Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. •We hold mutual fund assets within a Rabbi Trust to cover liabilities in our deferred compensation plan. These assets have prices quoted within active markets and, accordingly, are classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. •We have interest rate swap agreements serving to reduce our interest rate risk on our debt. These agreements can be valued using observable data and, accordingly, are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. •We anticipate paying additional consideration for certain acquisitions based upon the subsequent performance of the businesses acquired. This liability is based upon our internal assumptions over revenues, margins, volumes, and contract terms. Accordingly, these inputs are not observable and are classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The tables below present assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their corresponding level within the fair value hierarchy. No transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 fair value measurements occurred for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

The fair values of receivables, prepaids, other assets, accounts payable, accrued costs, and other current liabilities approximate the carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of our debt is consistent with the fair value as the stated interest rates in the agreements are consistent with the current market rates used in notes with similar terms in the markets (Level 2 inputs). Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss All amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are related to our foreign currency translations and interest rate swaps, net of tax. The following table shows changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income were recorded within our selling, general and administrative expenses (for foreign currency translation adjustments) and within interest expense (for gains on derivatives).

Contingent Consideration The fair value of our contingent consideration is based upon estimates of the likely payments, which are based upon assumptions over future performance. The liabilities are reviewed on a quarterly basis and, where changes in estimates arise, these are recorded to selling and general administrative expenses. Our contingent consideration relates to the businesses below: •In October 2021, we acquired the student loan servicing business from Navient, rebranded as Aidvantage. Future payments are based upon volumes, up to a maximum payment of $65.0 million. At December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, the Aidvantage contingent consideration was $5.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively. •In January 2022, we acquired BZ Bodies Limited. Future payments are based upon the performance of the business through December 2023, up to a maximum payment of $2.5 million (£2.0 million British Pounds). At December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, we recorded a contingent consideration liability for the maximum payment, which we anticipate making in fiscal year 2024. Movement in our contingent consideration balance is as follows:
