Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Schedule of Impact as a Result of Adopting ASU 2017-07

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides new guidance on the accounting for credit losses for instruments that are within its scope. This new guidance is commonly referred to as the CECL model. For loans and debt securities accounted for at amortized cost, certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, net investments in leases, and trade receivables, the ASU requires an entity to recognize its estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the financial instrument or exposure by incorporating forward-looking information, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts, in the entity's assessment of the collectability of financial assets. Lifetime expected credit losses on purchased financial assets with credit deterioration will be recognized as an allowance with an offset to the cost basis of the asset. For available for sale debt securities, the new standard will require recognition of expected credit losses by recognizing an allowance for credit losses when the fair value of the security is below amortized cost and the recognition of this allowance is limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and fair value. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020, and recorded an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $199 million, primarily due to an increase in the allowance for consumer loans, offset by a $52 million deferred tax asset, and a $147 million cumulative-effect adjustment reduction to retained earnings.

Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements to improve their effectiveness. The guidance permits entities to consider materiality when evaluating fair value measurement disclosures and, among other modifications, requires certain new disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020. The guidance only affects disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and will not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
