The Private Company Council (PCC) met on Friday, December 8, 2017. At the meeting, the FASB staff delivered updates (and the PCC provided input) on the following FASB topics:

Customer's Accounting for Implementation, Setup, and Other Upfront Costs (Implementation Costs) Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (CCA) That Is Considered a Service Contract. PCC members expressed their view that implementation costs should be capitalized in these arrangements, but not the fees for a CCA that is considered to be a service contract.
Financial Performance Reporting. PCC members discussed the results of research performed by the FASB staff on private company financial statements and the potential impact disaggregation of performance information could have within the private company sector.
