PALM BEACH COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSION, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, AND 2021
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd.)
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update supersede much of the existing authoritative guidance for leases and will require lessees to recognize rightof-use assets and liabilities for most leases with terms longer than twelve months. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Commission has evaluated the impact of this standard on its financial statements and will implement for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2022.
Recently Adopted Accounting Policies
As of October 1, 2020, the Commission adopted the provisions of FASB ASU 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled. The Commission has evaluated the impact of the standard and determined that it did not result in significant changes to its method of revenue recognition.
As of October 1, 2020, the Commission adopted amendments to provisions of FASB ASU 2016-18 –Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The implementation of ASU 2016-18 affects the presentation in the statement of cash flows to provide information that reconciles cash and restricted cash to amounts reported in the statement of financial position.
