Recently adopted accounting standard. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), requiring additional annual disclosures about income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and information about income taxes paid. We adopted the new guidance for our annual period ended April 30, 2026 and applied the updated standard prospectively (refer to Note 13).
Accounting standards not yet adopted. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), requiring disaggregation, in the notes to the financial statements, of expense line items in the income statement that include certain categories of expenses. We are required to adopt the updated standard for annual disclosures for the period ending April 30, 2028, and for interim disclosures within 2029, with earlier adoption permitted. The update can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this ASU will have on our disclosures.

About New Standards Disclosures

New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.

Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
