Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized and billed when the Company’s professionals deliver services. Conversion fees are recognized when one of the Company’s professionals accepts an offer of permanent employment from a client. Conversion fees were 0.5% of revenue for each of the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 3 0 , 201 5 . All costs of compensating the Company’s professionals are the responsibility of the Company and are included in direct cost of services. Client Reimbursements of “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses The Company recognizes all reimbursements received from clients for “out-of-pocket” expenses as revenue and all such expenses as direct cost of services. Reimbursements received from clients were $10.1 million, $10.6 million and $10.6 million for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 3 0 , 201 5 , respectively.  Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of subsidiaries outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period and the related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of comprehensive income or loss within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Per Share Information The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options. Under the treasury stock method, exercise proceeds include the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation. The following table summarizes the calculation of net income per share for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 3 0 , 201 5 (in thousands, except per share amounts):     For the Years Ended  May 27, May 28, May 30,  2017 2016 2015  Net income $ 18,651 $ 30,443 $ 27,508  Basic:  Weighted average shares 32,851 37,037 37,825  Diluted:  Weighted average shares 32,851 37,037 37,825  Potentially dilutive shares 620 571 423  Total dilutive shares 33,471 37,608 38,248  Net income per common share:  Basic $ 0.57 $ 0.82 $ 0.73  Dilutive $ 0.56 $ 0.81 $ 0.72  Anti-dilutive shares not included above 4,582 4,745 5,746   Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments. Short-Term Investments  The Company’s short-term investments were $25.0 million as of May 28 , 201 6 with original contractual maturities of between three months and one year. The Company had no short-term investments as of May 27, 2017. The Company had no investments with a maturity in excess of one year as of the end of either fiscal year 201 7 or 201 6 . The Company carries debt securities that it has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity at amortized cost.  The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:  Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.  The Company’s investments in commercial paper and U.S. Government Agency securities are measured using quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2). There were no unrealized holding gains or losses as of May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 . Short-term investments consist of the following (in thousands):    As of May 27, 2017 As of May 28, 2016  Cost Fair Value Cost Fair Value  Commercial paper $ - $ - $ 19,959 $ 19,959  U.S. Government Agency securities - - 4,998 4,998  $ - $ - $ 24,957 $ 24,957  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its clients’ failure to make required payments for services rendered. Management estimates this allowance based upon knowledge of the financial condition of the Company’s clients (which may not include knowledge of all significant events), review of historical receivable and reserve trends and other pertinent information. If the financial condition of the Company’s clients deteriorates or there is an unfavorable trend in aggregate receivable collections, additional allowances may be required. The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts (in thousands):    Currency  Beginning Charged to Rate (Write-offs)/ Ending  Balance Operations Changes Recoveries Balance  Years Ended:  May 30, 2015 $ 3,139 $ 212 $ (78) $ 18 $ 3,291  May 28, 2016 $ 3,291 $ 1,118 $ (16) $ (1,399) $ 2,994  May 27, 2017 $ 2,994 $ 458 $ (20) $ (915) $ 2,517  Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:   Building 30 years  Furniture 5 to 10 years  Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life of asset or term of lease  Computer, equipment and software 3 to 5 years Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed to operations as incurred, while renewals and major refurbishments are capitalized. Assessments of whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of property and equipment are periodically performed by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Management believes no permanent impairment has occurred. Goodwill Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of May 27, 2017 and will continue to test for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its impairment analysis by comparing its market capitalization to its book value throughout the fiscal year. For application of this methodology the Company determined that it operates as a single reporting unit resulting from the combination of its practice offices. No impairment was indicated as of May 27, 2017 . The Company has no other intangible assets. See Note 4 — Intangible Assets and Goodwill for a further description of the Company’s intangible assets. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases made via the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), based on estimated fair value at the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods. Stock options vest over four years and restricted stock award vesting is determined on an individual grant basis under the Company’s 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). The Company determines the estimated value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period for options that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates. See Note 10 — Stock Based Compensation Plans for further information on the 2014 Plan and stock-based compensation. Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During Current Fiscal Year  Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “ FASB ” ) issued ASU 2015-17. The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent portions. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. As permitted, the Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, current deferred taxes have been reclassified as noncurrent on the May 28, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet. This reclassification decreased current deferred tax assets by $8.4 million and increased noncurrent deferred tax assets by $8.4 million. The Company also netted noncurrent deferred tax liabilities of $5.0 million against noncurrent deferred tax assets.  Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16. This ASU eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for changes to provisional amounts initially recorded in a business combination. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined, including the effect of the change in provisional amount as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017 and will consider it during future business combinations.  Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15.This ASU provides guidance regarding management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017.  Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12. This ASU provides guidance requiring that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017. The Company does not currently have any performance based awards and thus the adoption has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is only required if the fair value, vesting conditions or classification (equity or liability) of the new award are different from the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (for the company, fiscal 2019). Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The future impact of ASU 2017-09 will be dependent on the nature of future stock award modifications. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which provides guidance regarding the goodwill impairment testing process. The new standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. If a company determines in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test that the carrying value of goodwill is greater than the fair value, an impairment for that difference must be recorded in the income statement, rather than proceeding to Step 2. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (for the Company, fiscal 2021). Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairments tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Based on the Company’s most recent annual goodwill impairment test completed in fiscal 2017, the Company expects no initial impact on adoption. Stat ement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which provides guidance designed to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Examples include cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (for the Company, fiscal 2019). Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Co mpensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. The new standard modifies several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (for the Company, fisca l 2018) . The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements but anticipates three potential impacts: a) added volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate from the change in accounting for income taxes; b) changes to its classification of excess tax benefits on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows; and c) change in the accounting for forfeitures, as the guidance allows the Company to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating the expected forfeitures over the course of the vesting period. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of this guidance and its preliminary assessments are subject to change. Lea ses (Topic 842): Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the existing guidance to require lessees to recognize operating lease obligations on their balance sheets by recording the rights and obligations created by those leases. The requirements are effective for financial statements for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (for the Company, fiscal 2020), and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and believes that it will have a significant impact on the Company’s reported balance sheet assets and liabilities. Under current accounting guidelines, the Company’s office leases are operating lease arrangements, in which rental payments are treated as operating expenses and there is no recognition of the arrangement on the balance sheet as an asset with related obligation to the lessor. Rev enue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) : In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede current revenue recognition guidance and is intended to improve and converge revenue recognition and related financial reporting requirements. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a number of steps to apply to achieve that core principle and requires additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which delays the required implementation date for the Company until fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal 2018. The Company has elected to adopt the guidance beginning in fiscal 2019. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or “cumulative effect” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. In addition, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (Topic 606), which provides clarifying guidance in certain areas and adds some practical expedients. The effective date for this ASU is the same as the effective date for ASU 2014-09. We intend to implement the standard using the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect (if any) of application recognized on that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance, including required disclosures, and based upon our current analysis, does not expect a significant impact on processes, systems or controls. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of this guidance and its preliminary assessments are subject to change.  Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

Long-Term Debt [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt	5. Long-Term Debt  In October 2016, the Company entered into a $120 million secured revolving credit facility (“Facility”) with Bank of America, consisting of (i) a $90 million revolving loan facility, which includes a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit (“Revolving Loan”), and (ii) a $30 million reducing revolving loan facility, any amounts of which may not be reborrowed after being repaid (“Reducing Revolving Loan”). The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. Our obligations under the Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by essentially all assets of the Company, Resources Connection LLC and their domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exclusions. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of either, at the Company’s option, (i) a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) defined in the Facility plus a margin of 1.25% or 1.50% or (ii) an alternate base rate, plus margin of 0.25% or 0.50% with the applicable margin depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The alternate base rate is the highest of (i) Bank of America’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.0% . The Company pays an unused commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Facility at a rate of 0.15% to 0.25% depending upon on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Facility expires October 17, 2021 .  In November 2016, the Company borrowed $58.0 million under the Facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of its modified Dutch auction tender offer. See Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity , for additional information about the tender offer. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company reduced the amount borrowed by $10.0 million. As of May 27, 2017, the outstanding balance on the Facility is $49.0 million, including $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Facility. There is $41.0 million remaining to borrow under the Revolving Loan and $30.0 million remaining under the Reducing Revolving Loan. As of May 27, 2017, the interest rate on the Company’s borrowings was 2.5% on one tranche of $24.0 million based on a 1-month LIBOR plus 1.5% and 2.65% on a second tranche of $24.0 million based on a 3-month LIBOR plus 1.5% .  The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants. Covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and make dispositions of assets. In addition, the Facility requires us to comply with financial covenants limiting the Company’s total funded debt, minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Facility as of May 27, 2017.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Facility, the lender may cease making loans, terminate the Facility and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Facility specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults.

