Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets [Abstract]
Sale of Receivables	Sale of Receivables On April 21, 2015, CSC entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with The Royal Bank of Scotland, PLC (RBS) as Purchaser, along with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Ltd. and Bank of Nova Scotia, each as a Participant, for the continuous non-recourse sale of its eligible NPS segment trade receivables. Subsequent to the April 21, 2015 agreement, RBS assigned its rights as a purchaser to The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd (BTMU), and the Purchase Agreement was amended to add CSC Government Solutions LLC as a seller, and BTMU, The Bank of Nova Scotia, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. each as a purchaser. The amended agreement also converted the receivables purchase facility (the Facility) to a committed facility, extended the initial term to a two-year period, and added Computer Sciences Government Services, Inc as a guarantor. Under the Facility, CSC can sell up to $450 million of eligible NPS receivables, including billed receivables and certain unbilled receivables arising from “cost plus fixed fee” and “time and materials” contracts. CSC has no retained interests in the transferred receivables and only performs collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser for a servicing fee. The Company expects to use the proceeds from receivable sales under the Facility for general corporate purposes. CSC accounts for these receivable transfers as sales under ASC 860 "Transfers and Servicing" and derecognizes the sold receivables from its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature, and as a result no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. CSC estimated that its servicing fee was at fair value and therefore, no servicing asset or liability related to these services was recognized as of October 2, 2015. During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2016, CSC sold $619 million and $1,333 million, respectively, of billed and unbilled receivables. Collections corresponding to these receivables sales were $609 million and $1,156 million for the second quarter and first six months, respectively. As of October 2, 2015, there was $7 million of cash collected but not remitted to purchasers, which was recorded as restricted cash, and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets with the offsetting liability included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, on the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. CSC incurred purchase discount and administrative fees of under $1 million for the second quarter, and $1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016. These fees were recorded, net of servicing income, within other (income) expense, net in the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. The net impact of the accounts receivable sales was $9 million and $176 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2016, respectively. The Company also holds $2 million in restricted cash as recourse for accrued purchase discount and administrative fees. This restricted cash balance, being long-term in nature, is included in Other Assets on the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The net cash proceeds under the Facility, except for the $2 million escrow and $7 million of cash collected but not remitted to purchasers, are reported as operating activities in the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows because both cash received from purchasers and cash collections are not subject to significant interest rate risk. The $2 million escrow is reported as investing activity, and the $7 million of cash collected but not remitted to purchasers is reported as a financing inflow and a corresponding investing outflow, in the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.
