Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AstroNova, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Updated and Simplification Initiative" ("ASU 2023-06"), which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2023-06 was issued in response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the "SEC") August 2018 final rule that updated and simplified disclosure requirements and is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. We are currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-06 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first nine months of the current year, have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
