Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 by the Company effective January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” This guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-01 by the Company effective January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” ASU 2020-10 updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements. ASU 2020-10 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-01 by the Company effective January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Not Yet Adopted | Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” ASU 2019-05 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” ASU 2019-11 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” and ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)” (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables and loans. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. These ASUs are effective January 1, 2023 for the Company as a smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models and removing certain settlement condition qualifiers for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and simplifies the related diluted net income per share calculation for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, for the Company as a smaller reporting company. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