The components of the net deferred tax asset consist of the following (in thousands):       As of As of  May 27, May 28,  2017 2016  Deferred tax assets:  Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 1,595 $ 1,685  Accrued compensation 4,235 4,337  Accrued expenses 3,755 3,163  Stock options and restricted stock 11,779 15,132  Foreign tax credit 397 557  Net operating losses 15,855 15,283  Property and equipment 1,222 1,550  State taxes 232 368  Gross deferred tax asset 39,070 42,075  Valuation allowance (15,971) (15,714)  Gross deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance 23,099 26,361  Deferred tax liabilities:  Goodwill and intangibles (23,406) (22,124)  Net deferred tax asset $ (307) $ 4,237 The Company had a net income tax receivable of $1.4 million and a net income tax payable of $0.4 million as of May 27, 2017 and May 28, 2016, respectively. The tax benefit associated with the exercise of nonqualified stock options and the disqualifying dispositions by employees of incentive stock options, restricted stock awards and shares issued under the Company’s ESPP reduced income taxes payable by $1.1 million for both of the years ended May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 , respectively.  The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $63. 5 million and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $0.4 million . The foreign tax credits will expire beginning in fiscal 2023. The following table summarizes the net operating loss expiration periods.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that all other remaining deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies.  Deferred income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of approximately $18.4 million from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries as of May 27, 2017 since these amounts are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. If the earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were to be distributed, management estimates that the income tax impact would be immaterial as the federal taxes would be offset with foreign tax credits. The following table summarizes the activity related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):     For the Years Ended  May 27, May 28,  2017 2016  Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 42 $ 42  Gross increases-tax positions in prior period - -  Gross decreases-tax positions in prior period - -  Gross increases-current period tax positions - -  Settlements - -  Lapse of statute of limitations - -  Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year $ 42 $ 42 T he Company’s total liability for unrecognized gross tax benefits was $42,000 as of both May 27, 2017 and May 28, 2016, which, if ultimately recognized , would impact the effective tax rate in future periods. The unrecognized tax benefits include long-term liabilities of $42,000 as of both May 27, 2017 and May 28, 2016; none of the unrecognized tax benefits are short-term liabilities due to the closing of the statute of limitations. The Company’s major income tax jurisdiction is the U.S., with federal statute of limitations remaining open for fiscal 2014 and thereafter. For states within the U.S. in which the Company does significant business, the Company remains subject to examination for fiscal 2013 and thereafter. Major foreign jurisdictions in Europe remain open for fiscal years ended 2012 and thereafter. The Company continues to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax as a part of its provision for income taxes. While the amount accrued during the current fiscal year is immaterial, the Company has provided $1,000 of accrued interest and penalties as a component of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Concentrations Of Credit Risk [Abstract]
Concentrations Of Credit Risk	8. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances, short-term investments in commercial paper and U.S. government agency securities with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such balances are in excess of federally insured limits. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables. However, concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different business and geographic areas. The Company monitors its exposure to credit losses and maintains an allowance for anticipated losses. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of one or more of the Company’s customers could result in an increase in the allowance for anticipated losses. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 .

