Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) of PRGX Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “PRGX,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PRGX Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Beginning with the third quarter of 2013, we present fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration as an adjustment to our segment measure earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as presented in Note D - Operating Segments and Related Information.  We now include these fair value adjustments in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation in the "Acquisition-related charges (benefits)" line, which we renamed from "Acquisition transaction costs and acquisition obligations classified as compensation." Accordingly, we have revised the presentation of our Adjusted EBITDA calculation for all relevant prior periods.
