New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract] |
New Accounting Standards | Note 2. New accounting standards From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Recently adopted or anticipated impacts of significant future ASU’s are described below, as applicable. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The purpose of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, in particular, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), reference rate reform refers to a global initiative to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Once elected for a topic or an industry subtopic, the amendments in ASU 2020-04 must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that topic or industry subtopic. Woodward has assessed the accounting and financial impact of ASU 2020-04, and concluded no financial assets or liabilities, including those involved in hedging relationships, will be materially impacted as a result of the cessation of LIBOR. Accordingly, Woodward will not elect to apply the amendments in ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 amends ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adding guidance to reduce complexity in the accounting standard under the FASB’s simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 (fiscal year 2022 for Woodward). Upon adoption, the amendments in ASU 2019-12 should be applied on a prospective basis to all periods presented. Woodward elected to early adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2021, which did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (fiscal year 2021 for Woodward), including interim periods within the year of adoption. Woodward adopted ASU 2016‐13, and all applicable amendments, on October 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective adoption method. Based on the nature of the Company’s financial instruments included within the scope of this standard, the adoption did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. See details of the Company’s allowance for uncollectible amounts and change in expected credit losses for billed receivables and unbilled receivables (contract assets) at Note 3, Revenue.
