Accounting Standards Adopted

 

Income Taxes

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2019-12 on Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The board decided to remove the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or gain from other items (for example discontinued operations or other comprehensive income). There are also provisions related to state taxes and calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted ASU 2019-12 in the quarter ended August 31, 2021 with no material impact.

 

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) that requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Due to a subsequent ASU in November 2019, the accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 on a modified retrospective basis, and early adoption in fiscal 2021 is permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact of this accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.
