This course will address financial reporting considerations in light of the recent pandemic. The panel will detail financial statement, disclosure, and reporting matters, including loss contingencies, going-concern and subsequent event disclosures, collectibility of assets, and other areas that accountants must consider after COVID-19.

Description

The impact of COVID-19 on financial reporting is phenomenal. In addition to determining what areas are impacted, an accountant must also decide whether the effect should be recognized, disclosed, or both. Determinations as to what is or is not reported or disclosed are often affected by the level of statement issued.

Even when the impact of the pandemic is after the financial statement date, disclosures may be required. ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events explains requirements for subsequent events. The overall decline in the market touches most balance sheet accounts, requiring an evaluation of asset impairment, loss contingencies, and estimates.

After analyzing, the accountant must consider whether an Emphasis-of-Matter Paragraph and Other-Matter Paragraph in the accountants' report may be required. Financial preparers must be aware of the numerous matters that they must address in light of the coronavirus.

Listen as our panel of reporting experts explains new considerations after COVID-19, including disclosures for going concern, subsequent event, risk and uncertainties, loss contingencies, and how the level of financial statement issued impacts these determinations.
