Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle | The following table presents accounting standards not yet adopted:
Standard | Description | Required date of adoption | Effect on the financial statements and other significant matters
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) | In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC 840, Leases. This standard requires all leases to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. FASB has issued several amendments to ASU 2016-02, including ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements that introduced an additional transition method permitting an entity to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2016-02 includes optional practical expedients intended to reduce the cost and complexity to implement the new lease standard, such as an option to maintain the current lease classification for all existing lease arrangements and the option to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease. Early application is permitted. | As an emerging growth company (an “EGC”), the Company is permitted to defer adoption until the non-public company adoption date, i.e., annual periods starting after December 15, 2021. | The Company’s existing lease population is mainly comprised of operating leases for office space. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
Standard | Description | Required date of adoption | Effect on the financial statements and other significant matters
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) | In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which updates the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. There are various transition methods available upon adoption. Early adoption is permitted. | As an EGC, the Company is permitted to defer adoption until the non-public company adoption date, i.e., annual periods starting after December 15, 2022. | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes | In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. Certain amendments must be applied on a prospective basis, certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis, and certain amendments must be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. | As an EGC, the Company is permitted to defer adoption until the non-public company adoption date, i.e., annual periods starting December 15, 2021, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848) | In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate (e.g., LIBOR) reform if certain criteria are met, for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. | The ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. | The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
