Genuine Learning Blog – FASB ED: Purchased Financial Assets

| , ,

In June, the FASB proposed changes to the accounting for purchased financial assets. Based on feedback obtained in its post-issuance review of CECL, stakeholders found the guidance on PCD vs Non-PCD assets confusing and unhelpful. FASB is proposing removing the distinction and expanding the accounting for PCD assets to most purchased financial assets. Comments are due August 28.

SCACPA is excited to partner with Galasso Learning Solutions and the Genuine Learning Blog for real-time A&A updates and answers for SCACPA members.

With over 15 years of experience in the accounting profession, Melisa Galasso designs and facilitates courses in advanced technical accounting and auditing topics, including not-for-profit and governmental accounting.
