Quarterly Accounting Roundupby Magnus Orrell and Joseph Renouf, Deloitte & Touche LLP

To our clients, colleagues, and other friends:

Welcome to Quarterly Accounting Roundup: Third Quarter — 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The Board also released several proposals, including the following:

• A proposed concepts statement that would add Chapter 4, “Elements of Financial Statements,” to Concepts Statement 8,1 which contains the Board’s conceptual framework for financial reporting.

• A proposed ASU that would give insurance companies an additional year to implement ASU 2018-12.2

• A proposed ASU that would allow private companies to use a practical expedient to determine the current market price of the underlying share of equity-classified share-option awards issued to grantees.

On the regulatory front, the SEC released a final rule that modernizes certain disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K, including those on the description of a business, legal proceedings, and risk factors. The final rule is intended to improve the readability of disclosures, reduce repetition, and eliminate immaterial information, thereby simplifying compliance for registrants and making disclosures more meaningful for investors.

SEC also finalized updates to the disclosure requirements for bank and savings and loan registrants (i.e., Industry Guide 33). The final rule eliminates requirements that are duplicative with other SEC regulations or U.S. GAAP or IFRS Standards® and updates the requirements to include certain credit ratios. In addition, in response to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the SEC’s COVID-19 Market Monitoring Group issued its initial observations on credit ratings, procyclicality, and related financial stability issues.

In international news, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB®) completed the second phase of its project on interest rate benchmark reform by releasing a package of amendments addressing issues that might affect financial reporting in connection with the transition of existing interest rate benchmarks to alternative rates. The IASB also released amendments that defer the effective date of its January 2020 amendments to IAS 14 and address concerns and challenges with implementing its new insurance contracts standard, IFRS 17.5

Featured Deloitte Publications

In the third quarter of 2020, Deloitte issued the following new and updated Roadmaps:

• A Roadmap to SEC Reporting Considerations for Guarantees and Collateralizations (new) — Intended to help readers navigate some of the questions that may arise in the application of the SEC’s March 2020 final rule6 that amends the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under SEC Regulation S-X, Rules 3-107 and 3-16.8

• A Roadmap to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Including the Fair Value Option) — Provides an overview of the accounting and disclosure guidance in ASC 8209 and ASC 825 as well as insights into how to apply this guidance in practice. The 2020 edition of this Roadmap includes several new discussions and eliminates certain guidance that is no longer relevant because of the effective dates of several ASUs.

• A Roadmap to Initial Public Offerings — Addresses financial reporting, accounting, and auditing considerations to help companies navigate challenges related to preparing an initial public offering registration statement and ultimately going public.

• A Roadmap to Accounting for Environmental Obligations and Asset Retirement Obligations — Provides Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of the accounting

Registered.”9 For titles of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) references, see Deloitte’s “Titles of Topics and Subtopics in the FASB

Accounting Standards Codification.”

guidance on environmental obligations in ASC 410-30 and asset retirement obligations (AROs) in ASC 410-20. Because the accounting for environmental obligations and AROs will vary depending on the laws and regulations governing such obligations, this publication provides an overview of some of the applicable federal and state environmental laws and regulations in the United States and describes the application of the accounting guidance within the relevant legal framework.

• A Roadmap to Consolidation — Identifying a Controlling Financial Interest — Serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating the frequently complex consolidation accounting models. It breaks down the requirements in ASC 810 and reconstructs them in a logical narrative, making them easier to understand and apply. While the discussion focuses primarily on the complexities of identifying whether a legal entity is a variable interest entity (VIE) and whether a reporting entity should consolidate the VIE, it also addresses the voting interest entity model and provides a framework for its application.

• A Roadmap to Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations — Provides Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of the accounting guidance under ASC 830 and IFRS Standards (in Chapter 10). While the guidance in ASC 830 has not changed significantly over the years, the application of the existing framework has continued to evolve as a result of the increasing interdependence and complexity of international economies and companies’ legal structures.

• A Roadmap to Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests — Provides Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of the guidance on noncontrolling interests, primarily that in ASC 810-10 and ASC 480-10-S99. The guidance in this Roadmap presumes that (1) a parent has already established that consolidation of its subsidiary is appropriate under ASC 810-10 and (2) the equity interests of a subsidiary qualify for equity classification under ASC 480. Consequently, this Roadmap should be viewed as a companion publication to Deloitte’s A Roadmap to Consolidation — Identifying a Controlling Financial Interest (see link above).

