7 Identifying a lease Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 7

8 Definition of a lease For a contract to be, or contain, a lease under ASC 842 it must: Depend on the use of an identified asset, and Convey the right to control the use Right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from asset use and Right to direct the use of the asset over lease term Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 8

9 Identified asset Understanding the criteria Contract must depend on use of identified asset Asset must be explicitly or implicitly identified Physically distinct portion of a larger asset may be an identified asset Capacity portion of a larger asset is generally not an identified asset Right of substitution Would result in the asset not being deemed a specified asset Substitution would be considered substantive if: Lessor has the practical ability to substitute the asset Lessor would benefit from exercising its right of substitution Warranty or upgrade considerations Supplier s right or obligation to substitute an alternative asset due to operational failure does not mean the asset is not an identified asset Supplier s right or obligation to upgrade the asset similarly does not mean the asset is not an identified asset Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 9

10 Example: Applying the identified asset criteria under ASC 842 Company A enters into a contract with a warehouse operator to store up to 1,000 pallets of spare parts inventory at one of the operator s warehouse locations for a three-year period. The operator s warehouse has capacity to store up to 10,000 pallets of inventory. During the contract period, the warehouse operator can use the remaining space in its warehouse for other storage needs. The warehouse operator may also relocate the customer s pallets within the warehouse without incurring significant costs. Question: Does the contract contain an identified asset? Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 10

11 Example: Applying the identified asset criteria under ASC 842 (cont.) Answer: No Because Company A does not have exclusive use of a specified portion of the warehouse and the portion being used is not substantially all of the warehouse capacity, there is no identified asset. Although the contract specifies the amount of inventory to be held, the location of the inventory can change within the warehouse. If, instead: The 1,000 pallets represents substantially all of the operator s warehouse capacity, and the operator cannot relocate the inventory to a different facility or The 1,000 pallets are required to be stored in a specified portion of the warehouse The contract would contain an identified asset Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 11

12 Right to control the use Decision tree Does the customer have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use? No Customer Yes Who has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used? Supplier Neither Yes Does the customer have the right to operate the asset? No Did the customer design the asset? No Yes Contract contains a lease Contract does not contain a lease Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 12

13 Example: Applying the right to control the use criteria Customer A enters into a contract with Supplier B to purchase widgets from a Facility Supplier B only has one facility to produce the widgets and it is expected that Customer A will take substantially all of the widgets from the Facility Customer A has the right to change the quantity of the widgets on a quarterly basis over the term of the contract During the contract period, Supplier B operates and maintains the Facility and drives the production of the widgets Customer A is prohibited from hiring another operator for the Facility during the term of the contract or operating the Facility itself Question: Customer A have the right to control the use of the Facility throughout the contract period? Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 13

14 Example: Applying the right to control the use criteria (cont.) Answer: Yes In this scenario, A has the right to control the relevant how and for what purpose decisions of the Facility Customer A has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the Facility by purchasing 100% of the output Customer A has the right to direct activities related to the use of the Facility because it decides the quantity of widgets that will be produced over the period of the contract While Supplier B operates the Facility and produces the widgets, these decisions are not the relevant how and for what purpose decisions Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 14

15 Overview of the lessee accounting model Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 15

16 Lease classification Overview of the criteria Classification criteria Lease would be classified as a finance lease (lessee) or a sales-type lease (lessor) when... Lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to lessee by the end of the lease term Lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise Lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset Present value of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset Leased asset is so specialized in nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term The standard states that the bright-line thresholds that exist under ASC 840 could be a reasonable approach to evaluate whether a lease would be classified as a finance lease Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 16

17 Lessee accounting model What does the lessee model look like? Most* leases are recorded on the balance sheet using a right-of-use asset approach: Initial Measurement Subsequent Measurement Lease obligation PV of lease payments not yet paid ROU asset lease obligation + initial direct costs lease incentives + prepaid lease payments Lease obligation amortized using the effective interest method ROU asset depends upon lease classification Expense recognition pattern: Finance lease front-loaded Operating lease generally straight-line *Short-term leases: A lessee can elect, by asset class, not to record on its balance sheet a lease with a lease term of 12 months or less and which does not include a purchase option that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 17

