This publication summarizes the new accounting standards with mandatory effective dates in the first quarter of 2025 for public entities, as well as new standards that take effect in annual 2024 financial statements for nonpublic entities. We have also included links to BDO’s guidance on each pronouncement as applicable.
In the next filing season, calendar year-end public entities will prepare their annual 2024 financial statements, followed closely by their March 31, 2025, first quarter reports. Under SAB 74, entities will disclose in their 2024 annual filings the expected impact of adopting the FASB’s new standards on their financial statements. Standards issued after this publication’s date (see FASB list of ASUs issued) are unlikely to affect first-quarter financial statements, but entities should consider them in preparing SAB 74 disclosures. For many public entities, the most significant changes will result from adopting the new segment reporting and income tax disclosure requirements.
On a similar timeline, calendar year-end nonpublic entities will prepare their annual 2024 financial statements reflecting standards that took effect in 2024. Nonpublic entities that report on a calendar year adopt the changes to accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity effective as of the year-end reporting date of December 31, 2024, which may require significant effort.
Early adoption is generally permitted for all standards summarized herein, but each ASU has specific transition guidance, and early adoption may have been limited to certain periods or circumstances. Please refer to BDO’s publications listed below and our overview, Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections for more information.
