Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ENGlobal Corporation (which may be referred to as “ENGlobal,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements do not include all of the information or note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2017 and June 25, 2016, and in the case of the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods presented. The Company has assessed subsequent events through the date of filing of these condensed financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. We had no items of other comprehensive income in any period presented; therefore, no other components of comprehensive income or comprehensive income are presented. Each of our quarters is comprised of 13 weeks. *Changes in Accounting* In March 2016, the Financial Statements Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to change several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including a requirement to recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Varying transition methods (modified retrospective, retrospective or prospective) are applied to different provisions of the standard. We adopted this pronouncement in the first quarter of 2017 by electing to account for forfeitures in compensation costs as they occur and reflecting this change in accounting policy on a modified retrospective basis through a non-material, cumulative-effect adjustment reducing accumulated earnings as of the beginning of 2017. We recognized a benefit in stock compensation related to forfeitures of $.01 million in the six months ended July 1, 2017. In November 2016, the FASB Issued Update 2016-18, Statement of Cash flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This update addresses the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted. We have adopted this pronouncement in the first quarter of 2017 and have reported restricted cash as a component of ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Statements of Cash Flows. *New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted* In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. This new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity’s nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 to clarify certain narrow aspects of Topic 606 such as assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and other technical corrections. This new accounting standard, as updated, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We have begun the process of evaluating the principles in the new standard following the five step approach and we are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. Through our initial evaluation, we believe the impact to our financial statements will be immaterial and we do not believe the implementation will have a material impact on our business practices. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), that will amend the accounting standards for leases. This new standard retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases but the primary change is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases on the lessee’s balance sheet and certain aspects of lease accounting have been simplified. This new standard requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. However we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact this pronouncement will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This amendment addresses how certain specified cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. This guidance becomes effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This amendment removes the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. When adopted, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This pronouncement is effective for the Company’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this pronouncement and are assessing its potential impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
