Accounting Standards [Abstract] |
Accounting Standards | Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend the consolidation guidance issued in February 2015 to require that a decision maker consider, in the determination of the primary beneficiary, its indirect interest in a VIE held by a related party that is under common control on a proportionate basis only. The change was effective for the financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership was required to apply the standard retrospectively to January 1, 2016, the date on which the Partnership adopted the consolidation guidance issued in February 2015. The Partnership adopted this accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for employee share-based payments. This update requires the recognition of income tax effects of awards through the income statement when awards vest or are settled. It also increases the amount an employer can withhold for tax purposes without triggering liability accounting. Lastly, it allows employers to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The changes were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under the new guidance, the Partnership will continue estimating forfeiture rates to calculate compensation cost. The Partnership adopted this accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Not Yet Adopted In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to provide guidance about when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and balance sheet classification of the modified award is the same as the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. This update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update addressing the derecognition of nonfinancial assets. The guidance defines in-substance nonfinancial assets, and states that the derecognition of business activities should be evaluated under the consolidation guidance, with limited exceptions related to conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights or contracts with customers. The standard eliminates the previous exclusion for businesses that are in-substance real estate, and eliminates some differences based on whether a transferred set is that of assets or a business and whether the transfer is to a joint venture. The standard must be implemented in conjunction with the implementation date of the revenue recognition accounting standard update, which the Partnership will implement January 1, 2018. The Partnership plans to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method and is in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements together with its evaluation of the new revenue recognition standard, as described further below. In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the recognition of an impairment charge is calculated based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, and is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard is intended to narrow the definition of a business by specifying the minimum inputs and processes and by narrowing the definition of outputs. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance will be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. The Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of the accounting standard update on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required. The application of this accounting standard update will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the classification of certain cash flows. The accounting standard update provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and distributions received from equity method investees. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership does not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses are based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership does not expect application of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring lessees to record virtually all leases on their balance sheets. The accounting standard update also requires expanded disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessors, this amended guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The change will be effective on a modified retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Partnership’s financial statements and disclosures, internal controls, and accounting policies. This evaluation process includes reviewing all forms of leases, performing a completeness assessment over the lease population and analyzing the practical expedients in order to determine the best path to implementation. The Partnership does not plan to early adopt the standard. The Partnership believes the impact will be material on the consolidated financial statements as all operating leases will generate a right of use asset and lease obligation. In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring unconsolidated equity investments, not accounted for under the equity method, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The update also requires the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and the separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form on the balance sheet and accompanying notes. The update eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. Lastly, the accounting standard update requires separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when electing to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The changes are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for guidance regarding presentation of the liability’s credit risk. The application of this accounting standard update will not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 which created Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The guidance in the ASC 606 states that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Recognition of the revenue will involve a multiple step approach including identifying the contract, identifying the separate performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the price to the performance obligations and recognizing the revenue as the obligations are satisfied. Additional disclosures will be required to provide adequate information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of reported revenues and revenues expected to be recognized. The change will be effective on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted no earlier than January 1, 2017. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of the revenue recognition standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, internal controls and accounting policies. This evaluation process includes a phased approach, the first phase of which includes reviewing a sample of contracts and transaction types across segments. This phase is substantially complete; however, the Partnership continues to evaluate our accounting for certain items such as principal versus agent treatment in relation to commodity sales. Based on the results of the first phase assessment to date, the Partnership has reached tentative conclusions for most contract types and does not believe revenue recognition patterns for fee-based or percent-of-proceeds contracts will change materially. The Partnership does expect certain amounts to be grossed up in revenue as a result of implementation, specifically related to third-party reimbursements from customers and commodities received as consideration in service agreements. In the second quarter of 2017, the Partnership reached a tentative conclusion on the valuation of noncash consideration received in the form of a commodity product. The Partnership has started the second phase of implementation, which includes the calculation of the impact of the new standard on results and the development of new policies and procedures related to the application upon adoption. The Partnership will provide updates as qualitative and quantitative conclusions are reached throughout 2017. The Partnership will adopt the revenue recognition standard during the first quarter of 2018. The Partnership plans to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method which will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. By selecting this adoption method, the Partnership will disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected by the standard in the current reporting period after adoption as compared with the guidance that was in effect before adoption.
