Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting, Policy | Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year because of the seasonal nature of our businesses, among other things. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Significant Accounting Policies The following significant accounting policy was updated or changed since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020. Receivables As described in the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" section, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC Topic 326"): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, on September 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach. Our accounting policies with respect to ASC Topic 326
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Except for the recent accounting pronouncement described below, other recent accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC Topic 326. The amendments in this ASU introduce a new approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This ASU is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses associated with most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Entities are required to apply the provisions of this ASU as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of capital reserves as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. As part of our adoption efforts, we performed various data-gathering activities, developed a credit losses model, performed data analyses and made accounting policy election determinations. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Not Yet Adopted None.
