Significant Accounting Policies

2. Significant Accounting Policies

As of January 31, 2021, there were no changes in the nature of our significant accounting policies or the application of those policies from those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year then ended May 3, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables.  The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. As a result, we adopted the provisions of Topic 326 on May 4, 2020 and applied this guidance through the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of Topic 326 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Notes 4 and 12 of our consolidated financial statements for further details of the adoption of CECL as of May 4, 2020 and our assessments and conclusions as of January 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are required to apply this guidance in our fiscal 2022 interim and annual financial statements. Currently we do not expect this standard to affect our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

There are no other new recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