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	9. Stockholders’ Equity The Company has 70,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a $0.01 par value. At May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 , there were 29 , 662,000 and 3 6 ,2 29 ,000 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, all of which provide the holders with voting rights. The Company has authorized for issuance 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.01 par value per share. The board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the related rights and preferences. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 . Tender Offer for Common Stock In October 2016, the Company commenced a modified Dutch auction tender offer to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock at a price not greater than $16.00 per share and not less than $13.50 per share. In November 2016, the Company exercised its right to increase the size of the tender offer by up to 2.0% of its outstanding common stock. The tender offer period expired on November 15, 2016 and on November 22, 2016, the Company purchased 6,515,264 shares of its common stock at a per share price of $16.00 , excluding transaction costs, for approximately $104.2 million. These shares are currently held as treasury stock. The tender offer was funded through borrowings of $58.0 million under the Facility and the remainder with cash on hand. Stock Repurchase Program The Company’s board of directors has periodically approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase, at the discretion of the Company’s senior executives, of the Company’s common stock for a designated aggregate dollar limit. The current program was authorized in July 2015 (the “July 2015 program”) and set an aggregate dollar limit not to exceed $150 million. Use of the funds authorized under the July 2015 program commenced in February 2016 upon the exhaustion of the previous stock repurchase program of $150 million approved by the Company’s board of directors in April 2011. Repurchases under the program may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and may be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. During the years ended May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 , the Company purchased on the open market approximately 0.8 million and 1.8 million shares of its common stock, respectively, at an average price of $15.99 and $15.32 per share, respectively, for approximately $13.5 million and $ 28.1 million, respectively. As of May 27, 2017 , approximately $125. 1 million remains available for future repurchases of our common stock under the July 2015 program. Quarterly Dividend The Company’s board of directors has established a quarterly dividend, subject to quarterly board of directors’ approval. On April 2 0 , 201 7 , the board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share of our common stock. The dividend, payable on June 15, 2017 , was accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 27, 2017 for approximately $3.2 million. Continuation of the quarterly dividend will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business condition, contractual restrictions contained in our current credit agreements and other agreements, and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	1 0 . Stock - Based Compensation Plans 2014 Performance Incentive Plan On October 23, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan replaced the Resources Connection, Inc. 2004 Performance Incentive Plan and the 1999 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Prior Stock Plans”). The effective date of the 2014 Plan is September 3, 2014 and, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, will terminate on September 2, 2024. Under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the Company’s board of directors or one or more committees appointed by the board of directors will administer the 2014 Plan. The board of directors has delegated general administrative authority for the 2014 Plan to the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The administrator of the 2014 Plan has broad authority to, among other things, select participants and determine the type(s) of award(s) that they are to receive, and determine the number of shares that are to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, including the price (if any) to be paid for the shares or the award. Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Plan include officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company, and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2014 Plan equals the sum of: (1) 2,400,000 shares, plus (2) the number of shares subject to stock options granted under the Prior Stock Plans and outstanding as of September 3, 2014 (the date at which the Prior Stock Plans terminated), which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after that date without being exercised, plus (3) the number of shares subject to restricted stock, restricted stock units and other full-value awards granted under the Prior Stock Plans that were outstanding and unvested as of September 3, 2014, which are forfeited, terminated, cancelled, or otherwise reacquired after that date without having become vested. As of May 27, 2017 , 2,767,000 shares were available for award grant purposes under the 2014 Plan, subject to future increases as described in (2) and (3) above and subject to increase as then-outstanding awards expire or terminate without having become vested or exercised, as applicable. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2014 Plan include stock options, restricted stock, stock bonuses, performance stock, stock units, phantom stock and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company’s common stock or units of the Company’s common stock, as well as certain cash bonus awards. Under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the option price for the incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and nonqualified stock options (“NQSO”) may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. For ISOs, the exercise price per share may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the grant date for any individual possessing more than 10% of the total outstanding stock of the Company. Stock options granted under the 2014 Plan and the Prior Stock Plans generally become exercisable over periods of one to four years and expire not more than ten years from the date of grant. The Company predominantly grants NQSOs to employees in the U.S. The Company granted 127,720 and 50,354 shares of restricted stock during the fiscal years ended May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 , respectively.  