| Basis of Presentation | |
| The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) of PRGX Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. | |
| Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “PRGX,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PRGX Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
| Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements, including the notes thereto, to conform to the presentation changes described below. | |
| Beginning with the second quarter of 2014, we reclassified certain information technology expenses within our Recovery Audit Services — Americas segment from Selling, General and Administrative expenses to Cost of Revenue to better reflect the nature of the work performed. | |
| Beginning with the first quarter of 2014, we present the former New Services segment as two separate segments: Adjacent Services, which was formerly referred to as Profit Optimization services, and Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services. We have revised the presentation of our operating segments and related information in Note D - Operating Segments and Related Information. Also beginning with the first quarter of 2014, we reclassified certain expenses within the Recovery Audit Services — Europe/Asia-Pacific segment from Cost of Revenue to Selling, General and Administrative expenses to better reflect costs associated with new business development efforts. | |
| Unbilled Receivables | |
| A significant portion of the unbilled receivables presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) related to our Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services as of December 31, 2013 as we generally cannot invoice the prime contractors for whom we operate as a subcontractor under the Medicare RAC program until cash is collected by the prime contractors. These unbilled receivables, net of the related reserves, were $5.6 million as of December 31, 2013. There were no unbilled receivables related to the Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services segment as of September 30, 2014. | |
| New Accounting Standards | |
| A summary of the new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) that apply to PRGX is set forth below: | |
| FASB ASC Update No. 2014-15. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
| FASB ASC Update No. 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the transferring entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently undergoing an evaluation of the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. | |
| FASB ASC Update No. 2014-08. In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)—Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted for transactions that have not been disclosed in previously issued financial statements. We adopted ASU 2014-08 in the third quarter of 2014. The Company's disposal of assets on October 1, 2014 (see Note J) did not qualify as a discontinued operation as defined in ASU 2014-08. The impact of ASU 2014-08 on the Company's financial statements with respect to any future transaction will be dependent on whether any such transaction falls within the scope of the new guidance. |

The net proceeds to us from the public offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were $14.7 million. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders. In addition, the underwriters elected to exercise an overallotment option for an additional 687,385 shares, and completed the additional sale on January 8, 2013.

| Stock-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||
| The Company currently has three stock-based compensation plans under which awards have been granted: (1) the Stock Incentive Plan; (2) the 2006 Management Incentive Plan (“2006 MIP”); and (3) the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 EIP”) (collectively, the “Plans”). We describe the Plans in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
| 2008 EIP Awards | ||||||||||||||
| Stock options granted under the 2008 EIP generally have a term of six to seven years and vest in equal annual increments over the vesting period, which typically is three years for employees and one year for directors. The following table summarizes stock option grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013: | ||||||||||||||

| -2 | The Company granted non-qualified stock options outside its existing stock-based compensation plans in the third quarter of 2014 to two executive officers in connection with the employees joining the Company. The weighted average exercise price for these options is calculated based on an exercise price of $6.04 for the options that vest on September 11, 2015, $6.64 for the options that vest on September 11, 2016 and $7.24 for the options that vest on September 11, 2017. | |||||||||||||

| Nonvested stock awards, including both restricted stock and restricted stock units, generally are nontransferable until vesting and the holders are entitled to receive dividends with respect to the nonvested shares. Prior to vesting, the grantees of restricted stock are entitled to vote the shares, but the grantees of restricted stock units are not entitled to vote the shares. Generally, nonvested stock awards vest in equal annual increments over the vesting period, which typically is three years for employees and one year for directors.

| 2006 MIP Performance Units | ||||||||||||||
| On June 19, 2012, seven senior officers of the Company were granted 154,264 Performance Units under the 2006 MIP, comprising all of the then remaining available awards under the 2006 MIP. The awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $1.2 million and vest ratably over three years. Upon vesting, the Performance Units will be settled by the issuance of Company common stock equal to 60% of the number of Performance Units being settled and the payment of cash in an amount equal to 40% of the fair market value of that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of Performance Units being settled. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an aggregate of 27,546 Performance Units were settled which resulted in the issuance of 16,526 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an aggregate of 52,334 Performance Units were settled which resulted in the issuance of 31,399 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling $0.1 million. Since the June 19, 2012 grant date to September 30, 2014, an aggregate of 121,210 Performance Units were settled by three current executive officers and three former executive officers, and 16,524 Performance Units were forfeited by one former executive officer and currently are available to be granted. Such settlements resulted in the issuance of 69,438 shares of common stock and cash payments totaling $0.3 million from the grant date through September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, a total of 16,530 Performance Units were outstanding, none of which were vested. | ||||||||||||||
| Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation charges. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include $3.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation charges. At September 30, 2014, there was $6.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, and Performance Unit awards which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. | ||||||||||||||

