Does ASC 810 apply to the Vie model?

Determining whether the VIE model applies to an entity that meets the definition of a business can be one of the more challenging aspects of ASC 810. The VIE model provides the following scope exception (the “business scope exception”) for reporting entities having a variable interest (s) in a business entity.

Is ASC 810-10-15-17(D) intended to provide a scope exception to all businesses?

When deliberating FIN 46R, the Board considered, but ultimately opposed, providing a scope exception for all businesses, believing that such a distinction was contrary to the principle underlying the VIE model. Therefore, ASC 810-10-15-17 (d) is not intended to provide a scope exception to all businesses.
