Present and Prospective Accounting [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | 2. PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Policies In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain existing exceptions related to the general approach in ASC 740 relating to franchise taxes, reducing complexity in the interim-period accounting for year-to-date loss limitations and changes in tax laws, and clarifying the accounting for transactions outside of business combinations that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective as of January 1, 2021. There was no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.
