Contractors—Federal Government

220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

Source downloaded: .Record version 8b65ccab5770. Effective date must be checked in the source.

This industry-specific subtopic addresses how a federal government contractor presents amounts in the income statement relating to terminated contracts. After ASC 2014-09 superseded most of its guidance, the only surviving rule is that items the contractor keeps without making a claim for cost or loss stay on the balance sheet as inventory or deferred charges (220-912-45-3).

Key points (4)
  • The Subtopic's purpose is presentation in the income statement of amounts relating to terminated contracts (220-912-05-1).
  • Scope follows the federal government contractor Overall Subtopic, Section 912-10-15 (220-912-15-1).
  • Items the contractor retains without claim for cost or loss remain as inventory or deferred charges in the contractor's accounts rather than being charged to income (220-912-45-3).
  • Paragraphs 220-912-45-1, 45-2 and 45-4 were superseded by ASU No. 2014-09, so most former termination-claim presentation guidance is now governed by the revenue recognition model.

For students. Mostly a historical shell: ASU 2014-09 gutted this Subtopic, leaving only the rule that retained items with no claim stay in inventory/deferred charges. The common mistake is looking here for termination-claim revenue guidance instead of ASC 606 and 912-10.
