ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) issued new guidance which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification on the statement of cash flows, and accounting for forfeitures. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements together with evaluating the adoption date.
In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires companies to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for operating leases with a term greater than one year. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted. The Company regularly enters into operating leases which previously did not require recognition on the balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements together with evaluating the adoption date.
In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements together with evaluating the adoption date.
In May 2014, and as subsequently updated, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that creates a single revenue recognition model, while clarifying the principles for recognizing revenue. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods. The Company will adopt the new guidance on September 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that required entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a deduction from the carrying amounts of that debt liability. Current guidance classifies debt issuance costs as an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt the new guidance on September 1, 2016.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or with effective dates during fiscal 2016 had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
