A white paper prepared by RSM on the AICPA’s working draft of its PE/VC guide provides summaries of key provisions affecting middle-market entities. The guide itself (almost 650 pages) spells out best practices for the accounting and valuation of fund investments in portfolio companies with a focus on fair value for financial reporting purposes. The working draft was issued in May 2018, and the comment period closed in August. A final version is expected in spring 2019.
