July 25, 2012 FASB Board Meeting
Technical corrections. Several external reviewers of a draft of the final Update advised the Board that three amendments may have unintended financial reporting consequences. The Board considered that feedback and decided to remove those proposed amendments from the scope of this Technical Corrections and Improvements project so they could be further analyzed. Those amendments relate to (1) rabbi trusts (paragraph 96 of the proposed Update), (2) proportionate consolidation (paragraph 15), and (3) disclosure of net appreciation of net assets available for plan benefits (paragraphs 280, 282, 283, 290, and 293). After the additional analysis is complete, the Board will consider whether any changes would best be made through the next Technical Corrections and Improvements project, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or in some other way.
