Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Disclosures | Note 21. Segment Disclosures Our business units have been aggregated into three practice groups: (i) Financial Services, (ii) Benefits and Insurance Services and (iii) National Practices, based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients, similarity of the regulatory environment and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by practice group is provided in the table below.
Financial Services |  | Benefits and Insurance Services |  | National Practices
• Accounting and Tax |  | • Group Health Benefits Consulting |  | • Managed Networking and Hardware Services
• Government Healthcare Consulting • Financial Advisory |  | • Payroll • Property & Casualty |  | • Healthcare Consulting
• Valuation |  | • Retirement Plan Services |  |
• Risk & Advisory Services |  |  |  |
Corporate and Other Included in Corporate and Other are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of certain healthcare costs, gains or losses attributable to assets held in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, share-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and other various expenses. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in the “Corporate and Other” segment. We operate in the United States and Canada and revenue generated from such operations during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |

There is no one customer that represents a significant portion of our revenue. Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 is presented below (in thousands). We do not manage our assets on a segment basis, therefore segment assets are not presented below.

(1) | “Operating expenses” under the Financial Services and Benefits and Insurance Services practice groups include a reduction of $0.9 million and $0.6 million related to a state payroll tax incentive associated with an office relocation. “Corporate general and administrative expenses” include a reduction of less than $0.1 million related to the office relocation as discussed above. The reductions was recorded in “Other (expense) income, net” in 2015 but was reclassified to “Operating expenses” and “Corporate general and administrative expenses” to align the incentives with the expenses associated with the office relocation. The reclassification had no impact on “Income from continuing operations” or diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.
