FASB Backs EITF Decisions on Four Issues

Based on the FASB's decisions at its most recent meeting, three Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensuses will be issued as proposals for public comment. A fourth will be published as a final standard.

  1. EITF Issue No. 09-G, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts,” will be issued as a final standard.
  2. The board also agreed to publish EITF Issue No. 09-H, “Health Care Entities: Revenue Recognition,” as a proposal. The proposed amendment to U.S. GAAP calls upon health care providers to disclose the policy for considering the collectability of an unpaid medical bill.
  3. The task force agreed to seek public comments on EITF Issue No. 10-A, "How the Carrying Amount of a Reporting Unit Should Be Determined When Performing Step 1 of the Goodwill Impairment Test,"
  4. The task force agreed to seek public comments on EITF Issue No. 10-G, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.”
