The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) and FASB are responsible for the ongoing development and maintenance of the U.S. GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy. As a part of the ongoing development and maintenance of the taxonomy, ASUs are reviewed to determine if updates to the taxonomy are needed to meet new or modified financial reporting requirements. The release notes describe taxonomy improvements that are pending approval as part of the annual update process and that will be required for the ASU on measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.
