The Private Company Council (PCC) recently met to
discuss how accounting guidance and items on the
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s technical
agenda would affect private companies. Topics
covered in the meeting included the definition of a
public business entity, private company accounting
alternative effective dates, uncertain tax positions,
financial instrument classification and the presentation
of debt issuance cost. Members of the PCC also
discussed their project on conforming the existing
definitions of a nonpublic entity to the definition issued
in December 2013.