• A Roadmap to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Metrics — Combines the SEC’s guidance on non-GAAP measures with Deloitte’s interpretations and examples in a comprehensive, reader-friendly format. The 2020 edition reflects recent developments related to non-GAAP measures, including the SEC’s January 2020 interpretive release10 that provides guidance on the disclosure and use of key performance indicators and metrics.

Further, in the third quarter, Deloitte released several new and updated publications in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic:

• September 11, 2020, Financial Reporting Alert — Takes a strategic look at the COVID-19-related financial reporting and accounting challenges that are top of mind for many companies as well as trending and ongoing issues. This publication also provides insights into different alternatives companies are pursuing in response to the challenges.

• July 22, 2020, Heads Up — Summarizes the disclosure trends we observed in our review of public filings of a sample of companies that adopted the new CECL standard as of the first quarter of 2020, including disclosure trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

• July 1, 2020, Financial Reporting Alert — Discusses considerations related to registrants’ reflecting specific impacts of COVID-19 in their non-GAAP measures. Specific topics addressed include (1) important disclosures associated with the

10 SEC Interpretive Release No. 33-10751, Commission Guidance on Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

presentation of non-GAAP measures, (2) alternatives to non-GAAP measures, (3) disclosure controls and procedures related to non-GAAP measures, and (4) considerations related to income statement classification.

• April 9, 2020 (updated September 18, 2020), Heads Up — Discusses key aspects of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which provides $2.2 trillion of economy wide financial stimulus in the form of financial aid to individuals, businesses, nonprofits, states, and municipalities. The publication has been updated to address disclosure considerations related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain provisions of the CARES Act on an entity’s financial reporting.

• March 25, 2020 (updated September 18, 2020), Financial Reporting Alert — Discusses certain key accounting and financial reporting considerations related to conditions that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as various industry-specific considerations. This publication was updated on September 18, 2020, to discuss disclosure considerations related to the pandemic as well as on July 8, 2020, to reflect (1) the AICPA’s issuance of a technical Q&A on the recognition of interest income and (2) the International Swaps and Derivatives Association’s preclearance consultation with the SEC staff.

Accounting — Newly Issued StandardsFinancial Instruments

FASB Simplifies Issuer’s Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity Affects: All entities.

Summary: On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,11 which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the ASU “simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).” In addition, the ASU “removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it” and “simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas.”

Next Steps: For transition and effective date requirements, see Appendix A.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s August 5, 2020, Heads Up. Also see the press release and FASB in Focus on the FASB’s Web site.

Nonfinancial Assets

FASB Issues Guidance on Not-for-Profit Entities’ Presentation of and Disclosures About Contributed Nonfinancial Assets Affects: Not-for-profit entities.

Summary: On September 17, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-07,12 which requires not-for-profit entities to (1) “present contributed nonfinancial assets as a separate line item in the statement of activities, apart from contributions of cash or other financial assets,” and (2) disclose contributed nonfinancial assets. The objective of the ASU is to “improve transparency in the reporting of contributed nonfinancial assets, also known as gifts-in-kind, for not-for-profit organizations.”

Next Steps: The ASU is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the FASB’s Web site.

IASB Completes Phase 2 of Project on Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Affects: Entities reporting under IFRS Standards.

Summary: On August 27, 2020, the IASB released a package of amendments as part of the second and final phase of its project on interest rate benchmark reform. The amendments address issues that might affect financial reporting in connection with the transition of interest rate benchmarks to alternative benchmark rates.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s September 2, 2020, IFRS in Focus. Also see the press release on the IASB’s Web site.

IASB Defers Effective Date of Amendments to IAS 1 Affects: Entities reporting under IFRS Standards.

Summary: On July 15, 2020, the IASB published amendments that defer by one year the effective date of its January 2020 amendments to IAS 1 on classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent. The purpose of the deferral is to give companies additional time to “implement any classification changes” that could result from the January 2020 amendments.

Next Steps: The amendments to IAS 1 are now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 (the original effective date was January 1, 2022). Early application continues to be permitted.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s July 22, 2020, IFRS in Focus. Also see the press release on the IASB’s Web site.

IASB Publishes Narrow-Scope Amendments to Insurance Contracts Standard Affects: Entities reporting under IFRS Standards.

Summary: On June 25, 2020, the IASB published amendments to its new insurance contracts standard, IFRS 17, to address concerns and implementation challenges that were identified after the standard was released in 2017. Among other changes, the amendments defer the effective date of IFRS 17 by two years.

Next Steps: IFRS 17 is now effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and should be applied retrospectively. Early application is permitted.

FASB Issues Proposed Concepts Statement on Elements of the Financial StatementsAffects: All entities.

