FASB Webcast and Webinar Series
IN FOCUS: The New Not-for-Profit Financial Reporting Standard: Get Ready for It!
Time: 1:00–2:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is pleased to announce an upcoming webcast that will discuss the requirements of Accounting Standards Update 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities, including related implementation ideas.
Through this session, participants will learn about the clarifications and improvements to existing guidance, as well as implementation ideas in:
- Presenting two classes of net assets on the face of the balance sheet and statement of activities, rather than the currently required three classes of net assets
- Providing enhanced disclosures in areas including qualitative information that communicates how an NFP manages liquid resources, and quantitative disclosures on the availability of an NFP’s financial assets
- Reporting an analysis of expenses by both functional and natural classification
- Providing enhanced disclosures for underwater endowments
- Providing new disclosures for board designations on net assets.
- Reporting investment return net of external and direct internal investment expenses and no longer requiring disclosure of those netted expenses
- Using the placed-in-service approach to release restricted from donations to build or acquire fixed assets
- No longer requiring the presentation or disclosure of the indirect method (reconciliation) if using the direct method for the presentation of operating cash flows on the face of the statement of cash flows.
Speakers: Jeff Mechanick, FASB Assistant Director—Nonpublic Entities; Rick Cole, FASB Supervising Project Manager; Andrew Prather, Member, FASB Not-for-Profit Advisory Committee.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- List the major financial reporting areas impacted by ASU 2016-14
- Understand key provisions of the ASU affecting those areas
- Identify some of the presentation and disclosure alternatives available when implementing some of those key provisions
- Understand the FASB’s efforts to ensure successful transition to ASU 2016-14 and resources available to assist stakeholders.
