Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies | (1) Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Subsequent Events On April 26, 2012, we announced our acquisition of Damilo Consulting, a French firm specializing in IT design solutions with revenues of €42.0 in 2011. The purchase accounting will be finalized during the second quarter of 2012. We have evaluated other events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through our filing date and noted no events that are subject to recognition or disclosure.
