FASAC Holds December 2020 Meeting

At its December 15, 2020, meeting, the FASB’s Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Council (FASAC) discussed “complexity in financial reporting including different expectations between the level of precision required in applying GAAP (for preparers and practitioners) and the level of precision produced in the financial statements (for investors and other financial statement users).” In addition, the FASAC addressed topics related to accounting standards and financial statements in the current environment, including (1) disclosures about COVID-19-related assistance; (2) non-GAAP information related to COVID-19; (3) disclosures about current expected credit losses; and (4) environmental, social, and corporate governance.
