FASB ITC - Agenda Consultation
TXCPA’s Professional Standards Committee responded to FASB’s agenda consultation, urging simplification of equity method accounting, clearer common control definitions, and streamlined liability vs. equity guidance.
The TXCPA Professional Standards Committee (PSC) submitted feedback to the FASB in response to its Invitation to Comment on the future standard-setting agenda. Representing preparers and auditors, the PSC highlighted concerns about the complexity and limited usefulness of the equity method of accounting, suggesting either its elimination or an elective alternative under Topic 321. The PSC also emphasized the need for a formal definition of common control due to evolving business structures. Lastly, they recommended simplifying the overly complex guidance distinguishing liabilities from equity, particularly focusing on improving indexation guidance.
