The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded after the related work has been billed to the client and we determine that full collectability is not reasonably assured. It is classified in "Selling, general and administrative expense" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The provision for doubtful accounts totaled $3.7 million and $9.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $2.6 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
