Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 full year financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations have been included and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. During the quarter, the Company changed its Consolidated Financial Statement presentation to present non-classified Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These changes, along with other reclassifications, have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other period or for the full year. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 includes additional information about its operations, financial position and accounting policies, and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All amounts in these notes, except per share data in the text and tables herein, are stated in millions unless otherwise indicated.
