This course is designed to give you a clear and concise understanding of the latest FASB changes that impact nonpublic entities, perfect for professionals who prepare or audit GAAP financials. In the first section, we’ll walk through every Accounting Standards Update (ASU) issued in 2023 to 2026 that take effect in 2026 and beyond. We’ll focus on explaining what’s changed, which topics are affected, and the key provisions you need to know about. Additionally, we’ll discuss how these updates impact financial reporting and disclosure, and, when possible, we’ll explore the reasons behind the changes. By the end of this section, you’ll be able to identify which ASUs apply to your clients or your own practice and where you may need to dive deeper into further research. In the second section, we’ll explore the FASB's technical project and agenda, including a discussion of proposed Accounting Standards Updates that were exposed for public comment in 2025 and 2026. This section will provide you with practical insights to help you navigate the evolving landscape of GAAP and ensure compliance.
