• Updated disclosure requirements for ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements;
• New impairment testing for goodwill, long-lived, and indefinite-lived assets, plus a case study of a “qualitative” impairment analysis;
• Using the guideline transaction method to measure the fair value of a privately held debt security;
