This Roadmap breaks down the
requirements in ASC 810 and reconstructs them in a logical narrative, making them
easier to understand and apply. While the discussion focuses primarily on the
complexities of identifying whether a legal entity is a variable interest entity
(VIE) and whether a reporting entity should consolidate the VIE, it also addresses
the voting interest entity model and provides a framework for its application.
The 2021 edition of the Roadmap
includes updated and expanded guidance as well as On the Radar, a new section (also
available as a stand-alone publication) that
briefly summarizes emerging issues and trends related to the accounting and
financial reporting topics addressed in the Roadmap.
This Roadmap replaces the Deloitte Q&As that were contained in
ASC 810. To find the text in the Roadmap that corresponds to a former Q&A,
select the “Consolidation” tab at the bottom of the Q&A to Roadmap Quick Reference Guide
and search for the Q&A’s number or title.
Be sure to check out other titles in Deloitte’s Roadmap
series, our comprehensive, easy-to-understand collection of
accounting guides on selected topics of broad interest to the financial reporting
community.
