New Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) related to U.S. GAAP are issued on a perpetual basis. It can be time-consuming and confusing to keep up-to-date on the resulting impact on financial statements and disclosures. This webinar will provide an executive summary of U.S. GAAP updates with open effective dates for 2018 or thereafter related to public and/or nonpublic business entities.

The following topics will be discussed: Highlights of recently-issued ASU’s, focusing on changes with open effective dates for 2018 or thereafter related to public and/or nonpublic entities, such as:
  • Clarifications in statement of cash flow presentation
  • Changes in accounting for stock-based compensation
  • Business combination measurement periods, and more
Where financial statement preparers should focus the most time and attention when preparing 2018 interim and annual financial statements, such as:
  • Simplifications in determining the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities
  • Changes in defining the acquisition of a business vs. a group of assets, and more
The most significant accounting and financial reporting changes with future effective dates that business entities should be preparing for now, such as revenue recognition, leases, and financial instruments
