Nature And Continuance Of Operations | |
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS | 1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS Rise Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated as Atlantic Resources Inc. in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. On April 11, 2012, the Company merged its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot Minefinders Inc., a Nevada corporation, in and to the Company to effect a name change to Patriot Minefinders Inc. On January 14, 2015, the Company completed a name change to Rise Resources Inc. in the same manner. On March 29, 2017, the Company changed its name to Rise Gold Corp. These mergers were carried out solely for the purpose of effecting these changes of names. On September 18, 2020, the Company increased its authorized capital from 40,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares. On January 29, 2016, the Company completed an initial public offering in Canada and began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) on February 1, 2016. The Company is in the early stages of exploration and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its acquisition activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss of $5,471,535 for the year ended July 31, 2020 and has accumulated a deficit of $17,940,599. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to maintain continued support from its shareholders and creditors and to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. However, management believes that the Company has sufficient working capital to meet its projected minimum financial obligations for the next fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, during the year ended July 31, 2020, the novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the Company’s business are not known at this time. These impacts could include an impact on the Company’s ability to obtain debt and equity financing to fund ongoing exploration activities as well as its ability to explore and conduct business. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At July 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $3,267,744 (2019 – working capital deficiency of $506,583). |

Basis Of Preparation | |
BASIS OF PREPARATION | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION Generally accepted accounting principles These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for financial information with the instructions to Form 10-K and Regulation S-K. Certain of the prior year comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year. Basis of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases. The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties and the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Functional and reporting currency The Company changed its functional currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollars as at August 1, 2019. The change in functional currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollars is accounted for prospectively from August 1, 2019. Management determined that the Company’s functional currency had changed based on the assessment related to significant changes of the Company’s economic facts and circumstances. These significant changes included the fact that the Company’s equity and debt financings as well as the majority of the Company’s expenses are now primarily denominated in US dollars. Moreover, the Company’s place of business and management are now located in the United States. In addition, beginning August 1, 2019, the Company also changed its reporting currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollar to provide greater clarity to users of the financial statements. The change in reporting currency was applied retrospectively effective beginning August 1, 2019. Financial statements for all periods presented have been recast into United States dollars. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect as of the date of the balance sheet date. The United States dollar translated amounts of nonmonetary assets and liabilities as of August 1, 2019 became the historical accounting basis for those assets and liabilities as of August 1, 2019. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the approximate exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. All resulting exchange differences were recognized within currency translation adjustment, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. In applying the change in reporting currency, the Company applied the current rate method for presenting the comparative period presented. Under this method, all assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations were translated from their Canadian dollar functional currency into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date, and shareholders’ equity were translated at the historical rates. Opening shareholders’ equity at August 1, 2017 has been translated at the historic rate on that date and any other movements in shareholders’ equity during the period from August 1, 2017 to July 31 2019 were translated using the appropriate historical rates at the date of the respective transaction. All other revenues, expenses and cash flows were translated at the average rates during the reporting periods presented. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Derivatives Derivatives are initially recognized at the fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and transaction costs are expensed. The Company’s derivatives are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. As the exercise price of the Company’s warrants are in Canadian Dollars, and the functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar, these warrants are considered a derivative as a variable amount of cash in the Company’s functional currency will be received upon exercise. Receivables The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. Mineral property The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset. Long-lived assets Long-lived assets, consisting of equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Equipment Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Equipment purchased by the Company is depreciated over 15 years. Asset retirement obligations The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). Loss per share Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company adjusts net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares such as stock options and warrants. As at July 31, 2020, 1,005,000 outstanding options and 12,472,000 outstanding warrants were excluded from the diluted calculation. Financial instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable, payable to related parties and equipment loan. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount. Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income. The following indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilizes to determine the fair value of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data. Cash is considered level 1 and classified as cash on hand and held at banks. Financial instruments, including payable to related parties, loan payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and equipment loan are classified as other financial liabilities and are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Concentration of credit risk The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of July 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company has not exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured. Share-based compensation for all stock-based awards to employees and directors is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value. Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss from the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable related to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or subsequently enacted by the year-end date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized. Recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This ASU applies to public companies beginning January 1, 2019 and affects the requirement that lessees account for all leases – both operating and finance – on the balance sheet while recognizing both an asset for the right to use the leased asset and an obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. The Company has assessed the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined that it has no significant impact. Other than the above, the Company has determined that other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements are either not applicable to the Company’s business or that no material effect is expected on the financial statements as a result of future adoption. |

