Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Goodwill
Goodwill
The Company is required to test for impairment on at least an annual basis. In addition, the Company tests for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. Such events may include, but are not limited to, significant changes in economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on the Company's customer base or its businesses, or a material negative change in its relationships with significant customers. The Company conducts its annual impairment assessment as of October 1.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The update gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment that may enable them to forgo the annual two-step test for impairment. ASU No. 2011-08 allows a qualitative assessment to first be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting units is less than its carrying value. If a company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the two-step test. Otherwise a company does not have to perform the two-step test. The ASU also includes a revised list of events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company conducted its annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2011 which included adoption of this guidance.
