We continue our series on the accounting implications of the war in Ukraine with a discussion of the indirect impacts of the conflict.
In the last of our four-episode series covering the implications of the war in Ukraine, we focus on accounting considerations for indirect impacts of the conflict, such as those related to customers.
In this episode, Heather Horn was joined by Angela Fergason and Bret Dooley, partners in PwC’s National Office, to discuss some of the specific, but indirect, accounting topics and questions companies should consider.

  • 1:52 - How to perform collectibility assessments for transactions with impacted customers

  • 10:32 - Accounting considerations when a company chooses to discontinue customer relationships

  • 14:55 - Impairment and valuation considerations for financial assets
  • 20:08 - Considerations for designated hedge transactions when the forecasted transaction may no longer be probable
