Transactions with parties related to a reporting entity are relatively common. However, transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis. As such, disclosure of related party transactions enables users of financial statements to evaluate their impact to the financial statements. ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, is the primary accounting guidance on this topic, coupled with certain SEC guidance. This chapter describes the presentation and disclosure requirements and provides examples of common related party relationships and transactions.
