This course will guide not-for-profit (NFP) advisers and businesses that receive or make contributions subject to ASU 2018-08 through its reporting requirements. The panel will discuss distinguishing between contributions and exchanges, conditional vs. nonconditional contributions, and implementing the required modifications.

Description

New revenue recognition standards created questions about how not-for-profit (NFP) recipients and donors should record asset transfers. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-08, Not-for-Profit Entities, "Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Made." With implementation dates both past and upcoming, (applicable to annual periods beginning after June 15, 2018, or beginning after Dec. 15, 2018, depending on whether the entity is a resource recipient or resource provider) understanding these changes is critical.

This ASU outlines how to determine whether grants are accounted for as exchange transactions subject to ASC 606 or contributions; and if a contribution, whether the transaction is conditional or unconditional.

There is a decision tree flow-chart included in the ASU to assist entities in classifying transactions. Although its issuance is a clarification, determining the classification of receipts isn't always clear. Sometimes the recipient receives a pass-through award; other times there are performance obligations tied to receipts. This update has a significant impact on the classification of many government grants.

Listen as our panel of experts explains the details of ASU 2018-08, including how to correctly classify, record, and disclose contributions made and received under this update.
