NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards under GAAP

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The new guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) regularly provided to (or easily computed from information regularly provided to) the chief operating decision maker and (2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The new standard also allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are used to assess performance and allocate resources. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards under GAAP

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires significant additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be applied prospectively (with retrospective application permitted) and is effective in the 2025 annual period and in 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the related disclosures.

On March 6, 2024, the SEC issued their final rule “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The final rule includes disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management as well as the board and management’s governance of such risks. In addition, the rule includes requirements to disclose the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in the audited financial statements. On April 4, 2024, the SEC stayed its climate disclosure rule to “facilitate the orderly judicial resolution” of pending legal challenges. We are currently evaluating the impact of this rule on our disclosures.

We assessed ASUs not listed above and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
