ASU-2018-15 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract
 
The FASB issued an amendment which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this Update require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The amendments also require the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. The amendment was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendment either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption was permitted.

The Corporation elected to early adopt this amendment using the prospective approach. No material impact on results of operation, financial position or liquidity.

ASU 2018-09 Codification Improvements
 
The FASB issued an amendment which affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in this Update did not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance of this Update. However, many of the amendments in this Update did have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. There are some conforming amendments in this Update that have been made to recently issued guidance that is not yet effective that may require application of the transition and effective date guidance in the original Accounting Standards Update.

ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842)
 
The FASB issued an amendment to provide transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This amendment will require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. This amendment was effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. Early adoption was permitted. ASU 2018-01 permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity's adoption of Topic 842. ASU 2018-10 was issued as improvements and clarifications of ASU 2016-02 were identified. This Update provides clarification on narrow aspects of the previously issued updates. ASU 2018-11 was issued to provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard under ASU 2016-02. ASU 2019-01 was issued to assist in determining the fair value of underlying asset by lessors, address the presentation to the statements of cash flows, and clarify transition disclosures related to Topic 250.
