IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
NOTE 15. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs"("ASU 2011-04). The objective of ASU 2011-04 is to provide common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the amendments do not result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement". ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
