This Roadmap provides Deloitte’s insights into and interpretations of the guidance in ASC 805 on business combinations, pushdown accounting, common-control transactions, and asset acquisitions as well as an overview of related SEC reporting requirements. The Roadmap reflects guidance issued through December 8, 2021, and discusses several active FASB projects that may result in changes to current requirements.
While the accounting frameworks for this guidance have been in place for many years, views on applying them continue to evolve. This publication is intended to help entities navigate the guidance and arrive at appropriate accounting conclusions. The updated Roadmap also includes On the Radar, a new section (also available as a stand-alone publication) that briefly summarizes emerging issues and trends related to the accounting and financial reporting topics addressed in the Roadmap.
This Roadmap replaces the Deloitte Q&As that were contained in ASC 805. To find the text in the Roadmap that corresponds to a former Q&A, select the “Business Combinations” tab at the bottom of the Q&A to Roadmap Quick Reference Guide and search for the Q&A’s number or title.
