Settlement Assets And Settlement Obligations [Abstract] |
Settlement Assets And Settlement Obligations | 5. Settlement assets and settlement obligations Settlement assets comprise (1) cash received from the South African government that the Company holds pending disbursement to recipient cardholders of social welfare grants and (2) cash received from customers on whose behalf the Company processes payroll payments that the Company will disburse to customer employees, payroll-related payees and other payees designated by the customer. Settlement obligations comprise (1) amounts that the Company is obligated to disburse to recipient beneficiaries of social welfare grants, and (2) amounts that the Company is obligated to pay to customer employees, payroll-related payees and other payees designated by the customer. The balances at each reporting date may vary widely depending on the timing of the receipts and payments of these assets and obligations. Net change in settlement assets and net change in settlement obligations included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, have been increased by $39.4 million as a result of the restatement described in Note 2—(Significant accounting policies—Settlement assets and settlement obligations) to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016.
