Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Financial Statement Presentation | Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The financial statements include adjustments consisting of normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of ASGN Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("ASGN" or the "Company") and its results of operations for the interim dates and periods set forth herein. The results for any of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("2019 10-K"). COVID-19 pandemic — As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company experienced a precipitous decline in revenues from its creative marketing and permanent placement divisions in the second quarter of 2020, with some recovery in the current quarter. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the goodwill and trademarks of these divisions, which included sensitivity analyses and stress testing on certain of the more sensitive inputs to the valuation models, including the weighted-average cost of capital and future expected revenues. Based on this assessment in the second quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that their fair values, more likely than not, exceeded their carrying values. In the third quarter of 2020, revenues from these divisions improved and the other more sensitive inputs to the valuation models remained reasonable. As a result, there were no indicators of impairment at September 30, 2020. Given the uncertainty of the current economic environment, accounting estimates and assumptions that require management's judgments concerning the effects of the economic downturn and recovery, particularly those relating to the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, are being closely monitored. As allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), the Company deferred payment of $60.8 million in federal payroll taxes. This relief program is applicable for wages paid through December 31, 2020 and requires 50 percent of the amounts deferred to be paid by December 31, 2021 with the remaining amount paid by December 31, 2022.
