Quarterly Accounting Roundupby Magnus Orrell and Joseph Renouf, Deloitte & Touche LLP

To our clients, colleagues, and other friends:

Welcome to Quarterly Accounting Roundup: First Quarter — 2018. One of the biggest focuses for accountants and other financial professionals in the first quarter of 2018 was understanding the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which President Trump signed into law on December 22, 2017. Under ASC 740, the effects of new legislation are recognized upon enactment, so recognition of the tax effects of the Act is required in the interim and annual periods that include December 22, 2017. Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Act are related not only to the accounting for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent but also to the accounting for net operating loss carryforwards, the deemed repatriation transition tax, global intangible low-taxed income, foreign-derived intangible income, the base erosion anti-abuse tax, and the corporate alternative minimum tax.

In response to the Act, the SEC has issued (1) SAB 118 to help registrants prepare “an initial accounting of the income tax effects of the Act” and (2) C&DI Question 110.02, which provides the Commission’s views on the “applicability of Item 2.06 of Form 8-K with respect to reporting the impact of a change in tax rate or tax laws pursuant to the Act.” Meanwhile, the FASB has published an ASU on the implications of stranded tax effects and the FASB staff has released a number of Q&As on Act-related issues.

Accounting — Newly Issued Standards

Financial Instruments

FASB Makes Technical Corrections to Guidance on Financial InstrumentsAffects: All entities.

Summary: On February 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03,5 which makes technical corrections to certain aspects of ASU 2016-016 (on recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities), including the following:

• Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value — discontinuation.

• Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value — adjustments.

• Forward contracts and purchased options.

• Presentation requirements for certain fair value option liabilities.

• Fair value option liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.

• Transition guidance for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value.

Next Steps: For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2018-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt the amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between June 15, 2018, and December 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments before adopting the amendments in ASU 2016-01. For all other entities, the effective date will be the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-01. Early adoption of ASU 2018-03 is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, if they have adopted ASU 2016-01.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s March 2, 2018, journal entry.

Income Taxes

Accounting for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Affects: All entities.

Summary: On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the tax legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). Under ASC 740, the effects of new legislation are recognized upon enactment, which (for federal legislation) is the date the president signs a bill into law. Accordingly, recognition of the tax effects of the Act is required in the interim and annual periods that include December 22, 2017.

The SEC and FASB have issued various guidance in response to the Act, including the following:

• SEC — On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued SAB 118 (codified by the SEC as SAB Topic 5.EE7 and incorporated into the FASB Codification through ASU 2018-058) and C&DI9 Question 110.02. According to the press release on the SEC’s Web site, SAB 118 provides the SEC staff’s views on the “application of U.S. GAAP when preparing an initial accounting of the income tax effects of the Act,” while C&DI Question 110.02 provides views on the “applicability of Item 2.06 of Form 8-K with respect to reporting the impact of a change in tax rate or tax laws pursuant to the Act.”

• FASB — On February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,10 which amends ASC 220 to “allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the [Act]” and requires entities to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. See the press release on the FASB’s Web site for more information about ASU 2018-02.

The FASB staff has also released a number of Q&As on Act-related issues:

o Whether Private Companies and Not-for-Profit Entities Can Apply SAB 118.

o Whether to Discount the Tax Liability on the Deemed Repatriation.

o Whether to Discount Alternative Minimum Tax Credits That Become Refundable.

o Accounting for the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax.

o Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income.

For more information about the Q&As, see the January 11, 2018, and January 22, 2018, press releases on the FASB’s Web site.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s January 3, 2018, Financial Reporting Alert (updated on March 20, 2018), which contains responses to FAQs on how an entity should account for the tax effects of the Act in accordance with ASC 740. The publication addresses accounting questions related to SAB 118, ASU 2018-02 and the FASB staff Q&As, the change in corporate tax rate, modifications of carryforwards and certain deductions, the deemed repatriation transition tax, global intangible low-taxed income, foreign-derived intangible income, the base erosion anti-abuse tax, the corporate alternative minimum tax, non-ASC 740 topics affected by tax reform, separate-company financial statements, disclosure considerations, IFRS considerations, and interim reporting considerations.

