Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively. References to "we," "our," and similar pronouns is in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (this "Form 10-Q") refer to Cardinal Health, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2021 and 2020 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal years ending or ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. The COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") continues to affect the U.S. and global economies, and as previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K, the pandemic began to materially affect our businesses during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The length and severity of the pandemic and of the related economic impacts to our businesses and operations are uncertain, including its ongoing impacts to our businesses and results of operations. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2021 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K"). Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance that will require entities to measure credit losses on trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments using an "expected credit loss" model that considers historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses be recognized as allowances rather than as deductions in the amortized cost of the securities. We consider historical experience, the current economic environment, customer credit ratings or bankruptcies, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to develop our allowance for credit losses. We review these factors quarterly to determine if any adjustments are needed to the allowance. This guidance was effective beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
