Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] |
New Accounting Standards to be Adopted | NOTE L – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" No. 2020-04), Reference Rate Reform (“Topic 848”). Certain amendments were provided for in ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Scope, which was issued in January 2021. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance to ease the financial reporting burden associated with the expected market transition from the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") to alternative reference rates. This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing which of its various contracts will require an update for a new reference rate and will determine the timing for implementation of this guidance after completing that analysis.
