Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation
References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2014 Annual Report), and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. You should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 Annual Report.
In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “(Loss) Income before Income Taxes and Equity Income” as “pre-tax (loss) income.”
In December 2014 we announced an agreement to sell our Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) business to Atos SE (Atos). As a result of this agreement and having met applicable accounting requirements, we reported the ITO business as held for sale and a discontinued operation at December 31, 2014 through its sale, which was completed on June 30, 2015. In 2014 we also completed the disposal of two smaller businesses - Xerox Audio Visual Solutions, Inc. (XAV) and Truckload Management Services (TMS) - that were also reported as discontinued operations. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of these businesses as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures, for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
During the third quarter 2015, we recorded a $16 out-of-period adjustment associated with the over accrual of an employee benefit liability account. The impact of this adjustment was not material to any individual prior quarter or year and is not material to anticipated 2015 results.
During second quarter 2015, in connection with Fuji Xerox’s (FX) payment of its semi-annual dividend, we determined that the dividends were no longer subject to an additional tax as a result of a change in the U.K. - Japan Tax Treaty in December 2014. As of December 31, 2014, we had a deferred tax liability of $44 associated with this additional tax on the undistributed earnings of FX through that date. This deferred tax liability was no longer required as a result of the change in the Tax Treaty and, therefore, should have been reversed in December 2014. There was no impact on operating cash flows from this adjustment. We assessed the materiality of this error on our 2014 financial statements and concluded that it was not material to the fourth quarter or annual period. However, due to the impact of this adjustment on the current year consolidated financial statements, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been revised as of December 31, 2014 to increase retained earnings by $44 and decrease our deferred tax liabilities by the same amount.
