Restricted Cash: SSAP No. 69 and ASU 2016-18
Your upcoming 2019 statutory annual statement and future filings involving the Cash Flow statement will require the incorporation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents to be included in the same cash flow statement line as cash and cash equivalents. SAPWG noted the disclosure requirements provided in SSAP No. 1- Accounting Policies, Risk & Uncertainties and Other Disclosures should provide ample detail about restricted assets and the handling within the statutory annual statement.
Effective date:
- ASU 2016-18 is effective for year-end 2019, with early adoption permitted
We expect this to have a more profound impact on GAAP than statutory filers. For more details, see our SSAP Chat article and video here.