Leases

FASB Clarifies the Application of the New Leasing Standard to Land EasementsAffects: All entities.

Summary: On January 25, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01,11 which amends the Board’s new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02 (codified in ASC 842), to provide a transition practical expedient for existing or expired land easements (i.e., rights to access, cross, or otherwise use someone else’s land for a specified purpose) that were not previously accounted for in accordance with ASC 840. The practical expedient would allow entities to elect not to assess whether those land easements are, or contain, leases in accordance with ASC 842 when transitioning to the new leasing standard. However, the ASU clarifies that land easements entered into (or existing land easements modified) on or after the effective date of the new leasing standard must be assessed under ASC 842.

Next Steps: The ASU’s effective date and transition requirements are the same as those for ASU 2016-02. See Appendix A for more information.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the FASB’s Web site.

International

IASB Revises Guidance in IAS 19 on Plan Amendments, Curtailments, and SettlementsAffects: Entities reporting under IFRSs.

Summary: On February 7, 2018, the IASB released amendments12 containing revisions to the guidance in IAS 19 on pension plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements. The amendments include the following:

• If a plan amendment, curtailment, or settlement occurs, the current service cost and the net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the remeasurement must be determined by using the assumptions employed for the remeasurement.

• Clarification of the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment, or settlement on the requirements related to the asset ceiling.

Next Steps: The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted but must be disclosed.

Accounting — Exposure DraftsCloud Computing

FASB Issues Proposed ASU on Cloud Computing ArrangementsAffects: All entities.

Summary: On March 1, 2018, the FASB issued for public comment a proposed ASU13 that would amend ASC 350-40 to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that is a service contract. The proposed ASU, which was issued in response to an EITF consensus, would also add certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and CCAs.

Under the proposed ASU, an entity would apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized. For example, while an entity would expense costs incurred in the preliminary-project and post-implementation-operation stages, it would capitalize certain costs incurred during the application-development stage, and it might be able to capitalize certain costs related to enhancements that it made. The proposed ASU would not change the accounting for the service component of a CCA.

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed ASU are due by April 30, 2018.

Other Resources: Deloitte’s March 2, 2018, Heads Up. Also see the press release on the FASB’s Web site.

Hedge Accounting

FASB Proposes to Expand the List of Benchmark Rates for Hedge AccountingAffects: All entities.

Summary: On February 20, 2018, the FASB issued a proposed ASU14 that would amend ASC 815 to “add the OIS rate based on SOFR as a fifth U.S. benchmark interest rate to help companies and other organizations avoid the potential cost and complexity associated with using different cash flows and discount rates to measure the hedged item and the hedging instrument.” Currently, the four eligible benchmark interest rates under ASC 815 are:

• Interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government.

• The London Interbank Offered Rate swap rate.

• The Overnight Index Swap Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate.

• The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association municipal swap rate.

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed ASU are due by March 30, 2018.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the FASB’s Web site.

Summary: On December 22, 2017, the FASB published a maintenance update as part of its project on Codification improvements. The update moves the guidance from ASC 305 (on cash and cash equivalents) to ASC 210 (on the balance sheet), effectively combining the two topics into one; however, no incremental changes to the actual guidance have been made.

Summary: On March 8, 2018, the CAQ and its International Practices Task Force issued a discussion document15 that provides “a framework for compiling inflation data to assist registrants in monitoring inflation statistics in connection with their determination of the inflationary status of countries in which they have operations.” The purpose of the document is to help management apply ASC 830 “in conjunction with its internal controls over financial reporting to reach a conclusion on whether a country’s economy should be considered highly-inflationary.”

FASB Releases 2018 U.S. GAAP and SEC TaxonomiesAffects: All entities.

