Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

4. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-06 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848.” The amendments in this update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. ASU No. 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The FASB included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on the expectations of when the LIBOR would cease being published intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024 and can be adopted as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
