New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
New authoritative accounting guidance
 
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This standard requires netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard will replace the existing accounting standard for revenue recognition and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application of this standard is not permitted. This standard permits two transition approaches, either the retrospective transition method or the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the standard, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
