The AICPA has issued a Technical Q&A titled “Accounting for Lease Components in Type A Life Care Contracts by Continuing Care Retirement Communities.” Issued in August, the TQA addresses common questions in the healthcare arena related to the application of lease accounting (Topic 842) for Type A Life Care Contracts.
The TQA provides CCRCs with common considerations to determine whether there is a lease and if so, what the appropriate accounting would be. This has been a hot topic for the CCRC industry, and many will be grateful to have guidelines for accounting purposes that should reduce diversity in practice.
