14. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and the effect of deconsolidated entities, as disclosed in the statements of cash flows, for the fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were as follows:

	2013			2012			2011
	(In millions of dollars)
Increase in trade accounts receivable	$	(14.6	)	$	(57.9	)	$	(148.5	)
Increase in prepaid expenses and other assets		(11.8	)		(12.5	)		(4.7	)
Increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities		43.8			54.1			58.9
Increase in accrued payroll and related taxes		39.2			2.4			34.3
(Decrease) increase in accrued insurance		(2.9	)		(8.7	)		0.2
Increase (decrease) in income and other taxes		5.5			(3.7	)		4.8
Total changes in operating assets and liabilities	$	59.2		$	(26.3	)	$	(55.0	)

The Company paid interest of $2.0 million, $2.6 million and $2.9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company paid income taxes of $16.9 million in 2013, $18.8 million in 2012 and $21.5 million in 2011.

During 2013, the Company determined that both cash and equivalents and accrued payroll and related taxes were understated by $4.8 million as of the 2012 year end, and by an insignificant amount as of the 2011 year end. The Company determined that the impact of this error on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows was not material. As a result of correcting the error in 2013, changes in operating assets and liabilities and net cash from operating activities are both overstated by $4.8 million in the consolidated statements of cash flows for 2013.
