Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on credit impairment for short-term receivables which, as amended, introduces the recognition of management's current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, using the optional transition method of recognizing any cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative impact of the adoption of the new standard was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
