New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting |
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting | 2.New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The new accounting guidance establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company continues to evaluate the impact and method of the adoption of the new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance to the consolidation standard which updates the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendment modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, among other provisions. This amended guidance will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption that the amended guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The guidance requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, as the application of this guidance affects classification only. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which provides the use of a practical expedient that permits the entity to measure defined benefit plans assets and obligations using the month-end date that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end date and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. Should the Company elect to adopt this guidance, it does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016. In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which simplifies the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in connection with business combinations. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement-period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined, and therefore eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for the adjustment in prior periods presented. This guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and was to be applied prospectively to measurement-period adjustments that occur after the effective date. Early adoption was permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company adopted new accounting guidance which raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in the balance sheet. The Company has elected early adoption of this standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. This resulted in a reclassification of the Company’s net current deferred tax asset and net current deferred tax liability to the net non-current deferred tax asset and to its net non-current deferred tax liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of income or comprehensive income. In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which changes accounting for leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases, including those classified as operating leases under previous accounting guidance, on the balance sheet. It also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach, and provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payments. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the statement of operations when the awards vest or are settled. It will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. This guidance will be effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
