Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. Basis of Reporting The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of The Management Network Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TMNG,” “TMNG Global,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of September 29, 2012, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of these dates and for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Consequently, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements nor those normally made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, reference should be made to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2011 Form 10-K”) for additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company’s accounting policies. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date these unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 29, 2012. Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue from time and materials consulting contracts in the period in which its services are performed. In addition to time and materials contracts, the Company's other types of contracts include fixed fee contracts. The Company recognizes revenues on milestone or deliverables-based fixed fee contracts and time and materials contracts not to exceed contract price using the percentage of completion-like method described by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-35, "Revenue Recognition — Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts". For fixed fee contracts where services are not based on providing deliverables or achieving milestones, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period during which such services are expected to be performed. In connection with some fixed fee contracts, the Company may receive payments from customers that exceed revenues up to that point in time. The Company records the excess of receipts from customers over recognized revenue as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is classified as a current liability to the extent it is expected to be earned within twelve months from the date of the balance sheet. The Company develops, installs and supports customer software in addition to the provision of traditional consulting services. The Company recognizes revenue in connection with its software sales agreements utilizing the percentage of completion-like method prescribed by FASB ASC 605-35. These agreements include software right-to-use licenses ("RTU's") and related customization and implementation services. Due to the long-term nature of software implementation and the extensive software customization based on normal customer specific requirements, both the RTU’s and implementation services are treated as a single element for revenue recognition purposes. The FASB ASC 605-35 percentage-of-completion-like methodology involves recognizing revenue using the percentage of services completed, on a current cumulative cost to total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent profit margin over the period. Due to the longer term nature of these projects, developing the estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of the projects include, but are not limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and the impact of delayed performance. If changes occur in delivery, productivity or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs or revenues, we revise our cost and revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases in revenues and costs, and such revisions are reflected in income in the period in which the facts that give rise to that revision become known. In addition to the professional services related to the customization and implementation of software, the Company also provides post-contract support ("PCS") services, including technical support and maintenance services. For those contracts that include PCS service arrangements which are not essential to the functionality of the software solution, the Company separates the FASB ASC 605-35 software services and PCS services utilizing the multiple-element arrangement model prescribed by FASB ASC 605-25, "Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements". FASB ASC 605-25 addresses the accounting treatment for an arrangement to provide the delivery or performance of multiple products and/or services where the delivery of a product or system or performance of services may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time. The Company utilizes FASB ASC 605-25 to separate the PCS service elements and allocate total contract consideration to the contract elements based on the relative fair value of those elements utilizing PCS renewal terms as evidence of fair value. Revenues from PCS services are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the support and maintenance agreement. Fair Value Measurement — For cash and cash equivalents, current trade receivables and current trade payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Research and Development and Software Development Costs – During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012, software development costs of $80,000 and $420,000, respectively, were expensed as incurred. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, software development costs of $142,000 and $427,000, respectively, were expensed as incurred. No software development costs were capitalized during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011. Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation — TMNG Europe Ltd., Cartesian Ltd. and the international operations of Cambridge Strategic Management Group, Inc. conduct business primarily denominated in their respective local currency, which is their functional currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated to U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses have been translated at exchange rates which approximate the average of the rates prevailing during each period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from foreign currency translation adjustments totaled $4.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, as of September 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and is included in Total Stockholders’ Equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are re-measured at rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the Company’s results of operations. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses included in the results of operations were not significant during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011. Derivative Financial Instruments – As of September 29, 2012, the Company had one open foreign currency forward contract. This forward contract provides an economic hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates between the British pound and Euro denominated accounts receivables, but has not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. This contract, with a notional amount of $290,000 at September 29, 2012, expires on December 28, 2012. The Company utilizes valuation models for this forward contract that rely exclusively on Level 2 inputs, as defined by the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The change in fair value of foreign currency forward contracts was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011. Earnings (Loss) Per Share — The Company calculates and presents earnings (loss) per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes treasury shares held by the Company. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in the same manner except that the weighted average number of shares is increased for dilutive securities. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," the Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive effect of employee stock options. These instruments will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the respective period's average market value of the underlying Company common stock exceeds the assumed proceeds. In applying the treasury stock method, assumed proceeds include the amount, if any, the employee must pay upon exercise, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the options and the vesting of nonvested shares. The Company has excluded the effect of 497,888 stock options in the calculation of diluted income per share for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2012 as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, the Company has not included the effect of stock options and non-vested shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share as it reported a net loss for these periods and the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance seeks further convergence of the fair value recognition standards between U.S GAAP and that of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The ASU contains clarification of certain terminology to match the guidance provided by the IFRS standard, but also provides more specific guidance related to the treatment of premiums or discounts in the measurement of fair value, among other guidance, as well as prescribes additional disclosure requirements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets or liabilities that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, but yet have fair value disclosure requirements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements by removing the existing options available for the presentation of comprehensive income but rather requiring comprehensive income to be reported in either a separate continuous statement of comprehensive income or in a two statement presentation format that would highlight the components of income as the first statement and then a separate but yet consecutive statement presenting the components and totals of comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which indefinitely defers the effective date of certain provisions under ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2011-12 defer the requirement under ASU 2011-05 to present reclassification adjustments by component in both the statement where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented. This deferral was prompted by constituents’ concerns that the presentation requirements would be costly to implement and could add unnecessary complexity to financial statements. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 remain effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company currently presents comprehensive income in accordance with this standard. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The ASU includes changes to the accounting guidance for the purpose of simplifying the approach to test goodwill for impairment. The guidance allows an entity to first assess whether facts or circumstances at an interim date indicate that there is greater than 50% likelihood that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If the totality of the facts and circumstances, in management’s judgment, do not result in greater than 50% likelihood, the goodwill impairment testing need not be performed. Likewise, the guidance also allows for entities to perform the goodwill impairment test at an interim date without considering the qualitative facts and circumstances that, when taken together, may indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The amendment is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

