### Machine-generated study aids

{
  "summary": "ASC 305-942 was the industry-specific guidance on cash and cash equivalents for depository and lending institutions (banks, savings institutions, credit unions). Every paragraph in the subtopic — scope, presentation, and disclosure — was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-21, so the subtopic contains no operative guidance. Entities in this industry now apply the general guidance in ASC 305 and, for restricted/reserve balances and cash flow classification, ASC 942-305 and ASC 230.",
  "key_points": [
    "All content of this subtopic (305-942-05-1, 05-2, 15-1, 45-1, and 50-1) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-21 and imposes no requirements.",
    "Because the subtopic is empty, depository and lending entities look to the general Cash and Cash Equivalents guidance in ASC 305-10 for recognition and presentation.",
    "Industry-specific balance sheet and disclosure guidance for banks' cash items, including required reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks, resides in the Topic 942 industry Subtopic (942-305) rather than here.",
    "Maintenance Updates are non-substantive Codification corrections, so the supersession reflected relocation/cleanup rather than a change in accounting."
