  "summary": "ASC 845-926 was the industry-specific guidance applying nonmonetary-exchange principles to film entities (e.g., barter or exchange transactions involving film licensing rights). Every remaining paragraph in the subtopic — the overview (845-926-05-1), scope (845-926-15-1), and recognition (845-926-25-1) guidance — was superseded by ASU 2014-09, the revenue recognition standard. As a result, the subtopic contains no operative guidance; exchanges of film rights for consideration other than cash are now analyzed under ASC 606 (and related film cost guidance in ASC 926).",
  "key_points": [
    "All content of this subtopic, including 845-926-05-1, 845-926-15-1, and 845-926-25-1, was superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09.",
    "No recognition, measurement, presentation, or disclosure requirements remain in ASC 845-926.",
    "Film-related exchange or barter transactions previously addressed here are now evaluated under the revenue guidance in ASC 606, including its noncash consideration provisions.",
    "Nonmonetary transactions outside the scope of revenue guidance continue to be governed by the general principles of ASC 845-10."
