12 Impairment project Key concepts of the CECL model Expected loss model Information set Current expected credit losses i.e., current estimate of future contractual cash flows that management does not expect to collect Generally applies to all financial assets that are measured at amortized cost No threshold for recognition Credit impairment recognized as an allowance Write-offs may still occur Includes historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Other considerations Unit of account Measurement methods/practical expedients Purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets and certain beneficial interests would apply the CECL model, but would be treated differently with respect to interest income recognition Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 12

14 Share-Based Payment Improvements Overview of ASU Background Project to improve the accounting for share-based payments in the following areas: Accounting for income taxes upon vesting or settlement of an award Accounting for forfeitures Statutory tax withholding requirements Classification of awards with repurchase features (subsequently dropped) Private company practical expedients Effective date and transition Public business entities annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein Other entities annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter Early adoption is permitted Transition disclosures (a) nature and reason for the change (b) cumulative effect on equity (c) effects on retrospectively adjusted prior periods Early adoption considerations All amendments must be adopted in the same period If adopted during an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 14

15 Share-Based Payment Improvements Excess tax benefits/tax deficiencies upon vesting or settlement of awards Eliminates the APIC pool concept Recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the income statement Treated as a discrete item for interim reporting purposes Transition: Prospective Eliminates the requirement to defer recognition of an excess tax benefit until the benefit is realized Transition: Modified retrospective approach Recognize previously unrecognized excess tax benefits (net of any valuation allowance) as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings For purposes of computing diluted EPS, eliminates the inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies in determining assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 15

16 Share-Based Payment Improvements Accounting for forfeitures Elect as an accounting policy either to: Estimate the total number of awards that will ultimately vest (as currently required), or Account for forfeitures as they occur Only applies to service conditions Affects accounting for nonforfeitable dividends Transition: Modified retrospective approach Record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date For purposes of computing diluted EPS, continue to determine total proceeds under the treasury stock method based on actual forfeitures (See ASC and Example 8 in ASC ) Continue to estimate the awards expected to vest for (1) the original award when accounting for an award modification or (2) replacement awards exchanged in a business combination attributed to precombination service Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 16

17 Share-Based Payment Improvements Statutory withholding requirements Affects whether an award should be classified as equity or liability Statutory withholding settlement provision alone would not lead to liability classification of the award when the withheld amount does not exceed the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the relevant tax jurisdictions Increases the limit from the statutory minimum withholding to the highest individual marginal tax rate Transition: Modified retrospective approach Entities would reassess the classification of outstanding liability awards as of the adoption date If new guidance would result in equity classification, an entity would record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings The maximum statutory tax rate is determined on a jurisdiction-byjurisdiction basis even if that rate exceeds the highest rate applicable to a specific award grantee. The classification exception would not apply to entities that do not have a statutory tax withholding obligation. Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 17

18 Share-Based Payment Improvements Classifications on the statement of cash flows Statutory withholding requirements Cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld to meet statutory tax withholding requirements = Financing cash outflow Payment represents entity s payment to reacquire the entity s shares Transition Apply change in presentation retrospectively to all periods presented Excess tax benefits/tax deficiencies upon vesting or settlement of awards Treated as other cash flows related to income taxes = Operating cash flow Eliminates previous requirement to treat as a hypothetical financing cash inflow and operating cash outflow Transition May elect to apply change in presentation either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented If prospective transition is elected, must disclose that prior periods have not been adjusted Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 18

19 Share-Based Payment Improvements Practical expedients for nonpublic entities Expected-term practical expedient Allows nonpublic entities to use a simplified method to estimate the expected term for awards with service or performance conditions that meet certain requirements: Service condition - estimate the expected term as the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the award Performance condition - estimate of the expected term would depend on whether it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved Probable awards: expected term is the midpoint between the requisite service period and contractual term Improbable awards: expected term is either (a) contractual term for awards that do not contain an explicit service period or (b) midpoint between the requisite service period and contractual term for awards with an explicit service period Transition prospectively to all awards that are measured at FV after adoption Intrinsic value practical expedient Allows nonpublic entities to make a one-time election to switch from fair value measurement to intrinsic value measurement, without demonstrating preferability, for liability-classified share-based payment awards. Transition modified retrospective approach Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 19

