired in a business combination after adopting ASC 606.

• In their June 2018 meeting, the EITF tentatively decided:

− An entity should recognize an assumed liability resulting from a revenue contract acquired in a business combination if the liability represents a performance obligation under ASC 606

− It is not appropriate for an acquirer to use a carry-over basis to measure an assumed liability in a revenue contract acquired in a business combination

− An acquirer’s measurement of an assumed liability’s fair value should take into account the other assets and liabilities in the acquired set

• The FASB issued a proposed ASU in February 2019 that would require an acquirer to “recognize a liability assumed in a business combination from a contract with a customer if that liability represents an unsatisfied performance obligation under Topic 606 for which the acquiree has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer.”

Research ProjectRecognition under Topic 805 for an assumed liability in a revenue contract


Background (cont.):• In February 2019, the FASB also issued a separate Invitation to Comment (ITC) regarding the measurement of an assumed liability in a revenue contract. Specifically, the ITC requested feedback on (1) the effect of payment terms on revenue recognized after the business combination (which could have implications on the Board’s determination of how the fair value of the liability should be measured) and (2) what costs should be included when measuring the fair value of an assumed liability in a revenue contract.

• In June 2019, the EITF discussed comment letters received on both the ITC and the proposed ASU and recommended that the FASB add to its technical agenda a project on measuring assumed contract liabilities in a revenue contract acquired in a business combination. The EITF also decided not to affirm its consensus-for-exposure until the FASB addresses measurement and other issues raised in the ITC.

• In July 2019, the FASB decided to subsume the EITF project on recognition of assumed liabilities in a revenue contract into its broader project on measurement and other topics related to revenue contracts in a business combination.

Next Steps:• The FASB directed its staff to conduct further research on the potential alternatives identified. No decisions

have yet been finalized.

Research ProjectRecognition under Topic 805 for an assumed liability in a revenue contract (cont.)


Simplifying the balance sheet classification of debt − Proposed ASU


Background• Current guidance in ASC 470-10 is very fact-specific with many exceptions. Goal of this project is to

reduce the cost and complexity of applying this guidance by introducing a principles-based approach.

• The Board decided to modify the proposed scope to clarify that the classification principle also should apply to lease liabilities.

Summary of Key Tentative Proposals• Classification Principle – As of the financial reporting date, an entity would classify a debt arrangement as

noncurrent if either (1) the liability is contractually due to be settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date or (2) the entity has a contractual right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

• Unused Long-term Financing Commitments – Unused long-term financing commitments would be disregarded in determining the classification of debt.

• Refinancing of Short-term Obligations – A short-term obligation that is subsequently refinanced on a long-term basis after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, will be classified as current as of the balance sheet date because the refinancing would be considered a nonrecognized subsequent event.

Proposed ASUSimplifying the balance sheet classification of debt


Summary of Key Tentative Proposals (cont.)• Subjective Acceleration Clauses (SACs) and Debt Covenants – SACs and covenants within long-term

obligations affect the classification of the debt only when triggered or violated, in which case disclosure of the SAC or covenant would be required.

• Covenant Violations Exception – An entity would not classify debt as current solely because of a debt covenant violation if it has received a covenant waiver after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. However, entities would be required to present separately on the balance sheet the portion of debt that is classified as noncurrent as a result of the waiver exception.

Effective Date and Transition• Entities would apply this ASU prospectively.

• The effective date will be discussed at a future meeting.

Next Steps• On September 12, 2019, the Board issued a revised proposed ASU, with comments due by October 28,

2019.

Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective dates – Proposed ASU


Affects: Private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain public companies.

Background:

• On August 15, 2019 the FASB issued Proposed ASU, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates. The proposed Update would grant private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain small public companies additional time to implement FASB standards on CECL, leases and hedging.

• The Board has issued many major standards over the past several years and as a result, the Board has been able to gain greater understanding about the operability challenges encountered by all entity types when transitioning to these new standards.

• The Board learned that although large public business entities (PBEs) may encounter difficulties in transitioning to a new standard, the challenges are magnified for smaller PBEs and nonpublic business entities (generally, private companies, not-for-profit organizations and employee benefit plans).

Agenda consultation


In 2016, the FASB issued an invitation to comment to solicit feedback about potential financial accounting and reporting topics, and specifically whether they should be added to the FASB’s agenda.

