RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES (ASU) NOT YET ADOPTED
ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses – In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses that will require additional detail for certain categories of income statement expenses. The new guidance will be effective for Basin Electric for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance is to be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software – In September 2025, the FASB issued new guidance to modernize existing older guidance regarding capitalization and recognition to reflect the software development approaches currently being utilized. The new guidance will be effective for Basin Electric for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance is to be applied using one of the three prescribed approaches. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
ASU No. 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging: Hedge Accounting Improvements – In November 2025, the FASB issued new guidance in an effort to better reflect an entity's risk management activities in the financial statements. The update makes targeted improvements by addressing five specific matters that arose from the implementation of previous ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements for Accounting for Hedging Activities and the effects of LIBOR cessation. The new guidance will be effective for Basin Electric for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, although an entity may elect to adopt the guidance for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants: Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities – In December 2025, the FASB issued new guidance to improve GAAP by establishing authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. Previously, GAAP did not provide specific guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government, and due to this absence of specific guidance, Basin Electric like many other business entities, utilized the guidance contained in IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. The new guidance will be effective for Basin Electric for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance is to be applied using one of the three prescribed approaches. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