Summary: On July 16, 2020, the FASB released for public comment an exposure draft13 of a proposed concepts statement that would add Chapter 4, “Elements of Financial Statements,” to Concepts Statement 8, which contains the Board’s conceptual framework for financial reporting. Specifically, the new chapter would “provide the Board with a framework for developing standards by identifying elements of financial statements that could be appropriate for recognition in the financial statements and relevant to the users of those financial statements.” Further it would “provide the Board with a framework for developing standards in meeting the objective of financial reporting that enhances the understandability of information to existing and potential investors, lenders, donors, and other resource providers of a reporting entity.”

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed concepts statement are due by November 13, 2020.

Insurance

FASB Issues Proposal to Delay Implementation of Long-Duration Contract Standard and Facilitate Early AdoptionAffects: All entities.

Summary: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FASB issued a proposed ASU14 on July 9, 2020, that would grant insurance companies an additional year to implement ASU 2018-12. The proposal would also make early adoption easier by providing transition relief to insurers that do not need the extra time. Under the proposed ASU, “the early application transition date would be the beginning of the prior period presented (rather than the beginning of the earliest period presented), thereby aligning the early application transition date with the standard transition date for SEC filers.”

Comments on the proposed ASU were due by August 24, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

FASB Proposes a Practical Expedient for Private-Company Franchisors on the Identification of Performance Obligations Under ASC 606Affects: All entities.

Summary: On September 21, 2020, the FASB issued a proposed ASU15 that would allow a franchisor that is not a public business entity (“private-company franchisor”) to use a practical expedient when identifying performance obligations in its contracts with customers (i.e., franchisees) under ASC 606. Under the practical expedient, a private-company franchisor

FASB Proposes a Practical Expedient for Determining the Share Price Input for Measuring Equity-Classified Share-Option Awards for Private CompaniesAffects: Private companies.

Summary: On August 17, 2020, the FASB issued for public comment a proposed ASU16 that would allow private companies to use a practical expedient to determine the current market price of the underlying shares of equity-classified share-option awards issued to grantees. Under the practical expedient, private companies would make this determination by using a valuation that such companies have performed to comply with the “presumption of reasonableness” requirements in Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The practical expedient is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of financial reporting while continuing to give private-company stakeholders useful information on which to base investment decisions.

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed ASU are due by October 1, 2020.

Summary: On September 23, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule22 that amends:

• Procedural rules related to the “current ownership requirements to incorporate a tiered approach that provides three options for demonstrating a sufficient ownership stake in a company — through a combination of amount of securities owned and length of time held — to be eligible to submit a proposal; require certain documentation to be provided when a proposal is submitted on behalf of a shareholder-proponent; require shareholder-proponents to identify specific dates and times they can meet with the company in person or via teleconference to engage with the company with respect to the proposal; and provide that a person may submit no more than one proposal, directly or indirectly, for the same shareholders’ meeting.”

• Resubmission thresholds by revising “the levels of shareholder support a proposal must receive to be eligible for resubmission at the same company’s future shareholders’ meetings from 3, 6, and 10 percent to 5, 15, and 25 percent, respectively.”

Next Steps: The final rule will become effective 30 days after the date of its publication in the Federal Register, with certain exceptions detailed in the rule.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

SEC Issues Final Rule on Disclosures for Banking RegistrantsAffects: SEC registrants.

SEC Modernizes Certain Regulation S-K Disclosure RequirementsAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On August 26, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule25 that modernizes the disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K, Item 101,26 on description of a business; Item 10327 on legal proceedings; and Item 10528 on risk factors. The final rule is intended to improve the readability of disclosures, reduce repetition, and eliminate immaterial information, thereby simplifying compliance for registrants and making disclosures more meaningful for investors. The amendments to the disclosure requirements related to a registrant’s description of its business and risk factors are intended to expand the use of a principles-based approach that gives registrants more flexibility to tailor disclosures. The amendments to the disclosure requirements related to legal proceedings continue to reflect the current, more prescriptive approach because those requirements depend less on a registrant’s specific characteristics.

Next Steps: The final rule will become effective 30 days after the date of its publication in the Federal Register.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s September 3, 2020, Heads Up. Also see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

• Remove “sensitive PII from CAT reporting requirements in accordance with the March 2020 PII Exemption Order in order to bring greater certainty to market participants that CAT reporting requirements do not include social security numbers, account numbers and dates of birth” (footnote omitted).

• Preserve and enhance “existing security requirements.”

