Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Accounting Principles and Practices | Accounting Principles and Practices New Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, requiring new segment disclosures under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including disclosure of significant segment expense categories and amounts that are regularly reported to the CODM and included in the segment’s profit or loss. Additionally, all disclosure requirements under ASC 280, including new requirements under this new guidance, will be required on an interim basis. The new guidance is effective for Aon for the year ended December 31, 2024 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. An entity will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance under ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires additional income tax disclosures on an annual basis, including disaggregation of information presented within the reconciliation of the expected tax to the reported tax by specific categories, with certain reconciling items 5% or greater broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction. The new guidance also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, broken out by federal, state/local, and foreign, including disclosure of individual jurisdictions when greater than 5% of total net income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for Aon for the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the period of adoption and transition approach, as well as the impact the disclosures will have on the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Securities and Exchange Commission Final Rules The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures. The final rules will require the Company to provide certain climate-related information in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis regarding material climate-related risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, information regarding oversight and management of climate-related risks, information on climate-related targets or goals, and disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. Additionally, within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company will be required to disclose the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The final rules are effective for Aon for the year-ended December 31, 2025, with the exception of GHG emissions disclosures which are effective for Aon for the year-ended December 31, 2026. After the adoption of the final rules, the final rules became subject to several legal challenges, and on April 4, 2024 the SEC voluntarily stayed the final rules pending judicial review. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on our disclosures and will monitor the judicial process for impacts on the disclosure requirements.
