Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception
Phase: Final Standard
Issue: Jul-17
Effective Date: For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this ASU do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.
Topic/Industry: Various
Summary: The amendments in the ASU change the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic earnings per share. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features would be subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in FASB ASC 470), including related earnings per share guidance (in FASB ASC 260). The amendments in Part II of this ASU recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
Phase: Final Standard
Issue: Jan-17
Effective Date: An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this ASU. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this ASU for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this ASU for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this ASU should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.
Topic/Industry: Topic 330 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other
Summary: The amendments in this Update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Because these amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, they should reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
Phase: Final Standard
Issue: Jan-17
Effective Date: An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this ASU. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this ASU for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this ASU for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this ASU should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.
Topic/Industry: Topic 330 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other
Summary: The amendments in this Update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Because these amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, they should reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment.

Not-for-Profit Entities—Consolidation (Subtopic 958-810): Clarifying When a Not-for-Profit Entity That Is a General Partner or a Limited Partner Should Consolidate a For-Profit Limited Partnership or Similar Entity
Phase: Final Standard
Issue: Jan-17
Effective Date: The amendments in this ASU are effective for NFPs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an NFP early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. NFPs that have not yet adopted the amendments in FASB ASU No. 2015-02 are required to adopt the amendments in this ASU at the same time they adopt the amendments in FASB ASU No. 2015-02 and should apply the same transition method elected for the application of FASB ASU No. 2015-02. NFPs that already have adopted the amendments in FASB ASU No. 2015-02 are required to apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all relevant prior periods beginning with the fiscal year in which the amendments in FASB ASU No. 2015-02 initially were applied.
Topic/Industry: Subtopic 958-810 - Not-for-Profit Entities—Consolidation
Summary: Current GAAP requires an NFP that is a general partner of a for-profit limited partnership to apply the consolidation guidance in Subtopic 810-20 unless that partnership interest is reported at fair value in conformity with certain other guidance. However, once the amendments in Update 2015-02 are effective, the guidance in Subtopic 810-20 no longer will exist, creating uncertainty about when an NFP that is a general partner should consolidate a for-profit limited partnership. The amendments in this Update retain the consolidation guidance that existed in Subtopic 810-20 by including it within Subtopic 958-810. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they clarify the consolidation guidance for NFPs to help avoid diversity in practice.

Effective Date: Public business entities should apply the amendments in this ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is allowed as follows: 1. For transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance 2. For transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance.
Topic/Industry: Topic 805 - Business Combinations
Summary: The amendments in this ASU provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. Because the current definition of a business is interpreted broadly and can be difficult to apply, stakeholders indicated that analyzing transactions is inefficient and costly and that the definition does not permit the use of reasonable judgment. The amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable.
