Catch-up on Past Issues
Newsletter February 2023
In February 2023, the FASB affirmed changes to lease accounting for related parties and plans to issue the new ASU by the end of March. GASB issued an exposure draft on subscription-based IT arrangements. AICPA’s SAS 149 on group audits is imminent, targeting an effective date after December 15, 2026. Concerns arose over proposed legislation in Minnesota to lower CPA licensure credit hour requirements.
Newsletter January 2023
In January 2023, FASB issued ASU 2022-06, extending temporary relief for reference rate reform. Opportunities arose for CPAs to engage in standard setting, with PCC and FASB seeking nominations for new members. Access to the Codification will soon be free for more users, aiding smaller organizations. GASB held meetings but issued no new standards. AICPA finalized blueprints for CPA exam changes. ARSC and ASB meetings focused on decision trees, strategic planning, quality management, and group audits.
Newsletter December 2022
While we haven’t quite made it to the end of 2022, there has been very little standard setting activity at this point. FASB issued ASU 2022-05, Transition for Sold Contracts to address transition issued related to changes to long-duration insurance guidance (original ASU 2018-12). We do expect that reference rate reform effective date changes will come out before the end of the year and we know that the proposed changes to the leases standard won’t be finalized until late Q1 2023. GASB and AICPA have not issued any proposed or final standards to date. We’ll continue to monitor changes from standard setters and will let you know in January if anything new should issue that you need to read about. But until then, enjoy a light year of standard setting and an early holiday present from the AICPA, GASB, and FASB!
