group meets the held-for-sale criteria.

Assets to Be Abandoned
|
Incorporated additional (1) guidance on the revision of
depreciation estimates when an asset is planned to be

Nonmonetary Exchange
|
Clarified that if a nonmonetary exchange does not meet
any of the conditions in ASC 845-10-30-3 and is
