Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Quarter End The company operates on a quarterly calendar that closes on the Saturday closest to the end of the calendar quarter. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation (See Note B). These reclassifications are included in the footnote tables for the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2018.