The Board has since voted to add projects on the following topics:

• Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Current Stage: Exposure Draft)

− Objective is to increase understandability and reduce complexity of current guidance.

− On April 3, 2019, the Board reached tentative decisions related to (1) convertible debt instruments, (2) the derivatives scope exception, (3) various other consequential amendments, and (4) transition.

− On June 19, 2019, the Board deliberated sweep issues and made decisions including the decision to modify the scope of Section 815-40-50, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity—Disclosure.

− On July 31, 2019, the Board issued a proposed ASU, with comments due by October 14, 2019.

Agenda consultation


• Disaggregation of Performance Information (income statement presentation) (Current Stage: Initial Deliberations)

− Focus is on the potential disaggregation of lines that represent the cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

− On April 24, 2019, the Board discussed an internal view approach to disaggregating income statement expense information, which would disaggregate this expense information based on how management internally views consolidated expenses.

− The Board directed the staff to conduct outreach with preparers on the operability of the internal view approach as well as other follow-on issues and to conduct outreach with users in order to understand the usefulness of potential outcomes from the internal view approach

Agenda consultation (cont.)


• Segment Reporting (Current Stage: Initial Deliberations)

− On June 13, 2018, the Board approved the staff’s request to undertake extended outreach on the following alternatives: (1) re-order the process for determining reportable segments and move the quantitative thresholds earlier in that process, and (2) remove the aggregation criteria, resulting in each operating segment being reportable until a practical limit is reached.

− On December 19, 2018, the Board discussed feedback received on its 2018 segment aggregation study, which considered alternatives to improve the aggregation criteria and the reportable segments process.

− On February 13, 2019, the Board directed the staff to study how clarifying the meaning of regularly reviewed segment information would affect the pieces of information public entities report by segment.

− On April 10, 2019, the Board directed the staff to study the following: (1) expanding the list of required disclosures, (2) developing principles-based disclosure requirements in addition to the required disclosures, and (3) requiring an explanation for any required disclosures that are omitted.

− In June 2019, the Board issued a media release calling for public companies to participate in a study on potential improvements to the segment disclosure requirements. Participants in the study will be asked to provide information on how various potential improvements would affect their segment reporting.

Agenda consultation (cont.)




Decision process (cont.)• On August 28, 2018, the Board issued Chapter 8, Notes to Financial Statements and modified Chapter 3,

Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information of FASB Concepts Statement No. 8, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, which, among other things:

− Aligned the FASB’s definition of materiality with that of the SEC, PCAOB, AICPA, and U.S. judicial system.

− Described the purpose of notes, the nature of appropriate content, and general limitations.

Topics considered• As part of the disclosure effectiveness project, the Board has issued ASUs related to the following topics:

− Defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans (ASU 2018-14)

− Fair value measurements (ASU 2018-13)

• In addition, the Board has ongoing projects related to the following topics:

− Inventory

− Interim reporting

− Income taxes



Income Taxes• The FASB staff held workshops with stakeholders in September 2018 to discuss this project, and the Board

continued discussing the project at its meetings in November 2018, January 2019, February 2019, and March 2019.

• On March 25, 2019, the Board issued a revised proposed ASU. The due date for comment letters was May 31, 2019.

• The proposed ASU would be applied prospectively.

• The effective date will be discussed at a future meeting.

Background:

• The objective of this project is to revisit the subsequent accounting for goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including considerations for improving the decision usefulness of the information and rebalancing the cost benefit factors.

• The Post-Implementation Review of FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations, issued in 2013 described stakeholders’ concerns about the cost to perform the goodwill impairment test. Since then, the FASB has issued various pieces of guidance to resolve those stakeholders’ concerns, including alternatives for private companies and not-for-profit entities such as:

− ASU No. 2014-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill

− ASU No. 2014-18, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination

− ASU No. 2019-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Extending the Private Company Accounting Alternatives on Goodwill and Certain Identifiable Intangible Assets to Not-for-Profit Entities.



Invitation to Comment:

• On October 24, 2018, the Board decided to add to its technical agenda a broad project to revisit the subsequent accounting for goodwill and the accounting for certain identifiable intangible assets.

• On July 9, 2019, the staff issued an Invitation to Comment to obtain formal input from stakeholders focusing on public business entities on the subsequent accounting for goodwill, the accounting for certain identifiable intangible assets, and the scope of the project on those topics.

• The Board has provided a 90-day comment period with comments due by October 7, 2019.
