   ASC 310-940 is a "link" subtopic: it contains no substantive accounting guidance of its own. It simply directs readers looking for guidance on receivables of brokers and dealers in securities to other locations in the Codification — specifically, Subtopic 940-325 for receivables arising as part of a financial-restructuring transaction (310-940-05-2).

2. 325-940Financial Services—Brokers and Dealers325 Investments—Other

   This subtopic tells broker-dealers in securities how to account for equity investments or financing they provide to another entity as part of a financial-restructuring transaction, including investments made through a "bridge entity" formed to pool funds from several sources. Such investments (and related receivables and debt and equity securities) are measured initially at fair value (325-940-30-1) and subsequently at fair value (325-940-35-1). Consolidation of majority-owned investees is addressed by the broker-dealer consolidation guidance in 940-810-45-1.
