Update 2014-03—Derivatives & Hedging Election allows privately held companies to have an alternative treatment, less expensive, avoid FV Applies to specific receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swaps (in essence allows entity to treat variable rate interest as fixed through swap) Excludes NFP, public companies, most EBPs, and financial institutions
11
Election Allows entity to measure the swap at settlement value rather than FV at each balance sheet date Ignore the nonperformance risk in valuation Assumption is that the hedge protects private business
12
6 Conditions Needed to Elect Variable rate of interest on swap & debt have same basis Terms on swap have no floor or cap (“plain vanilla swap”) Repricing and settlement dates are near same Swap fair value at inception is near zero Notional amount of swap and debt are same All interest payments are being hedged

Implementing FRF for SMEs
21
Session Objective(s): Understand FRF for SMEs and its history Learn best practices for implementing FRF for SMEs Learn lessons from real-life implementation stories
22
FRF for SMEs Released June 2013 Background & Context
23
Current SPF reporting environment: US GAAP Not Required GAAP not required for many small- and medium-sized entities IFRS for SMEs Lack of familiarity, higher learning curve, not US- centric, form of GAAP Other Special Purpose Frameworks Tax or modified cash basis may be inappropriate or insufficient for some SMEs/users Special Purpose Frameworks (OCBOA):
24
Another option…... a framework to deliver tailored financial reporting for America’s small business community … a framework with streamlined, common- sense requirements based on traditional and proven accounting methods … a framework to provide robust, meaningful financial reports to business owners, lenders, insurers and others without needless complexity
25
An additional non-GAAP framework
26
Separate from FASB and PCC FRF for SMEs Not GAAP - Special Purpose Framework Complementary to efforts by FASB/PCC AICPA fully supports the work of the PCC and FASB to address the private company environment Private Company Council GAAP Modify GAAP for private companies
27
Who could use it? – Small and medium-sized entities – Owner-managed/for-profit – Can be used by any industry group – Incorporated and unincorporated For use when GAAP-based financial statements are not needed
28
Who is it for? Owner-Managers Depend on reliable financial statements to – Confirm assessments of performance – Determine what they owe/own – Understand cash flows Users External financial statement users who have direct access to management Non-issuers No intent of going public
29
Characteristics of typical entities Entity does not operate in an industry that has highly specialized accounting guidance – such as financial institutions and investment companies Entity does not engage in overly complicated transactions Entity does not have significant foreign operations Financial statement users may have greater interest in cash flows, liquidity, statement of financial position strength and interest coverage
30
Features Standalone framework Concise Suitable criteria for general-use financial statements Accrual based Blend of traditional accounting and accrual income tax methods Fewer adjustments from book to tax
31
Features Excess narrative avoided Eschews prescriptive rules Use of professional judgment Intuitive and understandable Stable yet nimble
32
Framework in Action
33
CPAs are putting FRF for SMEs to use… Firms assessing client base Using tools and resources available on AICPA website Taking steps to implement, and actually converting clients Otherwise risk losing business or missing opportunities
34
Identifying Candidates Entities using GAAP Departures Outside requirement for GAAP Non-issuers Not highly specialized accounting guidance
35
Identifying Candidates Entities using Tax-Basis Accounting Significant use of accelerated depreciation Debt with outside parties
36
Identifying Candidates Entities using Cash Basis Accounting Difficult to convert Expanding operations and seeking financing
37
Identified – Now What? Prepared financial information to compare current reporting framework to FRF for SMEs Meeting to discuss with client – ensure understanding Easier “Made sense” Discuss cost concerns
38
Identified – Now What? Set up meeting with users of financial statements Present comparison of current financial statements to those prepared under FRF for SMEs Explain needs are being met User’s needs Business entity’s needs – helps them run their business Potential cost savings
39
Acceptance Hurdles Modify debt covenants Lack of user’s understanding that they can still get a compilation, review or audit report
40
Finding Success CPA in Ohio ─ converted clients save a lot on disclosures; financials are more relevant CPA in FL ─ influenced local BofA branch to accept FRF for SMEs on behalf of a client
41
Finding Success CPA in AK ─ met with client starting new construction company; bonding agency agreed to use FRF for SMEs CPA in WA ─ “We met with 18 banks… They appreciated the framework’s comprehensiveness and relevant disclosures.”
42
Experience with Bankers & other Users CPAs introducing FRF for SMEs and educating state bank organizations FRF for SMEs treated as OCBOA Mostly positive responses Bankers want to see what they are getting Use tools – sample financial statements and comparison charts
43
Banking regulators/acceptance Discussed FRF for SMEs with regulators/exam chiefs Bankers accept OCBOA today/Flexible with smaller businesses Exam chiefs will treat FRF for SMEs as another OCBOA
44
“A new effort to streamline financial reporting could help credit officers make small-business loans without studying a mountain of footnote- laden documents.” -American Banker, 1/27/14 “The framework could help our bank land small-business customers…” ‒ Banker from MO
