Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adoption of New Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on their balance sheet for all leases with terms beyond twelve months. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures that provide more transparency and information to financial statement users about lease portfolios. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of this ASU using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets for operating leases of approximately $2.65 billion and operating lease liabilities of approximately $2.70 billion. The consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while comparative periods presented have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous standard. We elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the standard. In accordance with the package of practical expedients, we did not reassess initial direct costs, lease classification, or whether our contracts contain or are leases. We also made an accounting policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with an original lease term of twelve months or less, unless the leases include options to renew or purchase the underlying asset that are reasonably certain to be exercised. See note 10 for additional disclosures required by this ASU. In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU requiring the premium on callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amortization period for callable debt securities purchased at a discount is not impacted by the update. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019. This standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to enhance recognition of the economic results of hedging activities in the financial statements. In addition, this update makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and increase transparency regarding the scope and results of hedging activities. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019. This standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows but did require additional disclosures. See note 15 for required disclosures pertaining to this ASU. For accounting standards adopted in the period ended March 31, 2018, refer to note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Other accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The update removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under this ASU, a goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020, but early adoption is permitted. We continue to evaluate this update to determine the full impact of its adoption but do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Other accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective until after March 31, 2019, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
