Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation	1.Basis of Presentation Effective January 5, 2015, the official name of the Company changed from AECOM Technology Corporation to AECOM. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of AECOM (the Company) are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, including all normal recurring items necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 (the Annual Report). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain immaterial reclassifications were made to the prior year to conform to current year presentation. The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared consistently with the accounting policies described in the Annual Report and should be read together with the Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 include immaterial error corrections related to the balance sheet and statement of operations as of and for the year ended September 30, 2015. These corrections primarily related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of URS Corporation and resulted in an increase in goodwill, deferred tax assets- net, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $38.0 million, $69.3 million and $48.2 million, respectively, and a decrease in accounts receivable and income tax receivables of $5.0 million and $54.6 million, respectively. The impact of these error corrections on net income attributable to AECOM for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 was an increase of $4.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Management has assessed both quantitative and qualitative factors discussed in ASC No. 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and Staff Accounting Bulletin 1.M, Materiality (SAB Topic 1.M) to determine that the correction of these misstatements qualifies as an immaterial error correction. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. The Company reports its annual results of operations based on 52 or 53-week periods ending on the Friday nearest September 30. The Company reports its quarterly results of operations based on periods ending on the Friday nearest December 31, March 31, and June 30. For clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if the periods ended on September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30.
