Key impacts
Continuing the FASB’s recent efforts to enhance expense transparency for investors – starting with ASU 2023-07 on segment reporting and following with ASU 2023-09 on income tax disclosures – the third installment in this trilogy is upon us.
Enter ASU 2024-03, focused on expense disaggregation disclosures. While it does not alter the look of the income statement (no new line items or subtotals), it requires public business entities to peel back the layers of certain expense captions in the notes. The goal? Greater clarity into how companies operate and spend – driven by natural expense categories – with the intent to promote comparability across entities.
