Neither a not-for-profit entity nor an employee benefit plan is a business entity. It is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to file or furnish financial statements, or does file or furnish financial statements (including voluntary filers), with the SEC (including other entities whose financial statements or financial information are required to be or are included in a filing). It is required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act), as amended, or rules or regulations promulgated under the Act, to file or furnish financial statements with a regulatory agency other than the SEC. It is required to file or furnish financial statements with a foreign or domestic regulatory agency in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer. It has issued, or is a conduit bond obligor for, securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market. It has one or more securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, and it is required by law, contract, or regulation to prepare U.S. GAAP financial statements (including notes) and make them publicly available on a periodic basis (for example, interim or annual periods). An entity must meet both of these conditions to meet this criterion. An entity may meet the definition of a public business entity solely because its financial statements or financial information is included in another entity's filing with the SEC. In that case, the entity is only a public business entity for purposes of financial statements that are filed or furnished with the SEC.\"><span>public business entity</span></a>.</span></span> </div> </div>","snippet":"This Subtopic addresses a practical expedient for revenue recognition for a franchisor that is not a public business entity.","pending":false,"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:29f87bb2317109e05eabdad7202b1519b7e229a15e825c1b9ec5c997c0991c15","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478397","source_sha256":"d03cd23353e78e111be76cfe8f89a2767d41fabf10926d4a58c72860046615e6"}}],"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:4b8d72d8f9eccb74b82e21b29fd8f756ce82e7e6c04eb8eb6192d5ce6ceee58a","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478397","source_sha256":"d03cd23353e78e111be76cfe8f89a2767d41fabf10926d4a58c72860046615e6"}}],"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:d493c97ed04dc8751a556e691f5c25987b10267c274a5d56bc6ceafa768bc7fb","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478397","source_sha256":"d03cd23353e78e111be76cfe8f89a2767d41fabf10926d4a58c72860046615e6"}},"provenance":{"source_url":"https://asc.fasb.org/","snapshot_version":"sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f","record_version":"sha256:d493c97ed04dc8751a556e691f5c25987b10267c274a5d56bc6ceafa768bc7fb","downloaded_from":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","last_downloaded_at":"2026-09-09T23:18:37.156Z","date_scope":"source_page","effective_as_of":null,"effective_as_of_status":"Not established by retrieval timestamps","source_key":"1943274/2147478397","source_sha256":"d03cd23353e78e111be76cfe8f89a2767d41fabf10926d4a58c72860046615e6"}}
