A list of top 2022-2023 ASUs for financial institutions

FASB standards are continually evolving. This quick-reference guide lists accounting updates for 2023 and beyond.

The start of a new year is a great time to review relevant Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) that might affect financial reporting. While major updates – such as the transition to the current expected credit loss (CECL) model – are well known, others might receive less attention but are still relevant.

Crowe specialists continue to track all developments from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), including ASUs for both public business entities (PBEs) and nonpublic business entities (non-PBEs). This quick-reference guide compiles the updates most relevant to financial institutions.

Accounting professionals and audit committee members can review the guide to understand what’s coming in 2023 – or to conduct a final review of 2022. Many of the standards permit early adoption.