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS | 5. MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS The Company’s mineral properties balance consists of: Recast (Note 3) Idaho-Maryland, California Ending balance, July 31, 2019 41,43,349 Foreign currency translation adjustment 5,704 Ending balance, July 31, 2020 $ 41,49,053 Title to mineral properties Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain mineral titles as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveying history characteristic of many mineral properties. As at July 31, 2020, the Company holds title to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property. As of July 31, 2020, based on management’s review of the carrying value of mineral rights, management determined that there is no evidence that the cost of these acquired mineral rights will not be fully recovered and accordingly, the Company determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of mineral rights was required. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and has incurred only acquisition and exploration costs. Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property, California On August 30, 2016, the Company entered into an option agreement with three parties to purchase a 100% interest in and to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine property located near Grass Valley, California, United States. Pursuant to the option agreement, in order to exercise the option, the Company was required to pay $2,000,000 by November 30, 2016. Upon execution of the option agreement, the Company paid the vendors a non-refundable cash deposit in the amount of $25,000, which would be credited against the purchase price of $2,000,000 upon exercise of the option. On November 30, 2016, the Company negotiated an extension on the closing date of the option agreement to December 26, 2016, in return for a cash payment of $25,000, which would be credited against the purchase price of $2,000,000 upon exercise of the option. On December 28, 2016, the Company negotiated a further no-cost extension of the closing date of the option agreement to April 30, 2017. On January 25, 2017, the Company exercised the option by paying $1,950,000 and acquired a 100% interest in the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine property. In connection with the option agreement, the Company agreed to pay a cash commission of $140,000 equal to 7% of the purchase price of $2,000,000. The commission was settled on January 25, 2017 through the issuance of 92,000 units valued at $1.16 (C$2.00) per unit.

Generally accepted accounting principles | Generally accepted accounting principles These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for financial information with the instructions to Form 10-K and Regulation S-K. Certain of the prior year comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year. |
Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases. The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties and the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and would impact future results of operations and cash flows. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Functional and reporting currency | Functional and reporting currency The Company changed its functional currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollars as at August 1, 2019. The change in functional currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollars is accounted for prospectively from August 1, 2019. Management determined that the Company’s functional currency had changed based on the assessment related to significant changes of the Company’s economic facts and circumstances. These significant changes included the fact that the Company’s equity and debt financings as well as the majority of the Company’s expenses are now primarily denominated in US dollars. Moreover, the Company’s place of business and management are now located in the United States. In addition, beginning August 1, 2019, the Company also changed its reporting currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollar to provide greater clarity to users of the financial statements. The change in reporting currency was applied retrospectively effective beginning August 1, 2019. Financial statements for all periods presented have been recast into United States dollars. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect as of the date of the balance sheet date. The United States dollar translated amounts of nonmonetary assets and liabilities as of August 1, 2019 became the historical accounting basis for those assets and liabilities as of August 1, 2019. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the approximate exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. All resulting exchange differences were recognized within currency translation adjustment, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. In applying the change in reporting currency, the Company applied the current rate method for presenting the comparative period presented. Under this method, all assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations were translated from their Canadian dollar functional currency into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date, and shareholders’ equity were translated at the historical rates. Opening shareholders’ equity at August 1, 2017 has been translated at the historic rate on that date and any other movements in shareholders’ equity during the period from August 1, 2017 to July 31 2019 were translated using the appropriate historical rates at the date of the respective transaction. All other revenues, expenses and cash flows were translated at the average rates during the reporting periods presented. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. |
Derivatives | Derivatives Derivatives are initially recognized at the fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and transaction costs are expensed. The Company’s derivatives are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. As the exercise price of the Company’s warrants are in Canadian Dollars, and the functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar, these warrants are considered a derivative as a variable amount of cash in the Company’s functional currency will be received upon exercise. |
Receivables | Receivables The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. |
Mineral property | Mineral property The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset. |
Long-lived assets | Long-lived assets Long-lived assets, consisting of equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. |
Equipment | Equipment Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Equipment purchased by the Company is depreciated over 15 years. |
Asset retirement obligations | Asset retirement obligations The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). |
Loss per share | Loss per share Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company adjusts net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares such as stock options and warrants. As at July 31, 2020, 1,005,000 outstanding options and 12,472,000 outstanding warrants were excluded from the diluted calculation. |
Financial instruments | Financial instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable, payable to related parties and equipment loan. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. |
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities | Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount. Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income. The following indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilizes to determine the fair value of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data. Cash is considered level 1 and classified as cash on hand and held at banks. Financial instruments, including payable to related parties, loan payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and equipment loan are classified as other financial liabilities and are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |
Concentration of credit risk | Concentration of credit risk The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of July 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company has not exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. |
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured. Share-based compensation for all stock-based awards to employees and directors is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value. |
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss from the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable related to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or subsequently enacted by the year-end date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized. |
Recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards | Recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This ASU applies to public companies beginning January 1, 2019 and affects the requirement that lessees account for all leases – both operating and finance – on the balance sheet while recognizing both an asset for the right to use the leased asset and an obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. The Company has assessed the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined that it has no significant impact. Other than the above, the Company has determined that other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements are either not applicable to the Company’s business or that no material effect is expected on the financial statements as a result of future adoption. |
