FASB Staff Proposes Improvements to 2026 GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy

The FASB staff has released for public comment proposed improvements to the 2026 GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy (GRT). The proposed improvements are intended to ”reduce inconsistencies in application and enhance the intended use of the elements while minimizing the effect on instance documents prepared using prior versions of the GRT and the effect on users and systems that consume these instance documents.”

Comments on the proposed taxonomy improvements are due by October 31, 2025.
