FASB tentatively decides to defer the new revenue standard
Apr 01, 2015
On April 1, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board tentatively decided to defer for one year the effective date of the new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09 Revenue From Contracts With Customers) for public and non-public entities reporting under U.S. GAAP.
The Board also tentatively decided to permit entities to early adopt the standard. The tentative decisions will be exposed in an upcoming proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) with a 30-day comment period.
It is currently unclear whether the IASB will defer the effective date of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; the IASB plans to discuss this issue later in April.
