Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] |
New Accounting Guidance | New Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard revising lease accounting, which requires the Company to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. The accounting standard became effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020. Refer to Note 5 - “Leases” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. During fiscal year 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities by simplifying the application of hedge accounting and improving the related disclosures in its financial statements. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2020. The guidance was applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective or prospective transition method, depending on the area covered by this accounting standard. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. During fiscal year 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company does not expect this new standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference U.S. dollar LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this update are elective and were effective for the Company immediately upon issuance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the transition from U.S. dollar LIBOR to alternative reference rates but does not expect this new standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently issued accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable or did not have, or is not expected to have, a material impact to the Company.
