Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]  
Recently Issued Accounting Standards RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adoption of new accounting standards

In August 2023, the FASB issued 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This update removes diversity in practice and requires certain joint ventures, upon formation, to apply a new basis of accounting consistent with ASC 805 Business Combinations in the joint venturer’s separate financial statements. This does not affect the Company's existing accounting policies or financial statements. This may affect the Company indirectly going forward via the impact on balance sheet values in the separate books of any newly formed equity method investees.

Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
Under the new ASU, entities are required to consider the factors in ASC 805 in determining the accounting acquirer when the acquisition of a VIE that is a business is primarily effected by the exchange of equity interests.

Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration
Payable to a Customer

On May 15, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, which clarifies the guidance in both ASC 606 and ASC 718 on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance, primarily by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer.

ASU 2025-06 - Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software
In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Development Costs, to modernize the internal-use software guidance to better reflect current, non-linear software development practices. The ASU removes references to “development stages” and clarifies that capitalization of software costs begins once management authorizes and commits to funding a software project and it is probable the project will be completed and used as intended. The ASU also introduces new guidance for evaluating the “probable-to-complete” threshold, requiring entities to consider whether there is significant development uncertainty.

The guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective or modified retrospective basis, beginning January 1, 2027 for the interim and annual periods. Early adoption is permitted.
