7.3 Effective Date
For public business entities, ASU 2017-12 became effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. In November 2019,
the FASB issued ASU
2019-10, which deferred the effective date for all other entities.
For those entities, ASU 2017-12 became effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2021.
In addition, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU
2019-04, which included amendments to ASC 815 related to hedge
accounting. For entities that had not yet adopted ASU 2017-12 as of the issuance date of
ASU 2019-04, the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2017-12 are the same
as those of ASU 2019-04.1 For entities that had adopted ASU 2017-12 as of the issuance date of ASU 2019-04,
the effective date of ASU 2019-04 is the earlier of the beginning of the first quarterly
period (if applicable) or the first annual period after the issuance date of ASU
2019-04, with early adoption permitted on or after that issuance date.
