Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual periods. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.), but in the opinion of management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts become determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January of 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform – Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance, ASU 2020-04,“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” issued in March of 2020. In December of 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06,“Reference Rate Reform – Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” which extends the sunset date to December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other rates that are expected to be discontinued, subject to meeting certain criteria. These ASUs were effective upon issuance, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2024. The Company adopted these ASUs in the second quarter of 2023 and the adoption of these ASUs did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has identified LIBOR transition primarily effecting its insurance portfolio exposures that reference or are indexed to LIBOR, interest rate swaps referencing LIBOR, investments indexed to an interbank offered rate, including LIBOR, and MBIA Corp.’s surplus notes. The Company will be applying the accounting relief as relevant contract modifications are made through December 31, 2024. Contract modifications are expected to only include those that address a LIBOR transition. The Company has not adopted any other new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
