In late September, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published Accounting Standards Update (ASU 2020-07), Presentation and Disclosures by Not-for-Profit Entities for Contributed Nonfinancial Assets.

Effective Date
The changes highlighted are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021, and for all interim periods within annual periods beginning after June 15, 2022. Early adoption of the changes is permitted.
