Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FTI Consulting, Inc., including its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “FTI Consulting”), presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments made were normal recurring accruals. Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased a short-term investment, which is included in the “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” financial statement line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term investment represents an investment in a certificate of deposit with an original maturity of less than one year. We classified the short-term investment as held-to-maturity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. Short-term investments classified as held-to-maturity are financial instruments the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity and are reported net of amortized cost. Any interest earned on the short-term investment is recorded in “Interest income and other” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