18 Lessee accounting model Illustrative example This table highlights the differences in accounting for the lease under the finance lease and operating lease models: Finance lease Operating lease Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 18

19 Measurement components Key ingredients Lease Term Noncancelable period plus renewal options for those period(s) in which the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options Lessees would reassess lease term upon occurrence of a significant event or change in circumstances under its control Lessors would not be required to reassess lease term Fixed payments included within lease agreement In-substance fixed payments Variable payments based on an index/rate Residual value guarantees based on amount expected to be paid Purchase or termination options if lessee is reasonably certain to exercise said options Lease Payments Discount Rate Rate the lessor charges the lessee when available, which would be the rate implicit in the lease Incremental borrowing rate when the rate the lessor charges the lessee is not available Reassessment required in certain instances (change in lease term, certain modifications, change in purchase option considerations) Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 19

20 Presentation requirements Lessee model Balance Sheet Income Statement Cash Flow Statement Financing Lease ROU asset Lease liability Amortization expense Interest expense Principal (Financing) Interest (Operating) Operating Lease ROU asset Lease liability Lease expense (single line on straight-line basis) Lease payments (Operating) Lessor model Presentation consistent with current lessor model: Balance sheet presentation depends on lease classification Income statement profit or loss recognized in a manner consistent with business model Cash flow statement recognized as cash inflows from operating activities Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC.

23 Effective date and transition Effective date Public business entities effective for calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019 and interim periods therein All other entities effective for calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2020, and interim periods thereafter Early adoption will be permitted Transition Lessees and lessors are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for all existing leases Would apply the new model for the earliest year presented in the financial statements Application of approach linked to current lease classification and new lease classification An entity can use hindsight when evaluating lease term Transition relief package Lessees and lessors are not required to reassess the following upon transition: Whether any expired or existing contracts are leases or contain leases The lease classification for any expired or existing leases Initial direct costs for any existing leases Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 23

24 Other key provisions and resources But wait, there s more Separating non-lease elements Sale-leaseback Build-to-suit arrangements Subleases Related party leases Modifications Contract combinations Leveraged lease accounting Accounting for leases at a portfolio level Leases in a business combination Impairment of the ROU asset US GAAP to IFRS comparison Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC.

25 Potential operational challenges Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 25

26 Potential operational challenges Data challenges High volume of lease agreements across multiple decentralized locations, in different business and operating units Technology & IT systems There likely will be a need to store lease data and perform calculations. Consider modifying the existing system or moving to a new system. Given the long lead times of system initiatives, companies may need a bridge system Timeline to adoption It can be a challenge to anticipate the data gaps and overcome the data abstraction hurdle. A typical timeline from planning to operation is 12 to 24+ months, depending on technology selection as well as size and complexity of the lease portfolio Internal controls and business process environment Entities may face additional scrutiny from auditors and regulators regarding the design and effectiveness of associated controls under Sarbanes-Oxley arising from increased relevance of new leasing to the financial statements. There may also be a need for companies to assess operational effectiveness of internal controls surrounding capturing, calculating, and accounting for their leases.

27 Revenue Recognition Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 27

28 Scope, effective date, and transition

29 New revenue guidance Scope Applies to an entity s contracts with customers Does not apply to: Lease contracts (ASC 840) Insurance contracts (ASC 944) Certain financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations Guarantees (other than product or service warranties) Nonmonetary exchanges whose purpose is to facilitate a sale to another party Some key aspects apply to transfer (sale) of nonfinancial assets Glossary terms Contract: An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations Customer: A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 29

30 New revenue standard Effective date UPDATE: Deferral of effective date In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an ASU that defers the effective date of ASC 606 by one year Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (public) Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (nonpublic) In addition, the ASU allows entities to early adopt ASC 606 as of the original effective date (annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, FY2017) In September 2015, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued an amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 15 (IFRS 15) to defer the effective date by one year Annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 The IASB continues to allow entities to early adopt IFRS 15 Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 30

