Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION In the fourth quarter of 2021, we integrated our Global Consumer Solutions business into our USIS, Workforce Solutions and International operating segments. U.S. consumer credit monitoring solutions businesses have been moved into the Online Information Solutions business of USIS with the U.S. consumer identity theft protection business moved to the Employer Services business of Workforce Solutions. All international consumer credit monitoring solutions businesses in Canada and Europe have been moved into the respective country operations within the International operating segment. These changes in operating segments align with how we manage our business as of the fourth quarter of 2021. Footnote disclosures below have been retrospectively restated to reflect these changes. Reportable Segments. We manage our business and report our financial results through the following three reportable segments, which are the same as our operating segments: •Workforce Solutions •U.S. Information Solutions •International The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in our summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1). We evaluate the performance of these reportable segments based on their operating revenue, operating income and operating margins, excluding any unusual or infrequent items, if any. The measurement criteria for segment profit or loss and segment assets are substantially the same for each reportable segment. Inter-segment sales are not material for all periods presented. All transactions between segments are accounted for at fair market value or cost depending on the nature of the transaction and no timing differences occur between segments. A summary of segment products and services is as follows: Workforce Solutions. This segment includes employment, income, criminal history and social security number verification services as well as complementary payroll-based transaction services, employment tax management services and identity theft protection products. U.S. Information Solutions. This segment includes consumer and commercial information services (such as credit information and credit scoring, credit modeling services and portfolio analytics, locate services, fraud detection and prevention services, identity verification services and other consulting services); mortgage services; financial marketing services; identity management; and credit monitoring products sold to resellers or directly to consumers. International. This segment includes information services products, which includes consumer and commercial services (such as credit and financial information, credit scoring and credit modeling services), credit and other marketing products and services. In Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Canada, we also provide information, technology and services to support debt collections and recovery management.
