Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Selected Terms Used in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements ASA – Administrative Service Agreement ASC – Accounting Standards Codification ASU – Accounting Standards Update CECL– Current expected credit losses CPA firm – Certified Public Accounting firm FASB – The Financial Accounting Standards Board GAAP – United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles LIBOR – London Interbank Offered Rate SEC – United States Securities and Exchange Commission Topic 326 – ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Description of Business: CBIZ, Inc. is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, has been providing professional business services since 1996, primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ, Inc. manages and reports its operations along three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. A further description of products and services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 13. Segment Disclosures, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“CBIZ”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements: The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of CBIZ management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. Changes in Accounting Policies: Except for the adoption of Topic 326, which required a change in our accounting policy, we have consistently applied the accounting policies for the periods presented as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Effective January 1, 2020, we changed our accounting policy for the valuation of accounts receivable allowances and available-for-sale securities as a result of adopting Topic 326 as described in Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements.