| Operating Segments and Related Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Beginning with the first quarter of 2014, we present the former New Services segment as two separate segments: Adjacent Services, which was formerly referred to as Profit Optimization services, and Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services. We now conduct our operations through the following four reportable segments: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recovery Audit Services – Americas represents recovery audit services (other than Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit services) provided in the United States of America (“U.S.”), Canada and Latin America. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific represents recovery audit services (other than Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit services) provided in Europe, Asia and the Pacific region. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjacent Services (formerly known as Profit Optimization services) represents data transformation and financial advisory services. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services represents recovery audit services for healthcare claims, which consist primarily of services provided under subcontracts related to the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor program. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Additionally, Corporate Support includes the unallocated portion of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses not specifically attributable to the four reportable segments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based upon revenue and measures of profit or loss we refer to as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted for depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and then further adjusted for unusual and other significant items that management views as distorting the operating results of the various segments from period to period. Such adjustments include restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, bargain purchase gains, acquisition-related charges and benefits (acquisition transaction costs, acquisition obligations classified as compensation, and fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration), tangible and intangible asset impairment charges, certain litigation costs and litigation settlements, certain severance charges and foreign currency transaction gains and losses on short-term intercompany balances viewed by management as individually or collectively significant. We do not have any inter-segment revenue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 has been revised to reflect the change in reportable segments. Segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands) is as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less from date of purchase. We place our temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, certain investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit or otherwise may not be covered by FDIC insurance. Some of our cash and cash equivalents are held at banks in jurisdictions outside the U.S. that have restrictions on transferring such assets outside of these countries on a temporary or permanent basis. Such restricted net assets are not significant in comparison to our consolidated net assets. | |
| Our cash and cash equivalents included short-term investments of approximately $12.5 million as of September 30, 2014 and $24.6 million as of December 31, 2013, of which approximately $6.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, were held at banks outside of the United States, primarily in Brazil and Canada. |

| Debt | ' |
| Debt | |
| On January 19, 2010, we entered into a four-year revolving credit and term loan agreement with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”). The SunTrust credit facility initially consisted of a $15.0 million committed revolving credit facility and a $15.0 million term loan. The SunTrust term loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million beginning in March 2010, and a final principal payment of $3.0 million due in January 2014 that we paid in December 2013. The SunTrust credit facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. | |
| On January 17, 2014, we entered into an amendment to the SunTrust credit facility that increased the committed revolving credit facility from $15.0 million to $25.0 million, lowered the applicable margin to a fixed rate of 1.75%, eliminated the provision limiting availability under the revolving credit facility based on eligible accounts receivable and extended the scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to January 16, 2015 (subject to earlier termination as provided therein). As of September 30, 2014, we had no outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust revolver. With the provision of a fixed applicable margin of 1.75% per the amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, the interest rate that would have applied at September 30, 2014 had any borrowings been outstanding was approximately 1.90%. We also must pay a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the SunTrust revolving credit facility. | |
| Prior to the January 2014 amendment to the SunTrust credit facility, amounts available under the SunTrust revolver were based on eligible accounts receivable and other factors. Interest on both the revolver and term loan was payable monthly and accrued at an index rate using the one-month LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin as determined by the loan agreement. The applicable interest rate margin varied from 2.25% per annum to 3.5% per annum, dependent on our consolidated leverage ratio, and was determined in accordance with a pricing grid under the SunTrust loan agreement. | |
| The SunTrust credit facility, as amended, requires as of the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company to have achieved Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) of at least $18.0 million for the immediately preceding four quarters. As of June 30, 2014, the Company's Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding four quarters was $17.0 million, and therefore the Company was not in compliance with the covenant, although there were no amounts outstanding under the credit facility as of that date. On August 7, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that provided a waiver of the non-compliance with the minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, reduced the minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA requirement to $12.0 million, modified the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio definition for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 by excluding certain payments, and reduced the maximum borrowing amount under the senior credit facility to $20.0 million. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in its SunTrust credit facility as of September 30, 2014. |