31 New revenue guidance Transition options UPDATE: Practical expedient for contract modifications (FASB & IASB) Full retrospective approach Restate prior periods in compliance with ASC 250 Optional practical expedients Modified retrospective approach Apply revenue standard either to all contracts at the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed as of effective date and record cumulative catch-up (FASB updates - ASU ) Required disclosures: Amount of each F/S line item affected in current period Explanation of significant changes cumulative catch-up January 1, 2018 Initial Application Year 2018 Current Year 2017 Prior Year Prior Year 2 New contracts New ASU Existing contracts New ASU + cumulative catch-up Legacy GAAP Legacy GAAP Completed contracts Legacy GAAP Legacy GAAP Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 31

32 The model

33 New revenue guidance The five-step model Core principle: Recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services Identify the contract with a customer Identify the performance obligations in the contract Determine the transaction price Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation (Step 1) (Step 2) (Step 3) (Step 4) (Step 5) This revenue recognition model is based on a control approach, which differs from the risks and rewards approach applied under current U.S. GAAP Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 33

34 Step 1: Identifying the contract Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 A legally enforceable contract (oral or implied) must meet all of the following requirements: The parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform A contract will not be in the scope if: The entity can identify each party s rights regarding goods or services The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred The contract is wholly unperformed and Each party can unilaterally terminate the contract without compensation The contract has commercial substance It is probable the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer Collectibility threshold Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 34

35 Step 2: Identifying performance obligations Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 A series of goods or services with the same pattern of transfer may be a single obligation The ASU defines a performance obligation as a promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct Identify all (explicit or implicit) promised goods and services in the contract FASB updates Are promised goods and services distinct from other goods and services in the contract? CAPABLE OF BEING DISTINCT Can the customer benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources? YES AND DISTINCT WITHIN CONTEXT OF THE CONTRACT Is the good or service separately identifiable from other promises in the contract? NO Account for as a performance obligation Combine two or more promised goods or services and reevaluate Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 35

36 Step 3: Determining transaction price Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Principle: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer (which excludes estimates of variable consideration that are constrained) Transaction price shall include Fixed consideration Variable consideration (estimated and potentially constrained) Noncash consideration (FASB updates ASU ) Measure at fair value at contract inception Constraint would not apply to variability due to the form of the consideration Practical expedient to present sales taxes on a net basis (scope consistent with existing GAAP) Adjustments for significant financing component Adjustments for consideration payable to customer Transaction price does NOT include Effects of customer credit risk Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 36

37 Step 4: Allocating transaction price Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Allocate transaction price on a relative stand-alone selling price basis (estimate stand-alone selling price if not observable) The expected cost-plus margin method, adjusted market assessment method, or residual method (only if price is highly variable or uncertain) are acceptable Allocate transaction price to all performance obligations (and subsequent changes based on initial allocation), unless a portion of (or changes in) the transaction price relate entirely to one or more obligations and certain criteria are met Do not reallocate for changes in stand-alone selling prices If certain criteria are met, a discount or variable consideration may be allocated to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations in a contract Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 37

38 Step 5: Recognizing revenue Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Evaluate if control of a good or service transfers over time, if not then control transfers at a point in time. An entity satisfies a performance obligation over time if: The customer receives and consumes the benefit as the entity performs (e.g., cleaning service) or Performance creates or enhances a customer controlled asset (e.g., home addition) or Performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the entity has an enforceable right to payment* for performance completed to date Measure progress toward completion using input/output methods * An entity has a right to payment only if, at all times throughout the duration of the contract, the entity is entitled to an amount that at least compensates for performance completed to date. This compensation should approximate the selling price of the goods/services (i.e., costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin) Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 38

39 Step 5: Recognizing revenue Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 1 Step 2 Step 5 For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, indicators that control transfers include, but are not limited to, the following: The entity has a present right to payment The customer has legal title The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership The entity has transferred physical possession The customer has accepted the asset Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 39

83 What is Extended Enterprise Risk Management? Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 83

84 The extended enterprise - Overview An organization does not operate in isolation because its success is dependent upon a complex network of third-party relationships. Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 84

