Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition We invoice delegates in advance of travel and payments made are recorded as deferred liabilities for participant deposits. The use of cash collected from participant deposits is not restricted by agreement or law, and therefore is not reported as restricted cash. We also pay for certain program costs in advance of travel, including but not limited to airfare, hotel, and transportation services. Those advanced payments are recorded as prepaid program costs. For non-directly delivered programs, we do not actively manage the operations of each program, and therefore, recognize revenue and anticipated costs from these programs on a net basis when travel programs begin. For directly delivered programs in which we organize and operate all activities, we recognize the gross revenue and cost of sales of these programs over the period the programs operate. We charge administrative fees under our withdrawal policy for any delegate who enrolls on our programs but does not ultimately travel. The amount of the administrative fee will vary depending on when the withdrawal occurs. We recognize withdrawal fees concurrent with the revenue recognition from the related programs. Internet content is recognized at the point of sale while advertising revenues are recognized in conjunction with an advertisement being viewed on the BookRags site. Revenue from annual subscriptions for content access to the website is deferred and recognized monthly over the term of the subscription. Cost of internet content sales include amortization of intangible assets and licensing agreement costs. For a more complete discussion, please refer to our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 11, 2013.
