if the liability increases/decreases before the time of retirement of the tangible capital asset: Adjust the corresponding deferred outflow of resources
if the liability increases/decreases at or after the time of retirement of the tangible capital asset: recognize an outflow or inflow of resources

Presenting expenses by nature and function will provide financial statement users with greater transparency about how an NFP uses its resources.

ASU (cont.)
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
Statement of Cash Flows Issue
Consensus
Issue 1 – Debt Prepayment or Extinguishment Costs. How should an entity classify a cash payment for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs?
Classify as a cash outflow for financing activities.
Issue 2 – Settlement of Zero-Coupon Bonds. How should an entity classify the cash payment for the statement of a zero-coupon bond?
In addition to zero coupon bonds, the scope of this issue would include bonds issued at a discount with an insignificant cash coupon.
For bonds within the scope of this issue, at settlement, classify the portion of the cash payment attributable to the accreted interest as a cash outflow for operating activities, and the portion attributable to the principal (original proceeds) as a cash outflow for financing activities.
At settlement, classify the entire cash payment associated with other bonds issued at a discount (i.e., bonds excluded from the scope of this issue) as a cash outflow for financing activities.
Issue 3 – Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination. How should an entity classify a cash payment made after a business combination to settle a contingent consideration liability?
Classify amounts that were not paid soon after the business combination took place into separate cash outflows for financing activities and operating activities.
Classify as a cash outflow for financing activities the portion of the cash payment that is less than or equal to the amount of the liability recognized at the acquisition date for the contingent consideration, and classify the remainder of the cash outflow as an operating activity.

26. ASU 2016-15 (cont.) 26 YEAR-END GAAP TRAINING MAY 2017
Statement of Cash Flows Issue
Consensus
Issue 4 – Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims. How should an entity classify proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims?
Classify the proceeds based on the nature of the loss. Reasonable judgment may be required to determine how to identify and classify each loss that is included in a lump-sum settlement.
Issue 5 – Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI) Policies. How should an entity classify insurance premiums paid and proceeds received from the settlement of a COLI policy?
Classify premiums paid as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities.
Classify cash proceeds received as a cash inflow from investing activities.
Issue 6 – Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees. How should an entity (an investor) classify distributions received from an equity method investee?
Make an accounting policy election to use either the cumulative-earnings approach or the look-through approach for all investees.
Cumulative-Earnings Approach. Presume that all distributions are returns on the investment, and classify them as operating inflows. However, if the investor’s cumulative distributions less distributions in prior years that were determined to be return of investment exceed the investor’s cumulative equity in earnings, consider the current period distribution up to this excess to be a return of the investment, and classify the amount as an investing inflow.
Look-Through Approach. Classify distributions received based on the specific facts and circumstances. If the entity does not have the information necessary to evaluate the specific facts and circumstances of a distribution received from an investee, it would apply the cumulative-earnings.

27. ASU 2016-15 (cont.) 27 YEAR-END GAAP TRAINING MAY 2017
Statement of Cash Flows Issue
Consensus
Issue 7 – Beneficial Interests In Securitization Transactions. How should a transferor present the beneficial interest obtained in a securitization of financial assets? How should the transferor classify cash receipts from its beneficial interest in a securitization of trade receivables?
The transferor would disclose the receipt of a beneficial interest in a securitization of financial assets as a noncash activity.
The transferor would classify cash receipts from its beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables as a cash inflow from investing activities.
Issue 8 – Application of the Predominance Principle. When should an entity separate cash receipts and cash payments and classify them into more than one class of cash flows? When should an entity classify the aggregate of those cash receipts and payments into one class of cash flows based on predominance?
In the absence of specific guidance, use reasonable judgement to separate the identifiable sources and uses of an aggregate cash receipt or payment. Classify each separately identifiable source or use based on its nature.
If cash receipts and payment have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated by source or use, the classification depends on the activity that likely would be the predominant source or use of cash flows.