A summary of the share-based award activity under the 2014 Plan and the Prior Stock Plans follows (amounts in thousands, except weighted average exercise price):      Share-Based Number of Weighted Weighted Average  Awards Shares Average Remaining Aggregate  Available Under Exercise Contractual Life Intrinsic  for Grant Option Price (in years) Value  Options outstanding at May 28, 2016 3,206 7,347 $ 16.08 5.41 $ 10,109  Granted, at fair market value (1,212) 1,212 14.52  Restricted stock (1) (319) - -  Exercised - (305) 12.59  Forfeited (2) 267 (265) 14.18  Expired 825 (825) 29.77  Options outstanding at May 27, 2017 2,767 7,164 $ 15.08 5.56 $ 1,696  Exercisable at May 27, 2017 4,608 $ 15.59 4.04 $ 1,173  Vested and expected to vest at May 27, 2017 (3) 6,962 $ 15.09 5.46 $ 1,696  (1) Amounts represent restricted shares granted. Share-based awards available for grant are reduced by 2.5 shares for each share awarded as stock grants from the 2014 Plan. (2) Amounts represent both stock options and restricted share awards forfeited. (3) The expected to vest options are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to options not yet vested. . The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $12.65 as of May 2 6 , 201 7 (the last actual trading day of fiscal 201 7 ), which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total pre-tax intrinsic value related to stock options exercised during the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 was $1.1 million, $1.8 million and $1.2 million , respectively. The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 was $3.6 million, $4.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Valuation and Expense Information for Stock Based Compensation Plans The following table summarizes the impact of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and consists of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, ESPP stock purchase rights and restricted stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):     For the Years Ended  May 27, May 28, May 30,  2017 2016 2015  Income before income taxes $ (6,068) $ (6,280) $ (5,989)  Net income $ (3,962) $ (4,159) $ (3,823)  Net income per share:  Basic $ (0.12) $ (0.11) $ (0.10)  Diluted $ (0.12) $ (0.11) $ (0.10)  The weighted average estimated fair value per share of employee stock options granted during the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 was $3.61 , $4.54 and $3.93 , respectively, using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:       For the Years Ended  May 27, 2017 May 28, 2016 May 30, 2015  Expected volatility 34.6% - 38.4% 35% - 40.5% 36.2% - 42.1%  Risk-free interest rate 1.3% - 1.6% 1.7% - 2.0% 1.7% - 2.2%  Expected dividends 3.0% 2.2% 1.9% - 2.1%  Expected life 5.6 - 8.1 years 5.6 - 7.7 years 5.5 - 7.5 years As of May 27, 2017 , there was $7.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested employee stock options granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 31 months. Stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 was $ 6. 1 million, $6. 3 million and $ 6.0 million, respectively; this consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, employee stock purchases made via the Company’s ESPP and issuances of restricted stock. Also included in the stock-based compensation expense for the year ended May 28, 2016 was approximately $900,000 related to the accelerated vesting of options held by Donald Murray in connection with his transition from Executive Chairman to Chairman. Stock-based compensation expense in the tables above includes compensation for restricted shares of $802,000 , $598,000 and $515,000 for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 , respectively. The Company granted 127,720 , 50,354 and 49,840 shares of restricted stock for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 , respectively. There were 43,261 and 41,796 restricted shares that vested in fiscal 201 7 and 201 6 , respectively. There were 189,015 , 105,925 and 97,938 unvested restricted shares as of May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 , respectively. At May 27, 2017 , there was approximately $2.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 32 months . Excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation expense are recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital and tax shortfalls are recognized as income tax expense unless there are excess tax benefits from previous equity awards to which the shortfall can be offset. On the adoption date of the required accounting for stock-based compensation expense, the Company calculated the amount of eligible excess tax benefits available to offset future tax shortfalls in accordance with the long-form method. The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of stock options and restricted stock units that are expected to vest, rather than recording forfeitures when they occur. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from that estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.   Employee Stock Purchase Plan On October 23, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP to extend the term of the ESPP through October 16, 2024, and to increase the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP by an additional 1.5 million shares. The Company’s ESPP allows qualified employees (as defined in the ESPP) to purchase designated shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of common stock at the beginning or end of each semi-annual stock purchase period. After approval of the amendment, a total of 5.9 million shares of common stock may be issued under the ESPP. The Company issued 359,000 , 325,000 and 337,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the ESPP for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 30 , 201 5 , respectively. There are 918,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP as of May 27, 2017 .

Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including during any rent holiday periods. The Company leases approximately 18,200 square feet of the approximately 56,200 square foot Company owned building located in Irvine, California to independent third parties and has operating lease agreements for sub-let space with independent third parties expiring through fiscal 2025. Under the terms of these operating lease agreements, rental income from such third party leases is expected to be $245,000 , $201,000 , $207,000 , $213,000 and $219,000 in fiscal 2018 through 2022, respectively and $536,000 thereafter . Employment Agreements The Company ’s employment agreement with its president and chief executive officer, Kate W. Duchene, has an initial term of three years ending on December 19, 2019 and renew s for one -year periods commencing thereafter unless the Company or M s . Duchene provides the other party written notice within 60 days of the then-current expiration date that the agreement will not be extended. The employment agreement provides M s . Duchene with a specified severance amount depending on whether her separation from the Company is with or without good cause as defined in the agreement. The Company also has employment agreements with certain key members of management ; these agreements automatically renew for additional one year periods unless the Company or the named executive provides the other party written notice no later than 60 days prior to the then-current expiration date that the agreement will not be extended. These agreements provide those employees with a specified severance amount depending on whether the employee is terminated with or without good cause as defined in the applicable agreement. Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in certain legal matters in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters, if disposed of unfavorably, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Summary Of Significant Accoun23

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	May 27, 2017
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation And Principles Of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized and billed when the Company’s professionals deliver services. Conversion fees are recognized when one of the Company’s professionals accepts an offer of permanent employment from a client. Conversion fees were 0.5% of revenue for each of the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 3 0 , 201 5 . All costs of compensating the Company’s professionals are the responsibility of the Company and are included in direct cost of services.
Client Reimbursements Of "Out-Of-Pocket" Expenses	Client Reimbursements of “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses The Company recognizes all reimbursements received from clients for “out-of-pocket” expenses as revenue and all such expenses as direct cost of services. Reimbursements received from clients were $10.1 million, $10.6 million and $10.6 million for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 3 0 , 201 5 , respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of subsidiaries outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period and the related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of comprehensive income or loss within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Per Share Information	Per Share Information The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options. Under the treasury stock method, exercise proceeds include the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation. The following table summarizes the calculation of net income per share for the years ended May 27, 2017 , May 28 , 201 6 and May 3 0 , 201 5 (in thousands, except per share amounts):     For the Years Ended  May 27, May 28, May 30,  2017 2016 2015  Net income $ 18,651 $ 30,443 $ 27,508  Basic:  Weighted average shares 32,851 37,037 37,825  Diluted:  Weighted average shares 32,851 37,037 37,825  Potentially dilutive shares 620 571 423  Total dilutive shares 33,471 37,608 38,248  Net income per common share:  Basic $ 0.57 $ 0.82 $ 0.73  Dilutive $ 0.56 $ 0.81 $ 0.72  Anti-dilutive shares not included above 4,582 4,745 5,746 
Cash And Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Short-Term Investments	Short-Term Investments  The Company’s short-term investments were $25.0 million as of May 28 , 201 6 with original contractual maturities of between three months and one year. The Company had no short-term investments as of May 27, 2017. The Company had no investments with a maturity in excess of one year as of the end of either fiscal year 201 7 or 201 6 . The Company carries debt securities that it has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity at amortized cost.  The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:  Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.  The Company’s investments in commercial paper and U.S. Government Agency securities are measured using quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2). There were no unrealized holding gains or losses as of May 27, 2017 and May 28 , 201 6 . Short-term investments consist of the following (in thousands):    As of May 27, 2017 As of May 28, 2016  Cost Fair Value Cost Fair Value  Commercial paper $ - $ - $ 19,959 $ 19,959  U.S. Government Agency securities - - 4,998 4,998  $ - $ - $ 24,957 $ 24,957 
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its clients’ failure to make required payments for services rendered. Management estimates this allowance based upon knowledge of the financial condition of the Company’s clients (which may not include knowledge of all significant events), review of historical receivable and reserve trends and other pertinent information. If the financial condition of the Company’s clients deteriorates or there is an unfavorable trend in aggregate receivable collections, additional allowances may be required. The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts (in thousands):    Currency  Beginning Charged to Rate (Write-offs)/ Ending  Balance Operations Changes Recoveries Balance  Years Ended:  May 30, 2015 $ 3,139 $ 212 $ (78) $ 18 $ 3,291  May 28, 2016 $ 3,291 $ 1,118 $ (16) $ (1,399) $ 2,994  May 27, 2017 $ 2,994 $ 458 $ (20) $ (915) $ 2,517 
