This Roadmap provides Deloitte’s
insights into and interpretations of the guidance in ASC 805 on business
combinations, pushdown accounting, common-control transactions, and asset
acquisitions as well as an overview of related SEC reporting requirements. The
Roadmap reflects guidance issued through November 25, 2020, and discusses several
active FASB projects that may result in changes to current requirements.
While the accounting frameworks for this guidance have been in place
for many years, views on applying them continue to evolve. This publication is
intended to help entities navigate the guidance and arrive at appropriate accounting
conclusions.
This Roadmap replaces the Deloitte Q&As that were contained in
ASC 805. To find the text in the Roadmap that corresponds to a former Q&A,
select the “Business Combinations” tab at the bottom of the Q&A to Roadmap Quick Reference
Guide and search for the Q&A’s number or title.

series, our comprehensive, easy-to-understand collection of
accounting guides on selected topics of broad interest to the financial reporting
community.
