RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for services provided. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which provides amendments that defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The amendments in this update are effective either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company currently anticipates that it will adopt ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment upon adoption. Additionally, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is expected to affect the timing of revenue recognition and the presentation of reimbursable expenses billed to clients in our condensed and consolidated statements of operations. We cannot currently estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, as we have not completed our evaluation of the pronouncement. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 enhances the reporting model for financial instruments by addressing certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Key provisions require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In addition, the exit price notion must be used when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Upon initial evaluation, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will not have a material impact on the Company. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 increases the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments will retain lease classifications, distinguishing finance leases from operating leases, using criteria that is substantially similar for distinguishing capital leases from operating leases in previous guidance. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon initial evaluation, the Company has determined it will record right-to-use assets and liabilities measured at the present value of reasonably certain lease payments on our consolidated statements of financial condition. We do not anticipate any material changes to our condensed and consolidated statements of operations. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows—Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides more standardized guidance to improve consistency surrounding the classification of certain cash payments and receipts between the operating, investing, and financing sections of the statement of cash flows. These transactions include the settlement of certain debt instruments, distributions received from equity-method investees and other transactions. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Upon initial evaluation, the primary impact is selecting one of two acceptable accounting treatments for distributions received from equity method investments. The Company currently follows the nature of distribution approach, therefore, we do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on our condensed and consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes—Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 provides clearer guidance related to current and deferred income taxes driven by intra-entity asset transfers. Specifically, this ASU states that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when they occur whereas in the past, certain entities did not recognize these impacts until the asset was sold to a third party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Upon initial evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-16 to have a material impact on our condensed and consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows—Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that entities include a reconciliation of changes in restricted cash in their cash flow statement. This will standardize the diversity in practice where some entities included such balances in their statement, while others omitted them. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Due to this new guidance, the Company will be required to include a reconciliation of changes in restricted cash in our condensed and consolidated statements of cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides greater clarity on issues regarding accounting for changes in terms or conditions of share-based payment awards. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Upon initial evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our condensed and consolidated financial statements.
