Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION 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, expenses and transfers 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. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by our CEO, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company prepares a budget of expected financial performance for each of its operating segments on an annual basis. The CODM considers actual results of operating income to those budgeted for each of the operating segments to assess segment performance and decide how to allocate resources. A summary of segment products and services is as follows: Workforce Solutions. This segment provides services enabling customers to verify income, employment, educational history, criminal justice data, healthcare professional licensure and sanctions of people in the U.S., as well as providing our employer customers with services that assist them in complying with and automating certain payroll-related and human resource management processes throughout the entire cycle of the employment relationship, including unemployment cost management, employee screening, employee onboarding, tax credits and incentives, I-9 management and compliance, immigration case management, tax form management services and Affordable Care Act management services. 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. We operate in the following regions: Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Canada. The International 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 and Latin America, we also provide information, technology and services to support debt collections and recovery management.
