Calendar Years 2019 through 2017 - The Company identified an understatement of its deferred tax assets and the related impact on goodwill impairment charges recognized in previous years. This resulted in correcting adjustments to increase deferred tax assets and reduce deferred tax expense by $217 in 2019, $1,988 in 2018 and $294 in 2017 and to recognize an incremental goodwill impairment charge and reduction of goodwill by $780 in 2019, $7,147 in 2018 and $1,056 in 2017. These amounts were recorded to reflect required adjustments in connection with the impairment of tax deductible goodwill.
|
•
|
Calendar Year 2018 - The Company recorded a correcting adjustment of $1,115 to reduce revenue and accounts receivable that was incorrectly recognized in 2018 in connection with the adoption of ASC 606.
