This installment of the Genuine Learning Blog includes two proposals from the FASB. One proposed ASU addresses three implementation issues identified in implementation of ASU 2016-02, Leases. The other proposal addresses the scope of reference rate reform. Both have short comment letter periods due to the very narrow scope of the standards.
