ASU 2017-02 — Not-for-Profit Entities—Consolidation (Subtopic 958-810): Clarifying When a Not-for-Profit Entity That Is a General Partner or a Limited Partner Should Consolidate a For-Profit Limited Partnership or Similar Entity

The FASB is issuing this Accounting Standards Update to amend the consolidation guidance in Subtopic 958-810, Not-for-Profit Entities—Consolidation, to clarify when a not-for-profit entity (NFP) that is a general partner or a limited partner should consolidate a for-profit limited partnership or similar legal entity once the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, become effective. The amendments in this Update maintain how NFP general partners currently apply the consolidation guidance in Subtopic 810-20 by including that guidance within Subtopic 958-810. The amendments also add to Subtopic 958-810 the general guidance in Subtopic 810-10 on when NFP limited partners should consolidate a limited partnership.

This Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2016-280—Not-for-Profit Entities—Consolidation (Subtopic 958-810)—Clarifying When a Not-for-Profit Entity That Is a General Partner Should Consolidate a For-Profit Limited Partnership or Similar Entity, which has been deleted.
