New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NOTE 9 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, modifying ASU 2014-09. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. There were no material impacts to the Fund’s financial statements upon adoption. New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”), which amends ASC 230 to provide guidance on the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management has evaluated the implications of these changes on the financial statements and adopted with no material impact.
