Stages Out, Simplicity In: FASB’s New Proposal on Internal-Use Software Accounting!

With the rise of agile development and modern technology, it’s time to ditch the old stage-based approach and embrace updates that better reflect how software is developed today.

Here’s what’s proposed:

  • Modernization: Streamlined accounting rules for internal-use software (Subtopic 350-40) that align with contemporary methods.
  • Transparency: Improved visibility into cash flows tied to software costs for smarter investor insights.
  • Clarity: Simplified guidance that brings website development costs under the same umbrella.
