1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
CBIZ, Inc. is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, provides professional business services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals,
governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ manages and reports its operations along four practice groups: Financial Services, Employee Services, Medical Management Professionals
(“MMP”) and National Practices. A further description of products and services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 22.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“CBIZ” or the “Company”). All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CBIZ has determined that its relationship with certain Certified Public Accounting
(“CPA”) firms with whom it maintains administrative service agreements (“ASAs”) qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable
interest entities as the impact is not material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
The CPA
firms with which CBIZ maintains ASAs may operate as limited liability companies or professional corporations. The firms are separate legal entities with separate governing bodies and officers. CBIZ has no ownership interest in any of these CPA
firms, and neither the existence of the ASAs nor the providing of services there under is intended to constitute control of the CPA firms by CBIZ. CBIZ and the CPA firms maintain their own respective liability and risk of loss in connection with
performance of each of their respective services.
Fees earned by CBIZ under the ASAs are recorded as revenue (at net realizable value) in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were approximately $116.1 million, $109.1 million and $110.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a majority of which was related to services rendered to
privately-held clients. In the event that accounts receivable and unbilled work in process become uncollectible by the CPA firms, the service fee due to CBIZ is typically reduced on a proportional basis. Although the ASAs do not constitute control,
CBIZ is one of the beneficiaries of the agreements and may bear certain economic risks.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management’s estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimates of collectability of accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, the realizability of goodwill and
other intangible assets, the fair value of certain assets, the valuation of stock options in determining compensation expense, estimates of accrued liabilities (such as incentive compensation, self-funded health insurance accruals, legal reserves,
income tax uncertainties, future contingent purchase price obligations, and consolidation and integration reserves), the provision for income taxes, the realizability of deferred tax assets, and other factors. Management’s estimates and
assumptions are derived from and are continually evaluated based upon available information, judgment and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
