  1. 220-40Expense Disaggregation Disclosures220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-40 (added by ASU 2024-03) requires public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular note disclosure, each "relevant expense caption" presented on the face of the income statement in continuing operations into prescribed natural expense categories: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and DD&A of oil-and-gas/other depletion (220-40-50-6). Other GAAP-required expense, gain, and loss items must be pulled into the same table (220-40-50-21 through 50-22), expense reimbursements must be addressed (50-26 through 50-29), and any residual must be shown as "other items" with a qualitative description of its composition (50-30). Entities must also disclose total selling expenses and, annually, how they define selling expenses (50-35 through 50-36).
