Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
Topic 326 applies to all entities holding financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, trade and financed receivables and other financial instruments. The guidance introduces a new credit reserving model known as Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL model requires all expected credit losses to be measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about collectability. In addition, Topic 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not will be required to sell.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Topic 326 using the modified retrospective method and the impact was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein for additional disclosures required by Topic 326.
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2020, we early adopted the provisions of this ASU using the prospective method and the impact was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU, Reference Rate Reform (“Topic 848”) to provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by this ASU during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
