ASU 2016-13 [Member]
ASU 2016-13 [Member]
ASU requires certain financial assets, including those measured at amortized cost basis, be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, utilizing an impairment model known as the current expected credit loss model. Under this ASU, entities must use an allowance approach for credit losses on available for sale debt securities and the allowances must be limited to the amount at which security's fair value is below the amortized costs of the asset.
ASU 2016-01 [Member]
ASU 2016-01 [Member]
This ASU modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Upon adoption, investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method generally must be carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
