After working on this this project for 8 years, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 in February 2016 in response to criticism of the existing guidance for not providing financial statement users enough information about an entity’s leasing activities. The most significant change resulting from the ASU is that lessees will be required to put nearly all leases on the balance sheet by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The initial panic response that followed issuance of the ASU over 3 years ago has subsided, and most folks have since forgotten about the new standard entirely. Implementation is finally upon us though. Public business entities are required to adopt the lease standard for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with all other entities adopting the following year. This seminar will provide a high-level overview of how financial statements will be affected by the new guidance, including the effect on various performance metrics.
This evolving topic presents an exciting opportunity for you to host this NASBP Virtual Seminar for your construction clients or to share the information on how they too can register to participate in this live or recorded Virtual Seminar.
