财务会计准则委员会(FASB)已经提出 ASU 2024 - 01 to enhance clarity around the scope 应用程序 of profits interest and similar awards. 这一更新的详细内容见 ASC 718, Compensation-Stock补偿, includes illustrative guidance to assist reporting entities in accounting for profits interest awards as compensation for services provided by employees or nonemployees.
利润利息，定义为 国税局收入程序93-27是指不包括资本权益的合伙利益. This type of interest grants rights solely to the future profits and/or equity appreciation of the entity, 与属于流动净资产的资本权益相反. The unique characteristics and terms associated with profits interests often lead to varied accounting practices under ASC 718 or other standards like ASC 710, 反映了他们治疗的复杂性.
ASU提供了一个说明性示例，概述了四种场景, demonstrating the 应用程序 of scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 for a profits interest or similar award with specific features.
该表显示了说明性示例中的事实模式(从案例A到D). It summarizes the conclusions regarding the 应用程序 of the scoping guidance outlined in paragraphs 718-10-15-3 for each case. 请注意, the term “Units” in the table specifically refers to the Class B Units as detailed in Example 10 of the ASU.
上图是下表的可视化表示.
| 说明性的例子 | 结论-在718范围内? | 结论依据 |
| 情况下 | 是的 | 情况A和情况B中的单位被归类为基于股票的支付奖励. They qualify as they permit grantees to partake in the residual interests of the entity. 此资格在授予或退出事件期间立即发生, 符合第718-10-15-3(a)段概述的标准. |
| 案例B | 是的 | |
| 案例C | 是的 | 案例C中指定的单位不是该实体的权益工具, 因此，它们不符合第718-10-15-3(a)段概述的标准。. 然而, they do fulfill the condition specified in paragraph 718-10-15-3(b)(1) as the cash proceeds upon an exit event are determined based on the share price of the entity. |

The ASU provides additional illustrative guidance to aid in determining whether profits interest and similar awards fall under the scope of ASC 718. This enhancement should streamline the initial assessment of such awards under the ASU. 然而, entities must note that merely establishing that an award falls under ASC 718 does not automatically categorize it as equity-classified. Entities must still evaluate the specific classification guidance within ASC 718-10-25-6 through 25-19A to determine if an award should be treated as equity or as a liability.
The amendment to paragraph 718-10-15-3 in the ASU aims to refine the clarity and applicability of the existing guidelines. Despite this modification, the fundamental intent and 应用程序 of the guidance remain unchanged. This emphasizes the importance of a meticulous assessment process when classifying any financial awards or interests.

| 生效日期 | 自12月15日以后开始的财政年度, 2024, 包括这些财政年度内的过渡时期. | 自12月15日以后开始的财政年度, 2025, 包括这些财政年度内的过渡期间. |
