Accounting guidance and regulatory items adopted in 2013
Reclassification from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued its guidance requiring new disclosures for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to net income. This new guidance requires that we present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. We adopted this new guidance effective on January 1, 2013. Upon adoption, we decided to present the required disclosures in a new footnote to our condensed consolidated financial statement. For the new disclosures refer to the Reclassifications of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income footnote, see Note 14.
Balance Sheet - Offsetting
In December 2011, the FASB issued its updated guidance on balance sheet offsetting. This new standard provides guidance to determine when offsetting in the balance sheet is appropriate. The guidance is designed to enhance disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments. The goal is to provide users of the financial statements the ability to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's statement of financial position. We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance resulted in additional disclosure included within our Financial Instruments, Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements footnote, see Note 17.