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed rule are due 45 days after the date of its publication in the Federal Register.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

SEC Announces Temporary Secure File Transfer for Certain MaterialsAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On August 7, 2020, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance announced that, because of COVID-19 concerns, it will provide a “temporary secure file transfer process for the submission of supplemental materials pursuant to Securities Act Rule 418 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-4 and information subject to Rule 83 confidential treatment requests.”

SEC Proposes Improvements to Disclosure Framework for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded FundsAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On August 5, 2020, the SEC issued a proposed rule31 that would enhance its disclosure framework for mutual funds and exchange-traded funds:

• Require “streamlined reports to shareholders that would include, among other things, fund expenses, performance, illustrations of holdings, and material fund changes.”

• Revise “the content of these items to better align disclosures with developments in the markets and investor expectations.”

• Encourage “funds to use graphic or text features — such as tables, bullet lists, and question-and-answer formats — to promote effective communication.”

• Promote “a layered and comprehensive disclosure framework by continuing to make available online certain information that is currently required in shareholder reports but may be less relevant to retail shareholders generally.”

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed rule are due 60 days after the date of its publication in the Federal Register.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

Federal Agencies Issue Guidance on Liquidation of Covered Broker-DealersAffects: Broker-dealers.

Summary: On July 24, 2020, the SEC and FDIC jointly issued a final rule32 that clarifies and implements “provisions relating to the orderly liquidation of certain brokers or dealers (covered broker-dealers) in the event the FDIC is appointed receiver under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act.”

Next Steps: The final rule will become effective on October 30, 2020.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

SEC Amends Proxy Solicitation RulesAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On July 22, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule33 that will (1) “exempt persons furnishing proxy voting advice from the information and filing requirements of the federal proxy rules,” (2) amend the definitions of “solicit” and “solicitation” in Exchange Act Rule 14a-1(l), and (3) include “illustrative examples to the proxy rules’ antifraud provision in Exchange Act Rule 14a-9.” The exemptions are based on “two principles-based requirements designed to ensure that: (1) registrants that are the subject of proxy voting advice have such advice made available to them in a timely manner, and (2) clients of proxy voting advice businesses are provided with an efficient and timely means of becoming aware of any written responses by registrants to proxy voting advice.”

In addition, the SEC is providing supplemental guidance34 concerning proxy voting responsibilities for investment advisers.

Next Steps: The final rule will become effective on November 2, 2020.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

SEC Provides Initial Observations From Its COVID-19 Market Monitoring GroupAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On July 15, 2020, the SEC’s COVID-19 Market Monitoring Group issued its initial observations on credit ratings, procyclicality, and related financial stability issues. These observations included the following:

• “Analysis of potential effects of ratings actions should focus on current circumstances. Given the idiosyncratic nature of the health and economic effects and consequences of COVID-19, we believe that analogies to the role of rating agencies in the 2008 global financial crisis should be approached with caution. We note that, in addition to substantially differing economic conditions and stresses, the relevant analytical assumptions and methodologies used by rating agencies in that period also were substantially different.”

• “Cost of debt capital is driven by a wide range of financial and non-financial factors and forces; ratings downgrades are generally lagging indicators of cost of debt capital.”

32 FDIC and SEC Final Rule No. 34-89394, Covered Broker-Dealer Provisions Under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

33 SEC Final Rule Release No. 34-89372, Exemptions From the Proxy Rules for Proxy Voting Advice.34 SEC Release No. IA-5547, Supplement to Commission Guidance Regarding Proxy Voting Responsibilities of Investment Advisers.

15

• “Observable bunching just above and below the investment grade level may be attributable to various macroeconomic trends, including policy, regulatory and investor choices.”

• “When considering the effects of credit ratings on market structure, including potential procyclicality of ratings downgrades, it is important to take into account the wide and diverse spectrum of our credit markets and all major credit market participant types.”

• “The procyclical effects of credit ratings used in bilateral specialty finance also are appropriate areas for continued monitoring.”

SEC Amends Procedures for Exemptive ApplicationsAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On July 6, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule35 that establishes an expedited review procedure for “exemptive and other applications under the Investment Company Act that are substantially identical to recent precedent, as well as a new informal internal procedure for applications that would not qualify for the new expedited process.”

Next Steps: The final rule will become effective on June 14, 2021.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

Project Status and Next Steps Deloitte Resources

Recognition and Measurement Projects

Accounting by a joint venture for assets contributed by investors

On July 22, 2020, the FASB decided that, upon formation, a joint venture should account for contributions of monetary and nonmonetary assets at fair value as if the joint venture was the acquirer of a business within the scope of ASC 805-10. The FASB will discuss sweep issues, disclosures, and transition at a future meeting.
