This webinar will closely examine ASU 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosures of Crypto Assets. Our knowledgeable panel of accounting and auditing professionals will describe each component of the new ASU and explain the steps to transition to the latest reporting guidelines for those responsible for preparing and reviewing financial statements.

Description

In December 2023, FASB issued a new ASU to better account for the volatile nature of crypto assets. The new standard applies to any entity issuing financial statements that holds cryptocurrency or similar assets. The scope guidance outlines which assets are covered by the new ASU. Among the requirements is that the asset be intangible and must be created or reside on a distributed blockchain ledger or similar technology.

Crypto assets are now reported separately from other intangible assets on the balance sheet, and their gains and losses are reported separately on the income statement. Unlike other intangible assets, crypto assets are valued at fair value. The volatile fluctuations alone will provide challenges for accounting and auditing professionals. The new standard is effective for periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. Financial statement preparers and advisers must fully understand the new reporting and disclosure requirements.

Listen as our panel of blockchain reporting experts explains the requirements of ASU 2023-08 and offers recommendations for its implementation.
