  "summary": "ASC 815-958 is a link-only subtopic: it contains no substantive rules of its own but points not-for-profit entities to the derivatives guidance that applies to them. It directs readers to 958-30-25-7 through 25-14 to decide whether an obligation arising from an irrevocable split-interest agreement contains an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation under 815-15-25-1, and (upon transition) to 815-20-25-3A and 815-20-25-143 for the timing of hedge documentation and hedge effectiveness assessments by certain NFPs.",
  "key_points": [
    "The Subtopic's stated purpose is only to provide links to other guidance — on embedded derivatives in irrevocable split-interest agreement obligations and, upon transition, on NFP hedge documentation/effectiveness timing (815-958-05-1).",
    "Scope follows the Overall Not-for-Profit Subtopic, Section 958-10-15 (815-958-15-1).",
    "To determine whether an obligation arising from an irrevocable split-interest agreement contains an embedded derivative warranting separate accounting under 815-15-25-1, apply 958-30-25-7 through 25-14 (815-958-25-1).",
    "Upon transition, see 815-20-25-3A and 815-20-25-143 regarding the timing of hedge documentation and hedge effectiveness assessments for certain not-for-profit entities (815-958-25-2).",
    "Example 2 at 958-30-55-6 through 55-29 provides eight cases illustrating how 958-30-25-7 through 25-14 apply to various split-interest agreements (815-958-55-1).",
    "The transition date for the added hedging-link content is December 16, 2026, with transition guidance in 105-10-65-10."

A common mistake is to assume NFPs have special derivative measurement rules; the only NFP-specific relief here is the deferred timing of hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments.",
