5 Simplification Initiative
6 Simplification Initiative Objective Reduce cost and complexity while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information Initiative includes narrowly targeted improvements and simplifications to financial reporting Debt (Topic 470): Simplifying the Classification of Debt in a Classified Balance Sheet (Current versus Noncurrent) 6
7 Simplifying the Balance Sheet Classification of Debt (Current vs. Noncurrent) Simplification Initiative Project
8 Simplifying the Balance Sheet Classification of Debt (Current vs. Noncurrent on a Classified Balance Sheet) Current Guidance Proposed Change What? Narrow scope rules on specific types of debt arrangements Overriding principle for the classification of debt that can apply to all arrangements* How? Mix of guidance using contractual maturity and management judgments Increase focus on contractual maturity and borrower s rights less focus on judgment or intent When? Some circumstances considered as of the financial statement issuance date, while others use the reporting date Criteria considered as of the reporting date 8
9 Simplifying the Balance Sheet Classification of Debt Proposed Classification principle Debt would be classified as a noncurrent liability if either of two criteria are met as of the balance sheet date Key Effects: - Waivers of Debt Covenant Violations - Refinancing - Subjective Acceleration Clauses 9
10 Classification of Debt Waivers of Debt Covenant Violations Under current guidance, debt is classified as noncurrent unless: A violation that gives the lender the ability to call the debt has occurred at the balance sheet date or would have occurred absent a loan modification It is probable that the borrower will not be able to cure the default at measurement dates within the next 12 months Under proposed guidance, debt will be classified as noncurrent if: The liability is contractually due to be settled or can be deferred for at least a year after the balance sheet date A waiver of the violation has been obtained before financial statement issuance The waiver does not result in an extinguishment or troubled debt restructuring It is not probable that any other covenants will be violated within 12 months of the balance sheet date 10
11 Classification of Debt Refinancing Current Guidance Short-term debt at the balance sheet date that is refinanced to long-term debt (or replaced by an equity issuance) after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued should be classified as a noncurrent liability Proposed Guidance An entity cannot consider a subsequent refinancing when determining the classification of debt because those transactions are nonrecognized subsequent events (Type 2) 11
12 Classification of Debt Waivers of Subjective Acceleration Clauses (SACs) Current Guidance Classification depends on the likelihood of acceleration of the due date based on the triggering clauses Proposed Guidance These clauses would affect classification of debt only when the acceleration clause is triggered (no probability assessment) 12
13 Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting
14 Nonemployee Share-Based Payments Why did the FASB make changes to the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments? Today s accounting example awards with performance conditions What would change as a result of the amendments in the proposed Update? What would not change as a result of the amendments in the proposed Update? 14
15 Nonemployee Share-Based Payments Why Did the FASB Make Changes? To improve the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments - Reduces cost and complexity when applying the guidance - Improves financial reporting The accounting for nonemployee share-based payments was identified as an area for simplification through: - Ongoing dialogue with the PCC about making improvements to accounting for share-based payments - Ideas submitted to the FASB as part of the Board s Simplification Initiative - The Post-Implementation Review Report on FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. 15
16 Nonemployee Share-Based Payments Today s Accounting Example: Awards with Performance Conditions Additional differences for performance conditions results in additional complexities: - Nonemployee If performance condition is not satisfied, value award at lowest aggregate fair value (probability not relevant) but there is diversity in practice - Employee If performance condition is not satisfied, so long as it is probable of being achieved recognize compensation cost 16
17 Nonemployee Share-Based Payments What Would Change? Proposed Amendments Nonemployee (Topic 718) Measurement objective FV (equity instruments issued) Measurement Date Grant date Measurement Input Contractual Term Award with Performance Conditions Entity considers probability of satisfying performance conditions Calculated Value Practical Expedient Nonpublic entities can substitute calculated values for expected volatilities Intrinsic Value Nonpublic entities can make policy election to measure liability awards at FV or intrinsic value 17
18 Nonemployee Share-Based Payments What Would Not Change? Proposal would NOT change practice for share-based payments to employees Proposal would NOT change attribution of compensation cost for share-based payments to nonemployees 18
19 Invitation to Comment (ITC) about Future Agenda
20 Invitation to Comment: Objective Help the FASB set its future agenda by identifying population of key projects to consider Determine priority of key projects Identify perceived financial reporting issue(s) for each topic Obtain feedback on potential alternatives or path forward 20
21 Invitation to Comment: Topics The following topics were included in the ITC: - Intangible assets (including research and development) - Pensions and other postretirement benefit plans - Distinguishing liabilities from equity - Reporting performance and cash flows (including income statement, segment reporting, other comprehensive income, and statement of cash flows) 21
22 Invitation to Comment 45 Comment Letters Respondent Type - 24 Practitioners - 13 Preparers - 5 Users - 3 Others User 11% Other 7% Preparer 29% Practitioner 53% 22
23 Invitation to Comment: Relative Rank of All Topics by Respondent Type Project Overall Preparer Practitioner User Other Liabilities and Equity Performance Reporting Intangibles Pensions and OPEB
24 Invitation to Comment: Constituent Views Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity Frequently Cited: - Guidance is overly complex and internally inconsistent - Guidance is path dependent and form based - Leads to frequent restatements and diversity in practice Performance Reporting Frequently Cited: - Rise of Non-GAAP information - Investors want/need more information and more comparability - Development of new technology changes the way information is consumed 24
