Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
New Accounting Standards | Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021 Effective January 1, 2021, PPG adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, "Income Taxes" and to clarify certain aspects of the current accounting guidance. Adoption of this standard did not materially impact PPG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Years In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing certain accounting separation models as well as the accounting for debt instruments with embedded conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivative instruments. The ASU also updates and improves the consistency of earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. PPG is currently assessing the potential impacts this ASU may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform." This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this ASU are effective through December 31, 2022. PPG is currently assessing the potential impacts this ASU may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
