Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted on January 1, 2021 and Effective after 2021

Adopted on January 1, 2021

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also clarify and amend existing guidance to improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our business.

Effective after 2021

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, and to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and if elected, will be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