25 Invitation to Comment: Constituent Views Intangible Assets Frequently Cited: - Inconsistent treatment of acquired vs. internally generated intangibles - Market capitalization of some companies is driven by items not reflected on the balance sheet 25
26 Conceptual Framework
27 Conceptual Framework Objective of Financial Reporting...to provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders, and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity. Those decisions involve buying, selling, or holding equity and debt instruments and providing or settling loans and other forms of credit. (Con 8, Chapter 1 OB2) 27
28 Conceptual Framework: Purpose 28 Help solve financial accounting or reporting problems by: - Providing a set of common premises as a basis for discussion - Providing precise terminology - Helping to ask the right questions - Limiting the areas of judgment and discretion - Imposing intellectual discipline on what traditionally has been a subjective and ad hoc reasoning process 28
29 Conceptual Framework Project Never the intention to start with a clean sheet of paper and develop a new conceptual framework - Try to address deficiencies - Try to clarify and improve understanding - Make amendments that experience in application has suggested are necessary Began as a joint project that was intended to build on the existing IASB and FASB frameworks. However, joint project ended in
30 Conceptual Framework Project Current Issues - Elements Initial Deliberations - Measurement Initial Deliberations - Presentation Exposure Draft Redeliberations - Disclosure: Board s Decision Process Exposure Draft Redeliberations 30
31 Conceptual Framework: Elements Assets Liabilities Gains Elements Revenues Expenses Losses Elements Specific to For-Profit Entities Equity Investments by Owners Distributions to Owners Comprehensive Income Elements Specific to Not-for-Profit Entities Net Assets
32 Conceptual Framework: Elements 32 The Board directed the staff to address elements of financial statements (currently defined in CON 6) concurrently with measurement and presentation concepts. Definitions of certain elements in focus: - Assets and liabilities Problematic terminology Application issues - Comprehensive income elements Revenues and expenses Gains and losses 32
33 Assets Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a result of past transactions or events. (Con 6, paragraph 25) Problems: Probable (1) Future economic benefits Controlled Past transactions or events (1) See footnote 18 (Con 6)
34 Liabilities Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past transactions or events. (Con 6, paragraph 35) Problems: Probable (1) Future sacrifice of economic benefits Obligations (uncertainties) Past transactions or events (1) See footnote 21 (Con 6)
35 Conceptual Framework: Elements Next Steps 35 Comprehensive income elements Fundamental issues with liability definition Implications of decisions on other phases 35
36 Conceptual Framework: Measurement The following general categories of methods should be discussed in the chapter: - Prices in transactions in which the entity participated - Current prices observed or estimated by the entity - Discounted estimates of future cash flows other than estimates of market prices - Other adjustments to carrying amount: accruals, systematic allocations, and allowances for impairment. 36
37 Conceptual Framework: Measurement 37 Three categories of initial measurement are: - Entry price - Exit price - Estimated future cash flows. Overall objective in identifying costs to be included in the initial carrying amount of an asset at entry price should be to capture the costs incurred to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operation. 37
38 Conceptual Framework: Measurement Next Steps - Subsequent measurement of assets - Subsequent measurement of liabilities - Adjustments to entry price 38
39 Conceptual Framework: Presentation Primary additions in Exposure Draft: - Seven considerations to determine how to aggregate individual, recognized items (assets, revenues, expenses, etc.) into line items on the financial statements - Other Comprehensive Income 39
40 Conceptual Framework: Presentation Line Items, Subtotals, and Totals - Simplifying, condensing, and aggregating - Homogeneous groupings - Focus on line items 40
41 Conceptual Framework: Presentation Comment Letter Highlights - Respondents were generally supportive of the considerations for grouping line items - Less support for the conclusion that there is no conceptual basis for Other Comprehensive Income - Other Notable Comments Interaction of ED with other parts of Conceptual Framework Relationships among financial statements 41
42 Disclosure Framework
43 Disclosure Framework Improving the effectiveness of notes requires both: Consistent considerations by the Board in each standard-setting activity Appropriate exercise of discretion by reporting entities when assessing disclosure requirements Phase I: Board s Decision Process Phase II: Entity s Decision Process 43

57 Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is Considered a Service Contract (EITF Issue)
58 Cloud Computing: Background ASU , Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal- Use Software (Subtopic ): Customer s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement Recent staff outreach and research on implementation costs incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (CCA) 58
59 Cloud Computing: Issue and Status Issue GAAP does not have guidance about accounting for implementation costs for a cloud computing arrangement that is accounted for as a service contract ASU provides guidance about which arrangements should be accounted for as a service contract (such as hosting or software-as-a-service) or as the purchase of a software license GAAP has longstanding guidance about accounting for implementation costs to develop or obtain software Status Recently added to EITF agenda and discussed at July meeting 59
60 Cloud Computing: Technical Considerations Should the term implementation costs be defined? Is it possible to keep the scope limited to cloud computing arrangements or will stakeholders suggest the scope be expanded to other service contracts? What is the most cost-effective solution? Should guidance be provided on amortizing the asset for those costs that are capitalized? 60
61 Collaborative Arrangements
62 Collaborative Arrangements Objective: Clarify when transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement are within the scope of the revenue guidance 62
63 Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations Phase 3 of the Definition of a Business Project
64 Phase 3 of the Definition of a Business Project Phases 1 and 2 completed in 2017 Objective of Phase 3: Improve the accounting for asset acquisitions and business combinations by aligning the accounting for the recognition and derecognition of assets and businesses 64
