Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include acquisition purchase price allocations, the fair value of goodwill and intangibles, the realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities, acquisition-related liabilities, fair value of stock-based compensation for stock options and performance share units granted, and assets and liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the SEC. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. Our operating segments have historically been Insurance, Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services. On March 11, 2022 and April 8, 2022, we sold our environmental health and safety business, which represented the “specialized markets” in our Energy and Specialized Markets segment, and our Financial Services segment, respectively. See Note 7. Dispositions for further discussion. For the remainder of 2022, we will continue to show only the historical results of these dispositions in their respective previous operating segments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standard | Description | Effective Date | Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Business Combinations (Topic 805) In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update "ASU" No. 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU No. 2021-08") | This amendment requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification "ASC" 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. An acquirer should assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. If the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. In circumstances in which the acquirer is unable to assess or rely on how the acquiree applied ASC 606, the acquirer should consider the terms of the acquired contracts, such as timing of payment, identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and allocate the total transaction price to each identified performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis as of the date the acquiree entered into the contracts to determine what should be recorded at the acquisition date. | Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. | We elected to early adopt ASU No. 2021-08 on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis to all business combinations that occurred on or after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2021-08 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