1. Basis of Reporting

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of The Management Network Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TMNG,” “TMNG Global,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of September 29, 2012, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of these dates and for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Consequently, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements nor those normally made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, reference should be made to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2011 Form 10-K”) for additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company’s accounting policies. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date these unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 29, 2012.

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue from time and materials consulting contracts in the period in which its services are performed. In addition to time and materials contracts, the Company's other types of contracts include fixed fee contracts. The Company recognizes revenues on milestone or deliverables-based fixed fee contracts and time and materials contracts not to exceed contract price using the percentage of completion-like method described by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-35, "Revenue Recognition — Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts". For fixed fee contracts where services are not based on providing deliverables or achieving milestones, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period during which such services are expected to be performed. In connection with some fixed fee contracts, the Company may receive payments from customers that exceed revenues up to that point in time. The Company records the excess of receipts from customers over recognized revenue as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is classified as a current liability to the extent it is expected to be earned within twelve months from the date of the balance sheet.

The Company develops, installs and supports customer software in addition to the provision of traditional consulting services. The Company recognizes revenue in connection with its software sales agreements utilizing the percentage of completion-like method prescribed by FASB ASC 605-35. These agreements include software right-to-use licenses ("RTU's") and related customization and implementation services. Due to the long-term nature of software implementation and the extensive software customization based on normal customer specific requirements, both the RTU’s and implementation services are treated as a single element for revenue recognition purposes.

The FASB ASC 605-35 percentage-of-completion-like methodology involves recognizing revenue using the percentage of services completed, on a current cumulative cost to total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent profit margin over the period. Due to the longer term nature of these projects, developing the estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of the projects include, but are not limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and the impact of delayed performance. If changes occur in delivery, productivity or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs or revenues, we revise our cost and revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases in revenues and costs, and such revisions are reflected in income in the period in which the facts that give rise to that revision become known.

