Table 49 provides the significant accounting updates applicable to us that have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) but are not yet effective.
Table 49: Current Accounting Developments – Issued Standards
| Description and Effective Date | Financial statement impact |
|---|---|
| Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-02 – Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method | |
| The Update, effective January 1, 2024, expands the use of the proportional amortization method of accounting for tax credit investments. Upon adoption, the Update permits entities to elect to account for equity investments that generate income tax credits and benefits using the proportional amortization method if certain eligibility criteria are met. | We adopted the Update on January 1, 2024, on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Upon adoption, we elected to account for eligible investments in our renewable energy tax credit portfolio using the proportional amortization method. These investments were previously accounted for using the equity method. We also elected to continue use of the proportional amortization method to account for our low-income housing tax credit investments. Under the proportional amortization method, the cost of a tax credit investment is amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and benefits received by the investor, with both amortization and the related income tax credits and benefits recorded on a net basis within income tax expense.We recorded the impact of this accounting change to the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2024, as an increase to total assets and total liabilities of approximately $2 billion. The adoption impact on retained earnings was insignificant. Prior periods were not impacted. |
| ASU 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures | |
| The Update, effective December 31, 2024 (with early adoption permitted), enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to significant segment expenses and additional interim disclosure requirements. | The Update impacts disclosure only, and therefore does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Update to our operating segment disclosures. The following aspects of the Update may result in disclosure changes:•Requirement to disclose significant segment expenses by reportable segment if they are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss.•Requirement to disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment and provide a description of its composition; other segment items is measured as the difference between reported segment revenues less the significant segment expenses disclosed in accordance with the principle described above and reported segment profit or loss.•Requirement to disclose the CODM’s title and position and explain how the CODM uses the reported segment profit or loss measure in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. |
| ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures | |
| The Update, effective January 1, 2025 (with early adoption permitted), enhances annual income tax disclosures primarily to further disaggregate existing disclosures related to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. | The impact of the Update is limited to our annual income tax disclosures. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Update to our income tax disclosures. Upon adoption, those disclosures may change as follows:•For the tabular effective income tax rate reconciliation, alignment to specific categories (where applicable) and further disaggregation of certain categories (where applicable) by nature and/or jurisdiction if the reconciling item is 5% or more of the statutory tax expense.•Description of states and local jurisdictions that contribute the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category of the effective income tax rate reconciliation.•Disaggregate the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds) by federal, state, and non-U.S. taxes and further disaggregate by individual jurisdictions where income taxes paid (net of refunds) is 5% or more of total income taxes paid (net of refunds).•Disaggregate net income (or loss) before income tax expense (or benefit) between domestic and non-U.S. |
