New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements | 14. In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance clarifying the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The scope of the balance sheet offsetting disclosures, contained in the new guidance, is limited to recognized derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending transactions. The balance sheet offsetting disclosures require the presentation of gross and net information about transactions that are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to master netting arrangements, regardless of whether the transactions are actually offset in the statement of position. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2013. We have complied with the requirements of this FASB accounting standard in 2013. In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance for reporting of amounts reclassified out of the various components of accumulated other comprehensive income. The revised standard requires, among other things, that an entity present, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We have complied with the requirements of this FASB accounting standard in 2013. In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance to address the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. Under the new guidance, an entity would measure its obligation from a joint and several liability arrangement as the sum of the amount the entity agreed with its co-obligors that it will pay, and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early application is permitted, and we do not expect the guidance to impact us. In March 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance related to foreign currency matters. The updated guidance attempts to resolve the diversity in practice about the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amended guidance attempts to resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The guidance is effective for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2013, and we do expect the guidance to impact us. In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless certain exceptions are met. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. We are still assessing the applicability of this guidance in future periods.
