Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contractual Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements	NOTE 14. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. While the outcome of any claim or litigation is inherently unpredictable, and with the exception of the matter described in the following paragraph, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. On January 28, 2010, the Company filed a declaratory action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Inveshare, Inc. (the “Defendant”) seeking a declaration by the court that Broadridge did not infringe two U.S. patents owned by the Defendant that included claims related to the delivery and distribution of an electronic solicitation. The Company’s complaint also alleged that the Defendant’s patents were invalid and/or were unenforceable due to inequitable conduct. On March 22, 2010, the Defendant answered the Company’s complaint and filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging that Broadridge used a process that infringes one of the patents in the action. In its counterclaim, Defendant was seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages. During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012, this lawsuit was settled by the parties. The outcome of this litigation did not result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company entered into a data center outsourcing services agreement with Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”) before the Company’s spin-off from ADP in March 2007 (the “ADP Agreement”) under which ADP provided the Company with data center services. The ADP Agreement expired on June 30, 2012. The Company entered into a short-term extension of the ADP Agreement which expired in August 2012. At March 31, 2013, the Company has no further obligation with ADP for data center services. In March 2010, the Company and International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) entered into an Information Technology Services Agreement (the “IT Services Agreement”), under which IBM provides certain aspects of the Company’s information technology infrastructure that were previously provided under the ADP Agreement. Under the IT Services Agreement, IBM provides a broad range of technology services to the Company including supporting its mainframe, midrange, server, network and data center operations, as well as providing disaster recovery services. The Company has the option of incorporating additional services into the agreement over time. The migration of the data center processing from ADP to IBM was completed in August 2012. The IT Services Agreement expires on June 30, 2022. The Company has the right to renew the initial term of the IT Services Agreement for up to one additional 12-month term. Commitments remaining under this agreement at March 31, 2013 are $510.7 million through fiscal year 2022, the final year of the contract. It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, the Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company may use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes. The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s products and services. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties, or collateral arrangements. Certain of the Company’s processing services are performed by a registered broker-dealer. As a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), it is subject to regulations concerning many aspects of its business, including trade practices, capital requirements, record retention, money laundering prevention, the protection of customer funds and customer securities, and the supervision of the conduct of directors, officers and employees. A failure to comply with any of these laws, rules or regulations could result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders, or the suspension or revocation of SEC or FINRA authorization granted to allow the operation of its business or disqualification of its directors, officers or employees. In addition, as a registered broker-dealer, it is required to participate in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) for the benefit of customers. In addition, MG Trust Company, LLC (“MG Trust”), a subsidiary of Matrix, is a Colorado State non-depository trust company whose primary business is to provide cash agent, custodial and directed or non-discretionary trust services to institutional customers.