Summary: On December 21, 2017, the FASB released the 2018 U.S. GAAP financial reporting and SEC reporting taxonomies. The new version of the U.S. GAAP taxonomy “contains updates for accounting standards and other improvements.” The updated SEC taxonomy “contains elements necessary to meet SEC requirements for financial schedules required by the SEC, condensed consolidating financial information for guarantors, and disclosures about oil- and gas-producing activities.”

The SEC approved both taxonomies on March 19, 2018.

Summary: On March 16, 2018, the CAQ issued a publication16 that summarizes common themes from its series of roundtable discussions on non-GAAP measures held last year. The publication “provides a set of key considerations for audit committees, including leading practices to assess whether a company’s non-GAAP metrics present a balanced representation of the company’s performance.”

Regulatory and Compliance DevelopmentsSEC

SEC Proposes Amendments to Liquidity Disclosure Requirements for Investment CompaniesAffects: Investment companies.

Summary: On March 14, 2018, the SEC issued a proposed rule17 that would “improve the reporting and disclosure of liquidity information by registered open-end investment companies.” Specifically, the proposal would:

• Require funds to “disclose information about the operation and effectiveness of their liquidity risk management program in their annual reports to shareholders.”

• Remove the requirement in Form N-PORT related to the disclosure of “aggregate liquidity classification information about [a fund’s] portfolios.”

• Amend Form N-PORT to “allow funds classifying the liquidity of their investments pursuant to their liquidity risk management programs required by rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to report on Form N-PORT multiple liquidity classification categories for a single position under certain specified circumstances.”

• Require “funds and other registrants [to] report their holdings of cash and cash equivalents” in Form N-PORT.

Next Steps: Comments on the proposed rule are due by May 18, 2018.

Other Resources: For more information, see the press release on the SEC’s Web site.

SEC Issues Interpretive Guidance on CybersecurityAffects: SEC registrants.

Summary: On February 21, 2018, the SEC issued interpretive guidance (the “release”)18 in response to the pervasive increase in digital technology as well as the severity and frequency of cybersecurity threats and incidents. The release largely refreshes existing SEC staff guidance related to cybersecurity and, like that guidance, does not establish any new disclosure obligations but rather presents the SEC’s views on how its existing rules should be interpreted in connection with cybersecurity threats and incidents. In a public statement about the release, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton noted that he has asked the Division of Corporation Finance to continue to closely monitor cybersecurity disclosures as part of its filing review process and that the SEC will continue to evaluate whether further guidance is needed.

In 2011, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance issued principles-based guidance19 that provided the SEC’s views on cybersecurity disclosure obligations, including those related to risk factors, MD&A, and the financial statements. The release expands on the concepts discussed in that guidance and concentrates more heavily on cybersecurity policies and controls, most notably those related to cybersecurity escalation procedures and the application of insider trading prohibitions. Further, the release addresses the importance of avoiding selective disclosure as well as considering the role of the board of directors in risk oversight.

The release applies to public operating companies, including foreign private issuers, but does not address the specific implications of cybersecurity for other regulated entities under the federal securities laws, such as registered investment companies, investment advisers, brokers, dealers, exchanges, and self-regulatory organizations.

The interpretation became effective on February 26, 2018.

Project Status and Next Steps Deloitte Resources

Recognition and Measurement Projects

Accounting for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which provides entities with an option to reclassify certain stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

Further, the FASB staff has issued five Q&A documents to address implementation issues related to the Act.

Financial Reporting Alert — Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Reform (January 3, 2018; last updated on March 20, 2018)

Financial Reporting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017

Codification improvements (previously referred to as technical corrections and improvements)

On September 27, 2017, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would make technical corrections and improvements related to recognition and measurement of financial instruments (ASU 2016-01) and leases (ASU 2016-02). Comments were due by November 13, 2017.

On February 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, which makes technical corrections and improvements related to recognition and measurement of financial instruments.

On January 24, 2018, the Board discussed feedback received with respect to leases and directed the staff to draft a final ASU for a vote by written ballot. The ASU is expected to be issued in the first quarter of 2018.

On October 3, 2017, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would make Codification improvements to a wide variety of topics. Comments were due by December 4, 2017.
