Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]  
Asset Impairment Charges Asset Impairment Charge
During the fourth quarter of 2019, a triggering event for the evaluation of a certain long-lived asset for impairment occurred related to our corporate U.S. front and middle office technology development project. We determined that we would not complete a technology project for which we had previously capitalized certain development costs in order to enhance and expand a technology platform already in existence. This approach should accelerate our solution implementation in mid-2020 and is expected to deliver similar benefits as the original project.

To determine the amount of the impairment charge, we aggregated all capitalized costs related to the project that could not be transferred to the expansion and enhancement of the existing platform. As a result, we recorded a $15.8 million asset impairment charge on the 2019 consolidated statements of earnings.
