New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] |
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance intended to provide relief to companies impacted by reference rate reform. The amended guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We adopted the guidance for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 on a prospective basis. The guidance did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures at transition, but we will continue to evaluate its impact on contracts and hedging relationships entered into or modified on or before December 31, 2022. Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued final rules regarding presentation of financial information for guarantor subsidiaries. The final rules reduce the number of periods for which guarantor financial information is required and allow presentation of summarized financial information in lieu of separate financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods ending after January 4, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating whether we will adopt these provisions early. We expect the guidance will reduce our disclosures related to guarantor financial information. Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes, including enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. These provisions should be applied retrospectively, prospectively, or on a modified retrospective basis depending on the area affected by the amended guidance. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures and whether we will adopt these provisions early. Cloud Computing Arrangements In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance addressing a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that is considered a service contract. The new guidance specifies that an entity would apply the capitalization criteria for implementation costs related to internal-use software to determine which implementation costs related to a CCA that is a service contract should be capitalized and which should be expensed. The amendments also require that capitalized implementation costs be classified in the same balance sheet line item as prepayments related to the CCA and, generally, amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the CCA. Amortization of capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same income statement line item as CCA service fees, and cash flows for capitalized implementation costs should be presented consistently with those related to the CCA service. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Prospective adoption for eligible costs incurred on or after the date of adoption or retrospective adoption is permitted. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis, and the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. Disclosures for Defined Benefit Plans In August 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance that makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted, using a retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating whether we will adopt these provisions early, but we do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our disclosures. Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance that replaces the incurred loss model for the measurement of financial assets with the current expected credit losses (CECL) model. Under the CECL model, entities are required to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, which may result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The changes are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and amendments should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2020, and the amended guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures at the transition date.
