Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Company Overview Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. (“Cornerstone” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 24, 1999 in the state of Delaware and began its principal operations in November 1999 . The Company is a leading global provider of talent management solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”). The Company’s Enterprise and Mid-Market solution is a unified cloud-based platform that addresses critical talent needs throughout the entire employee lifecycle, from recruitment, onboarding, training and collaboration, to performance management, compensation, succession planning and analytics. The Company’s solutions are designed to enable organizations to meet the challenges they face in empowering and maximizing the productivity of their human capital. These challenges include hiring and developing employees throughout their careers, engaging all employees effectively, improving business execution, cultivating future leaders, and integrating with an organization’s extended enterprise of clients, vendors and distributors by delivering training, certification programs and other content. The Company’s management has determined that the Company operates in one segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregate and consolidated basis to the Company’s chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Office Locations The Company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California and has offices in Amsterdam, Auckland, Bangalore, Düsseldorf, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Mumbai, Munich, New Delhi, Paris, San Francisco, São Paulo, Stockholm, Sunnyvale, Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 , for any other interim period or for any other future year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The Company follows the same accounting policies for interim reporting. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standards update (“ASU”) to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this accounting guidance as of March 31, 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, the Company reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.7 million and $3.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, from Other assets, net and reflected them as a reduction in Convertible notes, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update, which amends a number of aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize operating leases with a term greater than one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update that provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update that provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date for the new standard. As a result, the guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

The Company also entered into note hedge transactions (“Note Hedges”) in connection with the convertible notes with respect to its common stock to minimize the impact of potential economic dilution upon conversion of the convertible notes. The Note Hedges were outstanding as of June 30, 2016 . Since the beneficial impact of the Note Hedges was anti-dilutive, they were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

These investments are subject to periodic impairment reviews and are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company determined there were no impairments of these investments. In June 2014, the Company invested $0.5 million in a debt security of a privately-held company.

