A&A TODAY: PRESENTED BY THE WSCPA AND GALASSO LEARNING SOLUTIONS

FASB has proposed changes to Topic 842, Leases for related parties under common control. The proposal would change the evaluation of the lease term for private entities under common control to allow the use of what was in writing. The proposal would also change the amortization of leasehold improvements for all common control entities including public entities. Comments are due January 16, 2023.

Do you believe this will help reduce costs of implementation for private companies?
