During 2017, foreign currency adjustments includes an immaterial prior period adjustment related to the allocation of goodwill to the appropriate foreign currency at the time of multi-currency entity acquisitions, with the related offset to accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss).

Effective August 31, 2018, FIS sold substantially all the assets of the Certegy Check Services business unit in North America, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $54 million, including goodwill distributed through the sale of business of $43 million.
