Credit Losses

(ASU 2016-13)

Replaces the incurred loss model with the current expected credit loss (CECL) model for financial assets, including trade receivables, debt securities, and loan receivables.

Clarifying standards:

ASU 2018-19 – Clarifies that impairment of operating lease receivables is in the scope of ASC Topic 842, “Leases,” and not the CECL model.

ASU 2019-04 – Provides specific improvements and clarifications to the guidance in Topic 326. Addresses accrued interest, transfers between classifications or categories for loans and debt securities, recoveries, vintage disclosures, and contractual extensions and renewal options.

ASU 2019-05 – Targeted transition relief provides an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, for certain financial assets (excluding held-to-maturity debt securities) previously measured at amortized cost.

ASU 2019-10 – Deferral of effective dates.

ASU 2019-11 – Provides specific improvements and clarifications to the guidance in Topic 326. Addresses expected recoveries for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, transition relief for troubled debt restructurings, disclosures related to accrued interest receivables, financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions, and conforming cross-references to Subtopic 805-20.

ASU 2020-03 – Aligns contractual term to measure expected credit losses for a net investment in a lease to be consistent with the lease term determined under Topic 842. Clarifies that when an entity regains control of financial assets sold, an allowance for credit losses should be recorded.

ASU 2022-02 – Targeted amendments specific to troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors and vintage disclosure related to gross write-offs. An entity is required to apply the loan and refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs. Requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within scope of Subtopic 326-20.

Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
(ASU 2020-06)

Clarifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments reduce number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models were removed. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract. Improves disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. Revises derivatives scope exception guidance to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions driven by remote contingent events.

For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, March 31, 2022

For all other PBEs, including smaller reporting companies, March 31, 2024

Permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2020.

An entity must adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year and not in a subsequent interim.

Long-Duration Insurance Contracts (ASU 2018-12)

Revises the accounting for life insurance and annuity contracts by eliminating the method of locking in liability assumptions and the premium deficiency test for traditional and limited-payment contracts, among other methodology changes. Requires additional disclosure.

Clarifying standards:

ASU 2019-09 – Deferral of effective dates.

ASU 2020-11 – Deferral of effective dates.

Issuer’s Accounting for Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Written Call Options That Are Classified in Equity (ASU 2021-04)

Clarifies the guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (for example, warrants). The amendments provide that an entity should treat such modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The amendments provide guidance on how an entity should measure and recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments do not affect a holder’s accounting for freestanding call options.

March 31, 2022 Permitted, including in an interim period

Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance

(ASU 2021-10)

Requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance such as a grant model within Subtopic 958-605, “Not-for-Profit Entities – Revenue Recognition,” or International Accounting Standards 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.”

March 31, 2022 Permitted

Customer Contracts Acquired in a Business Combination

(ASU 2021-08)

Requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 on revenue from contracts with customers. The amendments apply to contract assets or contract liabilities in contracts with customers and other contracts to which the provisions of Topic 606 apply. The amendments also provide certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination.

March 31, 2023 Permitted, including in an interim period

Portfolio Layer Method of Hedge Accounting

(ASU 2022-01)

Expands the scope of assets eligible for portfolio layer method hedging to include all financial assets. The amendments remove the requirement that all assets in the closed portfolio have a contractual maturity date on or after the earliest-ending hedge period. The amendments require an entity to maintain fair value hedge basis adjustments at the closed portfolio level for a currently designated hedge and prohibit an entity from considering portfolio layer method fair value hedge basis adjustments on a currently designated hedge in its determination of credit losses. When a breach occurs (that is, the aggregate amount of the hedged layers currently exceeds the amount of the closed portfolio), an entity is required to present the fair value hedge basis adjustments with a breach in interest income and disclose the amount along with the circumstances that led to the breach.

March 31, 2023 Permitted, including in an interim period when amendments in ASU 2017-12 have been adopted

Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

(ASU 2022-03)

Clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value and clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments also require additional disclosures about the restriction, including the nature and remaining duration of the restriction.
March 31, 2024 Permitted, including in an interim period
