ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
 
This standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment.  ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation.  A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020.  The new standard will be applied prospectively when performing our annual impairment test of goodwill, or in an interim period if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that may indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount.  We anticipate that the prospective adoption of the standard will not materially impact the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
 
This standard creates a single model to measure impairment on financial assets, which includes trade accounts receivable. An estimate of expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception, based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the manner in which we estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable, or on our consolidated financial statements