26 FASB update (cont.)

All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 26

27 FASB update (cont.) Consideration of Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control Proposed ASU issued June 23 Comments due July 25 Pertains to an entity s evaluation of whether it is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) and should consolidate the VIE Addresses concerns that ASU s requirements about how an entity should consider such interests could cause a single decision maker to consolidate a VIE even if it has little to no direct economic interests in the VIE Under the proposal, a single decision maker would no longer be required to consider indirect interests in a VIE held through related parties under common control to be the equivalent of direct interests in their entirety when performing the primary beneficiary test Instead, it would consider such interests on a proportionate basis similar to indirect interests held through other related parties Entities that had previously adopted ASU could adopt the amendments on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis.

28 Simplifying the accounting for goodwill impairment History and overview Evolution of accounting for goodwill Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Amortize goodwill - No longer amortize goodwill Amortize goodwill again? Phase 2 ASC Two-step impairment test - Annual basis - Would remove step 2 - Single test for all reporting units Proposed ASU (Phase 1) ASU Added qualitative assessment (a.k.a. step zero ) before needing to undergo two-step test Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Quarterly accounting roundup: 28

29 Simplifying the accounting for Goodwill Impairment Overview of proposed ASU Eliminates step two from the Goodwill Impairment model No longer required to determine and assign the fair of a reporting unit to its assets and liabilities (i.e., in a manner consistent with how goodwill is initially recorded in a business combination) Impairment will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit s carrying value over its fair value Impairment is limited to the reporting unit s recorded amount of goodwill Less precise than current step 2 method Could result in a goodwill impairment that is not attributable to a decline in the fair value of a reporting unit s goodwill Applies to all reporting units, including those with zero or negative value Goodwill allocated to reporting units with a zero or negative carrying value will not be impaired even when conditions indicate a possible impairment New requirement to disclose reporting units with zero or negative carrying value and the amount of goodwill allocated to them.

30 Simplification - Goodwill Impairment Overview of proposed ASU Transition New guidance to be applied prospectively Adoption date and whether to permit early adoption will be decided in future deliberations after considering constituent feedback Nonpublic entities that apply the PCC goodwill accounting alternative will need to assess preferability under ASC 250 to apply the new guidance More closely aligned with IFRSs one-step impairment model Comments due July 11, 2016 Post implementation review of FASB 141R indicated that Step Two is complex and costly because it is only measured as a residual and cannot be measured directly.

31 Non-employee share based payments Tentative board decisions Key decisions Expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees Aligns post-vesting classification (equity or liability) for employee and nonemployee share-based payment awards Includes an anti-abuse provision that stipulates a share-based payment to a nonemployee is not within the scope of the new guidance in Topic 718 if the payment is not for goods or services that are normally purchased by the grantor for use or consumption in the ordinary course of its business Aligns the measurement principles to existing ASC 718 guidance Retains existing guidance on how to attribute the cost of nonemployee awards Aligns the disclosures to those in ASC 718 Transition Modified retrospective approach with cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings Use of calculated value by nonpublic entities to value nonemployee awards is prospective Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC.

33 Income taxes: Intra-entity asset transfers Final board decisions Key provisions Current guidance: prohibits an entity from recognizing current and deferred income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer until the entity sells the asset to an outside party New guidance: eliminates prohibition on recognition of income taxes paid for intraentity transactions and the related deferred tax asset on differences between the tax basis of the assets in a buyer s tax jurisdiction and their cost as reported in the consolidated financial statements, except for transfers of inventory Transition guidance Modified retrospective with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in period of adoption Effective date Public entities: annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 (one year later for non-public entities) Early adoption permitted as of the beginning of the entity s annual period that begins after the issuance date of the final ASU Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC.
