  • MASB 9 Revenue
    MASB 9 Revenue MASB 9 Revenue prescribes the accounting treatment of revenue arising from certain types of transactions and events. MASB 9 supersedes MASB Approved Accounting Standard IAS 18, Revenue Recognition adopted previously by the MASB. Highlights: 1. MASB 9 should be applied in accounting for revenue arising from the sale of goods, rendering of services and the use by others of enterprise assets yielding interest, royalties and dividends. It also specifically excludes revenue arising from certain transactions. 2. Exempt enterprises need not comply with certain provisions of this Standard i.e. the recognition of revenue by reference to the stage of completion in rendering services. 3. MASB 9 requires that revenue should be measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. In most cases, the consideration is in the form of cash or cash equivalents. Discounting is needed in those circumstances where the inflow of cash is significantly deferred without interest. If dissimilar goods or services are exchanged (as in barter transactions), revenue is the fair value of the goods or services received adjusted by the any cash or cash equivalent transferred or, if this is not reliably measurable, the fair value of the goods or services given up adjusted by the any cash or cash equivalent transferred. 4. Revenue should be recognised when all the following have been satisfied: (a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer; (b) managerial involvement and control have passed to the buyer; (c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; (d) it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the enterprise; and (e) the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

    JUNE & JULY 2019 IN THIS ISSUE Ten years of XBRL: Financial- SEC staff comments are RECENT DEVELOPMENTS reporting experts reflect on revealing, a year after The SEC’s FAST Act rules benefits, successes, and ASC 606 broaden XBRL requirements remaining challenges PAGE 2 PAGE 8 PAGE 10 Ten years of XBRL: Financial-reporting experts reflect on benefits, successes, and remaining challenges (Part 1) Believe it or not, a decade has elapsed since June 2009, when the SEC implemented its XBRL-tagging requirement for financial disclosure filings. Three years later, the XBRL mandate was fully phased in for all SEC filers, and it continues to expand. All regulatory compliance teams at SEC reporting companies are now involved in XBRL tagging. SEC rules that took effect in May 2019 now require Inline XBRL for information on the cover of Forms 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, 20-F, and 40-F. [See The SEC’s FAST Act rules broaden XBRL requirements in this issue.] To mark the anniversary, DIMENSIONS asked six XBRL experts in the securities regulation, financial reporting, or capital markets sectors to comment on the structured-data revolution in SEC reporting: its benefits to investors and companies; the success stories thus far; and the challenges that remain for structured data and the general modernization of disclosure. • Mike Willis, Assistant Director, SEC Office of Structured Disclosure • J. Louis Matherne, Chief of Taxonomy Development, FASB • Campbell Pryde, President and CEO, XBRL US • Christine Tan, Co-Founder and Chief Research Officer, idaciti • Pranav Ghai, CEO, Calcbench • Lou Rohman, Vice President of XBRL Services, Toppan Merrill NOTE: The views expressed here are solely those of the individual respondents, and they do not necessarily reflect the views of their respective organizations.

  • Q&A Section 6400 for Health Care Entities
    Q&A Section 6400 Health Care Entities .63 Background to Sections 6400.64–.70 — CARES Act Provisions Specific to Health Care Entities The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) attempted to alleviate some of the financial strain on hospitals, physicians, and other health care entities through a series of new policies that temporarily boosted Medicare and Medicaid payments, allowed for added flexibility in treatment modalities, and expanded the availability of advance or accelerated payments from Medicare. In addition, the CARES Act established a Provider Relief Fund to be used for economic support of health care entities in connection with health care-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 and treatment of uninsured COVID-19 patients. Initially, $50 billion of the Provider Relief Fund was allocated for general distribution to a wide range of entities across the U.S. health system (hereinafter referred to as the Phase 1 general distribution allocation). Subsequently, amounts were allocated for additional general distributions and targeted distributions to health care entities with specific characteristics, and an unspecified amount was allocated to pay health care entities for treating uninsured COVID-19 patients. Sections 6400.64–.66 pertain to accounting used by nongovernmental fn 13 health care entities that have received Provider Relief Funds as of the revised date of these sections. [Issue Date: September 2020; Revised: April 2021.] .64 Accounting for Provider Relief Fund General and Targeted Distribution Payments Inquiry — Beginning in April 2020, a total of $175 billion in payments from the Provider Relief Fund has been (or will be) allocated for general and targeted distribution to entities across the U.S.

  • Interpretive Guidance on Revenue Recognition (March 2018)
    Life Sciences Accounting and Financial Reporting Update — Interpretive Guidance on Revenue Recognition March 2018 Revenue Recognition Introduction The sections below discuss revenue recognition topics that are particularly relevant to life sciences entities under both of the following: • The guidance in ASU 2014-09, as amended (the “new revenue standard,” codified primarily in ASC 606). • Legacy guidance (specifically, ASC 605 and SAB Topic 13). For public business entities (PBEs) as well as certain not-for-profit entities (NFPs) and employee benefit plans, the new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. For all other entities, the new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as applicable. New Revenue Standard (Codified Primarily in ASC 606) Background In May 2014, the FASB and IASB issued their final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard, issued as ASU 2014-09 by the FASB and as IFRS 15 by the IASB, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Upon issuing the new revenue standard, the FASB and IASB formed a joint revenue transition resource group (TRG). The purpose of the TRG is not to issue guidance but instead to seek and provide feedback on potential issues related to implementation of the new revenue standard. By analyzing and discussing potential implementation issues, the TRG has helped the boards determine whether to take additional action, such as providing clarification or issuing other guidance.

  • The New Revenue Recognition Standard: Guide for Asset Managers
    November 2019 The New Revenue Recognition Standard: Guide for Asset Managers By Sabina Miroshnikov, Audit Supervisor In an effort to address concerns surrounding the inconsistencies and weaknesses in existing accounting for revenue transactions, Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), establishes a principles-based approach for revenue recognition (regardless of industry or geography). The new guidance will: • Provide for a more standardized foundation for addressing revenue issues; • Improve comparability of revenue recognition across entities; • Provide more useful information to financial statement users through improved disclosure requirements; • and simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an organization must refer. Although, the impact of adoption of the new standard may vary between entities, asset managers will need to re-evaluate fee arrangements under which services are provided to determine accounting changes that will need to be implemented. Those fee arrangements include: • Management fees, unitary management fees and related fee waivers and expense caps; • Incentive or performance fees, including carried interest; • Reimbursement of startup or ongoing costs; • Distribution and related fees, such as fees paid out of fund assets to cover marketing and selling fund shares (12b-1 fees) © 2019 Richey May & Co., LLP All Rights Reserved 1 NOVEMBER 2019 The New Revenue Recognition Standard: Guide for Asset Managers Transitioning to the New Standard The standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption methodology. Under the full retrospective approach, ASC 606 requires determining the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as of the beginning of the first historical period presented, and a comprehensive recasting of the prior year’s financial statements as if the new guidance had always existed for a comparative two- year period prior to the year of adoption.
