- 420-10Overall420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations
ASC 420-10 governs when and how an entity recognizes and measures liabilities for costs of exit or disposal activities (restructurings), including one-time involuntary employee termination benefits, costs to terminate non-lease contracts, and other associated costs such as facility closures and employee relocation. The core rule is that a liability is recognized only when it is incurred — i.e., when a present obligation exists — and measured initially at fair value; a mere commitment to an exit or disposal plan is not the requisite past event (420-10-25-1 through 25-2, 420-10-30-1). Ongoing termination-benefit arrangements, pension/OPEB special termination benefits, deferred compensation, stock compensation, and asset retirement obligations are excluded and handled under other Topics (420-10-15-5 through 15-6).
