Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the nine months ended October 31, 2021, that are applicable to the Company. Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU No. 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. Autodesk will apply the expedients in ASU No. 2020-04 through December 31, 2022. Autodesk does not believe ASU No. 2020-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU No. 2021-08”), which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). ASU No. 2021-08 allows an acquirer to assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for acquired revenue contracts. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in accordance with Topic 805. The amendments are effective for Autodesk's fiscal year beginning February 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. Autodesk is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2021-08 will have on its consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations.