85 The extended enterprise - Risks and opportunities Reliance on third parties can drive performance but also pose significant risks. Risks Benefits Competitive edge in the industry Access to advanced technologies and expertise Access to industry leading practices Avenue to diversify assets and risks Loss of business, deterioration of brand/reputation, and/or regulatory action due to inferior performance Increased cost due to poor oversight and control Sub-optimal financial performance due to hidden or unmanaged contract terms Extended Enterprise Risk Management (EERM) is the practice of anticipating and managing exposures associated with third parties across the organization s full range of operations as well as optimizing the value delivered by the third-party ecosystem. Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 85

86 What are the drivers and challenges? Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 86

87 Drivers Wide range of drivers shape EERM programs at organizations. Most significant of the drivers include Industry Convergence and M&A Outsourcing is expected to grow at rates of 12-26% 1 per annum as companies are entering new markets and new third-party relationships Industry and regulatory requirements - Cross industry: Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; Anti-Money Laundering; - Banking: OCC comprehensive risk management, recovery/resiliency; - Life Sciences: Sunshine Act, FDA regulations Supply chain resiliency Requiring contingency planning/crisis planning to avoid major supply chain disruptions leading to shift in market competitiveness Expected economic downturn Leading to 74% 2 of Chief Procurement Officers to reduce costs related to third party relationships and increase level of collaboration Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC.

88 Global cross-industry challenges for EERM Significant gaps in EERM program often lead to business disruptions, data breaches, and result in reputational damage and financial loses for organizations: Incidents related to third parties are more frequent which organizations are not prepared to address 87% of surveyed executives faced marketplace disruption or lost opportunity resulting from third-party incidents Impact of incidents 160 out of 170 of surveyed executives have a low to moderate level of confidence in their ability to manage third parties Program capabilities with low confidence 26.2% Reputational damage 23.0% Reporting errors 23.0% Noncompliance with regulations 20.6% Data breach 10.3% Lost business 94.3% EERM tools and technology 93.5% Monitoring mechanisms 88.6% Quality of risk management 78.9% Disciplined escalation framework Over 60% of surveyed executives find it necessary to take action to enhance their third party monitoring.

89 Evolution of EERM Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 89

90 The cause for change Traditional approach to EERM is driven by regulatory requirements and represents a reactive approach to risk management, which does not adequately address the challenges associated. Traditional Approach Challenges Emerging Approach Check the box compliance exercises leveraging point in time periodic assessments Limited visibility over their third parties and forcing to be reactive in light of disruptions/crises Outdated information leading to longer reaction time Lack of comprehensive view of risks and performance Resource burden due to in-effective prioritization Inconsistent application of practices Ongoing monitoring using risk sensing and assessment capabilities Enable timely, holistic and in-depth understanding of risk and performance exposure, guided by risk scoping and scoring Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 90

91 Pro-active dynamic ongoing monitoring Ongoing monitoring is the practice of supplementing periodic third party assessments with near real-time monitoring of changes to a third party s risk profile (i.e., inherent risk, performance, industry threat, control gaps) and altering the course of risk management to timely, effectively and efficiently mitigate threats and prevent incidents. Value proposition Effective resource allocation commensurate with the level of risk Increased transparency, faster Minimal manual intervention Risk transparency Ongoing monitoring Traditional approach Trend and anomaly detection to pre-empt incidents Time Customized monitoring rules and alerts Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 91

92 Industry Quadrant Maturity within Industries Legend High Maturity level of entity s adopted approach Low Low P&U Technology C&IP Investment Management Insurance Health Care Plans & Providers # of departments across entity adopting Extended Enterprise Risk Management approach Banking & Securities Life Sciences High Industries have wider focus over third party relationships across buyside, sell-side and infrastructure. Regulatory requirements have enforced more focus on extended enterprise risk management program development and maintenance Roles and/or responsibilities have been created for the management of EERM program Industries focus their EERM program on their supply chain. Other third party relationship management and program is not as formalized Recent public and media scrutiny of crisis events have led to reactive focus on other non-supply chain relationships such as Cyber, Contractors etc. Copyright 2016 Deloitte Development LLC.
