Why this is mistaken
Publication does not make an amendment effective for every entity and period. Build a standards clock with the reporting date, entity type, required effective date, early-adoption decision, transition method, and any elections. Then distinguish current requirements from pending guidance. The corrected memo cites the paragraph applied to the current period and describes a future amendment separately instead of blending both rule sets.
Where to watch
When this mistake may appear