Property And Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:   Building 30 years  Furniture 5 to 10 years  Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life of asset or term of lease  Computer, equipment and software 3 to 5 years Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed to operations as incurred, while renewals and major refurbishments are capitalized. Assessments of whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of property and equipment are periodically performed by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Management believes no permanent impairment has occurred.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of May 27, 2017 and will continue to test for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its impairment analysis by comparing its market capitalization to its book value throughout the fiscal year. For application of this methodology the Company determined that it operates as a single reporting unit resulting from the combination of its practice offices. No impairment was indicated as of May 27, 2017 . The Company has no other intangible assets. See Note 4 — Intangible Assets and Goodwill for a further description of the Company’s intangible assets.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases made via the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), based on estimated fair value at the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods. Stock options vest over four years and restricted stock award vesting is determined on an individual grant basis under the Company’s 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). The Company determines the estimated value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period for options that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates. See Note 10 — Stock Based Compensation Plans for further information on the 2014 Plan and stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During Current Fiscal Year  Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “ FASB ” ) issued ASU 2015-17. The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent portions. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. As permitted, the Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, current deferred taxes have been reclassified as noncurrent on the May 28, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet. This reclassification decreased current deferred tax assets by $8.4 million and increased noncurrent deferred tax assets by $8.4 million. The Company also netted noncurrent deferred tax liabilities of $5.0 million against noncurrent deferred tax assets.  Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16. This ASU eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for changes to provisional amounts initially recorded in a business combination. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined, including the effect of the change in provisional amount as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017 and will consider it during future business combinations.  Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15.This ASU provides guidance regarding management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017.  Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12. This ASU provides guidance requiring that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017. The Company does not currently have any performance based awards and thus the adoption has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is only required if the fair value, vesting conditions or classification (equity or liability) of the new award are different from the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (for the company, fiscal 2019). Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The future impact of ASU 2017-09 will be dependent on the nature of future stock award modifications. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which provides guidance regarding the goodwill impairment testing process. The new standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. If a company determines in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test that the carrying value of goodwill is greater than the fair value, an impairment for that difference must be recorded in the income statement, rather than proceeding to Step 2. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (for the Company, fiscal 2021). Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairments tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Based on the Company’s most recent annual goodwill impairment test completed in fiscal 2017, the Company expects no initial impact on adoption. Stat ement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which provides guidance designed to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Examples include cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (for the Company, fiscal 2019). Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Co mpensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. The new standard modifies several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The new standard is effective for financial statements for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (for the Company, fisca l 2018) . The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements but anticipates three potential impacts: a) added volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate from the change in accounting for income taxes; b) changes to its classification of excess tax benefits on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows; and c) change in the accounting for forfeitures, as the guidance allows the Company to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating the expected forfeitures over the course of the vesting period. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of this guidance and its preliminary assessments are subject to change. Lea ses (Topic 842): Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the existing guidance to require lessees to recognize operating lease obligations on their balance sheets by recording the rights and obligations created by those leases. The requirements are effective for financial statements for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (for the Company, fiscal 2020), and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and believes that it will have a significant impact on the Company’s reported balance sheet assets and liabilities. Under current accounting guidelines, the Company’s office leases are operating lease arrangements, in which rental payments are treated as operating expenses and there is no recognition of the arrangement on the balance sheet as an asset with related obligation to the lessor. Rev enue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) : In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede current revenue recognition guidance and is intended to improve and converge revenue recognition and related financial reporting requirements. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a number of steps to apply to achieve that core principle and requires additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which delays the required implementation date for the Company until fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal 2018. The Company has elected to adopt the guidance beginning in fiscal 2019. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or “cumulative effect” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. In addition, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (Topic 606), which provides clarifying guidance in certain areas and adds some practical expedients. The effective date for this ASU is the same as the effective date for ASU 2014-09. We intend to implement the standard using the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect (if any) of application recognized on that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance, including required disclosures, and based upon our current analysis, does not expect a significant impact on processes, systems or controls. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of this guidance and its preliminary assessments are subject to change.  Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Use Of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
