  • Description: The types of repurchase transactions that figured in the 2011 sinking of MF Global, the giant derivatives broker and investment bank, are to be the relatively narrow focus of accounting rule improvements planned by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). FASB tentatively decided October 2 that it seeks to improve consistency in front-of-the-books treatment of the "repurchase-to-maturity" transactions at issue, it intends to spell out how those deals would be reported on the balance sheet as secured borrowings. In addition, FASB plans to beef up footnote disclosures for a wider scope of types of financial asset transfers that are accounted for as sales.
