ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

We adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) during 2022, none of which had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures:


ASU		Effective Date
2021-05	Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments	January 1, 2022
2021-08	Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers	January 1, 2022
2021-10	Government Assistance: Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance	January 1, 2022

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that eliminates the troubled debt recognition and measurement guidance. The new standard requires that an entity apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in ASC 310 to all loan modifications and/or receivable modifications. It also enhances disclosure requirements for certain refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and requires disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination in the vintage disclosure. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We are assessing the effect of the new standard on our financial statements and disclosures.

The Company considers the applicability and impacts of all ASUs. All other ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Provision for Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting, we estimate one single effective tax rate for subsidiaries that are subject to tax, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
