Senior Accountant Interview Question:

Tell us is push down accounting accepted under generally accepted accounting standards?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Yes, in some cases. For example: The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (the “FFIEC”) approved a reporting requirement, effective October 1, 1989, to use push down accounting in certain acquisitions of national banks, state member banks and insured state nonmember banks. This reporting requirement is an addition to the Glossary to the Instructions to the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (“Call Report”).
