Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company records goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment on July 1 or whenever there is a material change in events or circumstances that indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment on July 1 or whenever there is a material change in events or circumstances that indicates that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount. All other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Annual Impairment Assessment

The Company tested its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as part of its annual assessment. For each test, the Company qualitatively assessed all relevant events or circumstances that could impact the estimate of fair value. Based upon this assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.