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
| We state cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair market value. The carrying values for receivables from clients, unbilled services, accounts payable, deferred revenue and other accrued liabilities reasonably approximate fair market value due to the nature of the financial instrument and the short term maturity of these items. | |
| We repaid the remaining balance of our bank debt in December 2013, and had no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2014. We consider the factors used in determining the fair value of debt to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs). | |
| We had no business acquisition obligations as of September 30, 2014 and $3.2 million of business acquisition obligations as of December 31, 2013 representing the fair value of deferred consideration and earn-out payments estimated to be due as of those dates. We determine the estimated fair values based on our projections of future revenue and profits or other factors used in the calculation of the ultimate payment to be made. The discount rate that we use to value the liability is based on specific business risk, cost of capital, and other factors. We consider these factors to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs). |

| Reported income tax expense in each period primarily results from taxes on the income of foreign subsidiaries. The effective tax rates generally differ from the expected tax rate due primarily to the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance on the domestic earnings and taxes on income of foreign subsidiaries. | |
| In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we partially offset these foreign income taxes by reversing $0.5 million of accruals made in prior years for uncertain tax positions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service in the U.S. and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. |

| On October 1, 2014, the Company sold certain assets related to its Chicago, Illinois-based consulting business that were previously acquired in November 2010 from TJG Holdings LLC to Salo, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company. The Company received an initial cash payment of $1.1 million in connection with the closing of the transaction and will receive payment for working capital transferred to the buyer. In addition, the Company may receive up to $0.9 million in earn-out payments based on certain revenue recognized by the buyer in relation to the acquired business during the year following the closing date. | |
| On October 24, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $20.0 million increase to the Company's stock repurchase program, increasing the total stock repurchase program since its inception to $40.0 million, and extended the duration of the program to December 31, 2015. From the February 2014 announcement of the Company’s current stock repurchase program through September 30, 2014, the Company has repurchased 3.1 million shares, or 10.4% of its common stock outstanding on the date of the announcement, for an aggregate cost of $20.0 million. |

| The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) of PRGX Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. | |
| Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “PRGX,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PRGX Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
| Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements, including the notes thereto, to conform to the presentation changes described below. | |
| Beginning with the second quarter of 2014, we reclassified certain information technology expenses within our Recovery Audit Services — Americas segment from Selling, General and Administrative expenses to Cost of Revenue to better reflect the nature of the work performed. | |
| Beginning with the first quarter of 2014, we present the former New Services segment as two separate segments: Adjacent Services, which was formerly referred to as Profit Optimization services, and Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services. We have revised the presentation of our operating segments and related information in Note D - Operating Segments and Related Information. Also beginning with the first quarter of 2014, we reclassified certain expenses within the Recovery Audit Services — Europe/Asia-Pacific segment from Cost of Revenue to Selling, General and Administrative expenses to better reflect costs associated with new business development efforts. | |

| A significant portion of the unbilled receivables presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) related to our Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services as of December 31, 2013 as we generally cannot invoice the prime contractors for whom we operate as a subcontractor under the Medicare RAC program until cash is collected by the prime contractors. These unbilled receivables, net of the related reserves, were $5.6 million as of December 31, 2013. There were no unbilled receivables related to the Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services segment as of September 30, 2014. | |

| New Accounting Standards | |
| A summary of the new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) that apply to PRGX is set forth below: | |
| FASB ASC Update No. 2014-15. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
| FASB ASC Update No. 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the transferring entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently undergoing an evaluation of the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. | |
| FASB ASC Update No. 2014-08. In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)—Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted for transactions that have not been disclosed in previously issued financial statements. We adopted ASU 2014-08 in the third quarter of 2014. The Company's disposal of assets on October 1, 2014 (see Note J) did not qualify as a discontinued operation as defined in ASU 2014-08. The impact of ASU 2014-08 on the Company's financial statements with respect to any future transaction will be dependent on whether any such transaction falls within the scope of the new guidance. |

As of June 30, 2014, the Company's Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding four quarters was $17.0 million, and therefore the Company was not in compliance with the covenant, although there were no amounts outstanding under the credit facility as of that date. On August 7, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that provided a waiver of the non-compliance with the minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, reduced the minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA requirement to $12.0 million, modified the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio definition for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 by excluding certain payments, and reduced the maximum borrowing amount under the senior credit facility to $20.0 million. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in its SunTrust credit facility as of September 30, 2014. | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' | ' |
