FASB Proposes Update To Enhance Guidance On Debt Modifications And Extinguishments

FASB Proposes Update To Enhance Guidance On Debt Modifications And Extinguishments

Contact Us

The FASB has issued an Exposure Draft related to Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50) and Liabilities— Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20)—Accounting for Debt Exchanges.

The FASB has issued the Exposure Draft to address concerns that the accounting that results from the current guidance is not always reflective of the economics of the underlying transactions and that the current guidance can be difficult and costly to apply. The Exposure Draft would apply only to transactions that involve the contemporaneous exchange of cash between the same debtor and creditor in connection with the issuance of a new debt obligation with multiple creditors and the satisfaction of an existing debt obligation. In certain circumstances, this would be treated as an extinguishment of the existing debt and issuance of new debt, without the need to perform the quantitative analysis. If the criteria are not met, the existing requirement for the analysis of the change in cash flows would still be necessary to determine the correct accounting.

Entities would apply the new guidance prospectively after the date of initial adoption, and early adoption would be permitted. The effective date has not yet been determined. The FASB is seeking stakeholder feedback regarding the scope of the proposed update along with other questions about the decision-usefulness of the information, disclosures, the effective date, and transition provisions.

The full text of the Exposure Draft can be found here.
