Introduction
Effective July 1, 2009, changes to the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (FASB Codification), are communicated through an Accounting Standards Update (Update). Updates are published for all authoritative U.S. GAAP promulgated by the FASB, regardless of the form in which such guidance may have been issued prior to release of the FASB Codification (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Abstracts, FASB Staff Positions, etc.) Updates are also issued for amendments to the SEC content in the FASB Codification as well as for editorial changes

Introduction
An Update is a transient document that summarizes the key provisions of the project
that led to the Update, details the specific amendments to the FASB
Codification, andexplains the basis for the Board's decisions
Although ASUs will update the FASB Codification, the FASB does not consider Updates as authoritative in their own right

A: ASU 2011-01/2
Update No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about
Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDR) in Update No. 2010-20.
Update No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring
Is a Troubled Debt.
1111
11
A: ASU 2011-01/2
In evaluating whether restructuring constitutes a Troubled Debt Restructurings, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: The restructuring constitutes a concession. The debtor is experiencing financial
difficulties.
This update provides additional guidance
1212
12
A: ASU 2011-01/2
IFRS does not have guidance on troubled debt restructurings.
IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, requires the disclosure of the carrying amount of renegotiated debt, which is defined as debt whose terms were renegotiated that otherwise would be past due or impaired without that renegotiation.
1313
13
B: ASU 2011-03
ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase
Agreements
When transferor is deemed to have maintained effective control over the financial assets transferred it must account for the transaction as a secured borrowing
1414
14
B: ASU 2011-03
The amendments remove the following from the assessment of effective control: The criterion requiring the transferor to have
the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed upon terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and
The collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion
1515
15
B: ASU 2011-03
The IASB’s derecognition guidance is provided under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
The consideration of a transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets transferred on substantially agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, is not required under IFRS.
The amendments in this Update improve convergence by eliminating from U.S. GAAP the need to consider this criterion.

Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income
Update No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for
Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Update No. 2011-05

17
C: ASU 2011-05/12
Entities have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.
The previously allowed option of showing the components of OCI in the statement of changes in equity is no longer allowed.
These amendments do not change the items that must be reported in OCI or when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income
To be applied retrospectively
1818
18
C: ASU 2011-05/12
IFRS currently permits components of other comprehensive income to be presented either in a single statement or in two consecutive statements. Therefore, the amendments will result in more converged guidance on how comprehensive income is presented under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
Minor other differences in reporting comprehensive income between U.S. GAAP and IFRS will remain
1919

D: ASU 2011-07
Update No. 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service
Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)
Increase transparency about a health care entity's net patient service revenue and the related allowance for doubtful accounts.
2020
20
D: ASU 2011-07
Certain health care entities will need to change the presentation of their statement of operations by reclassifying the provision for bad debts associated with patient service revenue from an operating expense to a deduction from revenue.
Additionally, these entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about their policies for recognizing revenues and assessing bad debts.
This change in presentation will result in the presentation of net patient service revenue which is closer to the amount that the health care entity expects to collect. The new disclosures will assist users in better understanding how health care entities recognize patient service revenue and assess bad debts
2121
21
D: ASU 2011-07
The amendments relating to the presentation of revenue should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The disclosure amendments should be provided for the period of adoption and subsequent reporting periods.
IFRS does not currently require similar presentation or disclosures as set forth in the amendments in this Update.

E: ASU 2011-08
Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment
Reducing the cost and complexity of performing the required annual tests for impairment of goodwill. ASC 350 requires that all companies which have
goodwill on their books test it for impairment annually This test is a two-step process. The first step is to
determine the fair value of the reporting unit, which can be both cumbersome and expensive
2323
23
E: ASU 2011-08
An entity now has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is" more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is NOT more likely than not, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required.
In making this qualitative assessment, an entity shall assess relevant events and circumstances. Examples of such events and circumstances include the following: Macroeconomic conditions
such as a deterioration in general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, or other developments in equity and credit markets
2424
24
E: ASU 2011-08
Industry and market considerations such as a deterioration in the environment in which an entity
operates, an increased competitive environment, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (consider in both absolute terms and relative to peers), a change in the market for an entity's products or services, or a regulatory or political development
Cost factors such as increases in raw materials, labor or other costs that
have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows Overall financial performance
such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods
2525
25
E: ASU 2011-08
Other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy, or
customers; contemplation of bankruptcy; or litigation Events affecting a reporting unit
such as a change in the composition or carrying amount of its net assets; a "more likely than not" expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; or recognition of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit
If applicable, a sustained decrease in share price (consider in both absolute terms and relative to peers).
2626
26
E: ASU 2011-08
If a company determines that facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value may be less than the carrying value, then the full two-step impairment test is required.
In making the qualitative assessment, management should consider the extent to which each of the adverse events or circumstances identified could affect the comparison of the reporting unit's fair value with its carrying value.
More weight should be placed on those events which are more likely to affect either fair value or carrying value than those that would not affect these values. An entity should also consider positive or mitigating circumstances that might limit the potential impairment.
2727
27
E: ASU 2011-08
International Accounting Standard 36, Impairment of Assets, requires an entity to test goodwill for impairment using a single-step quantitative test performed at the level of a cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.
The test must be performed at least annually and between annual tests whenever there is an indication of impairment. IAS 36 requires an entity to compare the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit with its recoverable amount.

F: ASU 2011-09
Update No. 2011-09, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multi-Employer Plans (Subtopic 715-80): Disclosures about an Employer's Participation in a
Multiemployer Plan
Disclosures to increase awareness of the commitments and risks involved with participating in multiemployer pension plans
Applies to nongovernmental entities that participate in multiemployer plans
2929
29
F: ASU 2011-09
Requirement of additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including:The significant multiemployer plans in which
an employer participates, The level of an employer's participation in the
significant multiemployer plans,The financial health of the significant
multiemployer plans,The nature of the employer commitments to
the plan
3030
30
F: ASU 2011-09
For plans for which users are unable to obtain additional publicly available information outside the employer's financial statements, the employer is required to make additional disclosures, including the following: A description of the nature of the plan benefits A qualitative description of the extent to which the employer
could be responsible for the obligations of the plan, including benefits earned by employees during employment with another employer
Other quantitative information, to the extent available, as of the most recent date available, to help users understand the financial information about the plan, such as total plan assets, actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits, and total contributions received by the plan.
