Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard requires entities to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the previous “incurred loss” model, which generally results in earlier recognition of credit losses.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted this standard through the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result of the adoption, the Company has established revised processes and controls to estimate expected losses for trade and other receivables in accordance with the new standard. The Company’s process for estimating losses for trade and other receivables includes an evaluation of both historical collection experience and expectations for current credit risks based on several customer and environmental factors.

The adoption of the standard resulted in a transition adjustment to 2020 beginning of the year retained earnings of $2.2 million (gross of the deferred tax impact of $0.6 million). The transition adjustment relates to incremental trade and notes receivable allowances due to the earlier recognition of expected losses under the new standard of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
