Note 20 - Other Charges

Other charges are comprised of acquisition-related costs, contingent consideration adjustments and restructuring initiatives which have been undertaken from time to time under various restructuring plans. Acquisition-related costs primarily include advisory services, administrative costs and retention bonuses to employees joining by way of an acquisition, and collectively relate to completed and prospective acquisitions. Contingent consideration adjustments relate to changes in anticipated acquisition earnout payment accruals primarily as a result of increases or decreases to revenue performance and forecasts. Revenue forecasts are updated on a quarterly basis and the related earnout payment accruals are updated accordingly.
