Type of Document and Timing Based on the Technical Plan:

Tentative Board Decisions:
The Board discussed two proposed amendments to the guidance in the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The proposed amendments would clarify the Board’s original intent to:
- Provide separate and staggered effective date requirements for SEC filer public business entities (PBEs), non-SEC filer PBEs, and all other entities (non-PBEs) by amending paragraph 326-10-65-1 to require that non-PBEs adopt the amendments in Update 2016-13 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. (Vote: 6-0)
- Exclude operating lease receivables from the scope of Subtopic 326-20. (Vote: 6-0)
Analysis of Costs and Benefits
The Board concluded that it has received sufficient information and analysis to make an informed decision on the issues presented and that the expected benefits of the proposed amendments justify the expected costs.
