Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASESOur leases consist primarily of operating real estate leases for office space and data centers in the markets in which we conduct business. We also have operating and finance leases for computer and other equipment. Many of our leases include escalating rental payments and incentives, as well as termination and renewal options. Certain of our lease agreements provide that we pay the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance. As described in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," we adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities consisted of the following:

Opportunities were identified during the fourth quarter of 2021 to reduce our facilities footprint in certain markets around the world given the success of remote work and flexible arrangements implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. In conjunction with the actions taken to exit certain leased facilities, we assessed the respective asset groups for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets associated with the leased facilities to the discounted cash flows from estimated sublease payments. As a result, we recognized a charge of $42.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021. We continue to evaluate our physical footprint and additional charges may be incurred as these facilities exit activities continue in 2022.Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $123.6 million, $117.7 million and $70.4 million, respectively, which are included as a component of cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Cash paid for finance lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities arising from obtaining new or modified right-of-use assets were not material for the year ended December 31, 2019.