In addition to the professional services related to the customization and implementation of software, the Company also provides post-contract support ("PCS") services, including technical support and maintenance services. For those contracts that include PCS service arrangements which are not essential to the functionality of the software solution, the Company separates the FASB ASC 605-35 software services and PCS services utilizing the multiple-element arrangement model prescribed by FASB ASC 605-25, "Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements". FASB ASC 605-25 addresses the accounting treatment for an arrangement to provide the delivery or performance of multiple products and/or services where the delivery of a product or system or performance of services may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time. The Company utilizes FASB ASC 605-25 to separate the PCS service elements and allocate total contract consideration to the contract elements based on the relative fair value of those elements utilizing PCS renewal terms as evidence of fair value. Revenues from PCS services are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the support and maintenance agreement.

Fair Value Measurement — For cash and cash equivalents, current trade receivables and current trade payables, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.

The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs – During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012, software development costs of $80,000 and $420,000, respectively, were expensed as incurred. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, software development costs of $142,000 and $427,000, respectively, were expensed as incurred. No software development costs were capitalized during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation — TMNG Europe Ltd., Cartesian Ltd. and the international operations of Cambridge Strategic Management Group, Inc. conduct business primarily denominated in their respective local currency, which is their functional currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated to U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses have been translated at exchange rates which approximate the average of the rates prevailing during each period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from foreign currency translation adjustments totaled $4.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, as of September 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and is included in Total Stockholders’ Equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are re-measured at rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the Company’s results of operations. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses included in the results of operations were not significant during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011.

Derivative Financial Instruments – As of September 29, 2012, the Company had one open foreign currency forward contract. This forward contract provides an economic hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates between the British pound and Euro denominated accounts receivables, but has not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. This contract, with a notional amount of $290,000 at September 29, 2012, expires on December 28, 2012. The Company utilizes valuation models for this forward contract that rely exclusively on Level 2 inputs, as defined by the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The change in fair value of foreign currency forward contracts was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share — The Company calculates and presents earnings (loss) per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes treasury shares held by the Company. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in the same manner except that the weighted average number of shares is increased for dilutive securities.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," the Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive effect of employee stock options. These instruments will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the respective period's average market value of the underlying Company common stock exceeds the assumed proceeds. In applying the treasury stock method, assumed proceeds include the amount, if any, the employee must pay upon exercise, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the options and the vesting of nonvested shares. The Company has excluded the effect of 497,888 stock options in the calculation of diluted income per share for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2012 as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, the Company has not included the effect of stock options and non-vested shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share as it reported a net loss for these periods and the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance seeks further convergence of the fair value recognition standards between U.S GAAP and that of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The ASU contains clarification of certain terminology to match the guidance provided by the IFRS standard, but also provides more specific guidance related to the treatment of premiums or discounts in the measurement of fair value, among other guidance, as well as prescribes additional disclosure requirements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets or liabilities that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, but yet have fair value disclosure requirements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements by removing the existing options available for the presentation of comprehensive income but rather requiring comprehensive income to be reported in either a separate continuous statement of comprehensive income or in a two statement presentation format that would highlight the components of income as the first statement and then a separate but yet consecutive statement presenting the components and totals of comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which indefinitely defers the effective date of certain provisions under ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2011-12 defer the requirement under ASU 2011-05 to present reclassification adjustments by component in both the statement where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented. This deferral was prompted by constituents’ concerns that the presentation requirements would be costly to implement and could add unnecessary complexity to financial statements. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 remain effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company currently presents comprehensive income in accordance with this standard.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The ASU includes changes to the accounting guidance for the purpose of simplifying the approach to test goodwill for impairment. The guidance allows an entity to first assess whether facts or circumstances at an interim date indicate that there is greater than 50% likelihood that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If the totality of the facts and circumstances, in management’s judgment, do not result in greater than 50% likelihood, the goodwill impairment testing need not be performed. Likewise, the guidance also allows for entities to perform the goodwill impairment test at an interim date without considering the qualitative facts and circumstances that, when taken together, may indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The amendment is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
