In addition to the new Reports Center, the company has released updates within the amortization schedule export that provide more detailed data sets for users, create consistency between standard guidelines, and enable users to reconcile accounts in less time.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board in its Feb. 1 meeting voted to advance its first standard on cryptocurrencies and digital assets. The exposure draft is set to be released in late March and stakeholders will have 75 days to comment (see previous story). The board voted to exclude creators and issuers of crypto tokens from the scope, as well as "wrapped" tokens. Staff clarified, though, that cryptocurrency miners would not count as creators or issuers and so would be in the scope of the proposed standard.
