Key impacts
Subtopic 852-10 provides specific accounting and financial statement presentation requirements for entities in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. These requirements bring their own challenges, and, in some cases, it may be difficult to understand how the guidance intersects with the broad US GAAP requirements that continue to apply to entities in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
This handbook addresses some of the key accounting and presentation issues facing companies moving through the various stages of Chapter 11 bankruptcy: as they approach a bankruptcy filing, once they are in bankruptcy, and as they emerge from bankruptcy.