Fair Value Of Financial Instrum

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. The fair value hierarchy is based on the following three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last one is considered unobservable: • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included the following as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands): June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash equivalents $ 75,498 $ 75,498 $ — $ — $ 61,986 $ 61,986 $ — $ — Corporate bonds 44,975 — 44,975 — 56,109 — 56,109 — Agency bonds 50,042 — 50,042 — 85,461 — 85,461 — U.S. treasury securities 73,856 — 73,856 — 57,908 — 57,908 — Commercial paper 14,752 — 14,752 — — — — — Strategic investments — — — — 150 — — 150 $ 259,123 $ 75,498 $ 183,625 $ — $ 261,614 $ 61,986 $ 199,478 $ 150 At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , cash equivalents of $75.5 million and $62.0 million , respectively, consisted of money market funds with original maturity dates of three months or less backed by U.S. Treasury bills. As of June 30, 2016 , corporate bonds, agency bonds, U.S. treasury securities and commercial paper were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The bonds were valued using information obtained from pricing services, which obtained quoted market prices from a variety of industry data providers, security master files from large financial institutions, and other third-party sources. The Company performed supplemental analysis to validate information obtained from its pricing services. As of June 30, 2016 , no adjustments were made to such pricing information. Strategic Investments The Company’s investments in privately-held companies are shown in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Long-term investments and accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Purchases of investments. The strategic investments classified as debt securities are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as they have been valued using significant unobservable inputs or data from various valuation approaches and is measured each reporting period at fair value. The following table presents a reconciliation of the investment in debt securities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2016 (in thousands): Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 150 Change in value (150 ) Balance as of June 30, 2016 $ — Senior Convertible Notes The Company’s senior convertible notes are shown in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their original issuance value, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, and are not re-measured to fair value each period. The approximate fair value of the Company’s convertible notes as of June 30, 2016 was $259.8 million . The fair value of the convertible notes was estimated on the basis of quoted market prices, which, due to limited trading activity, are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	DEBT Senior Convertible Notes In 2013, the Company issued senior convertible notes (the “Notes”) raising gross proceeds of $253.0 million . The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated June 17, 2013 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes mature on July 1, 2018, unless earlier repurchased or converted, and bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2014. The Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 18.5046 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $54.04 per share, subject to adjustment for anti-dilutive issuances, voluntary increases in the conversion rate and make-whole adjustments upon a fundamental change. A fundamental change includes a change in control, delisting of the Company’s common stock and a liquidation of the Company. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver cash for the principal amount, and the Company has the right to settle any amounts in excess of the principal in cash or shares. Prior to April 1, 2018, the Notes are only convertible upon satisfaction of certain conditions as follows: • during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2013, if the last reported sale price of common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; • during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of that five consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or • upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as defined in the Indenture. Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes at any time on or after April 1, 2018, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon a fundamental change and events of default, including non-payment of interest or principal and other obligations under the Indenture. In accounting for the Notes at issuance, the Company separated the Notes into debt and equity components pursuant to the accounting standards for convertible debt instruments that may be fully or partially settled in cash upon conversion. The fair value of the debt component was estimated using an interest rate for nonconvertible debt, with terms similar to the Notes, excluding the conversion feature. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The excess of the principal amount of the Notes over the fair value of the debt component was recorded as a debt discount and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the interest method. The amount recorded to additional paid-in capital is not to be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. Upon issuance of the $253.0 million of Notes, the Company recorded $214.3 million to debt and $38.7 million to additional paid-in capital for the debt discount. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $7.3 million related to the issuance of the Notes. In accounting for these costs, the Company allocated the costs to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to such components. Transaction costs allocated to the debt component of $6.2 million are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The transaction costs allocated to the equity component of $1.1 million were recorded to additional paid-in capital. The net carrying amount of the liability component of the Notes as of June 30, 2016 consists of the following (in thousands): Principal amount $ 253,000 Unamortized debt discount (16,532 ) Net carrying amount before unamortized debt issuance costs 236,468 Unamortized debt issuance costs (2,654 ) Net carrying amount $ 233,814 The effective interest rate of the liability component of the Notes is 5.4% . This interest rate was based on the interest rates of similar liabilities at the time of issuance that did not have associated convertible features. The following table presents the interest expense recognized related to the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Contractual interest expense at 1.5% per annum $ 949 $ 949 $ 1,898 $ 1,898 Amortization of debt issuance costs 314 299 624 594 Accretion of debt discount 1,954 1,860 3,885 3,698 Total $ 3,217 $ 3,108 $ 6,407 $ 6,190 The net proceeds from the Notes were approximately $246.0 million after payment of the initial purchasers’ offering expenses. The Company used approximately $49.5 million of the net proceeds of the Notes offering to pay the cost of the Note Hedges described below, which was partially offset by $23.2 million of the proceeds from the Company’s sale of the Warrants also described below. Note Hedges Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into note hedges (the “Note Hedges”) with certain bank counterparties, with respect to its common stock. The Company paid $49.5 million for the Note Hedges. The Note Hedges cover approximately 4.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $54.04 per share, and are exercisable by the Company upon conversion of the Notes. The Note Hedges will expire upon the maturity of the Notes. The Note Hedges are intended to reduce the potential economic dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise is greater than the conversion price of the Notes. Warrants Separately and concurrently with the entry by the Company into the Note Hedges, the Company entered into warrant transactions, whereby it sold warrants to the same bank counterparties as the Note Hedges to acquire up to 4.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $80.06 per share (the “Warrants”), subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Company received proceeds of $23.2 million from the sale of the Warrants. The Warrants expire at various dates during 2018 and 2019. If the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants will reduce diluted earnings per share to the extent that the calculation does not have an anti-dilutive effect. The amounts paid and received for the Note Hedges and the Warrants have been recorded in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the Note Hedges and the Warrants are not remeasured through earnings each reporting period.

The aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.8 million . Restricted Stock Units The Company granted restricted stock units covering 0.7 million shares of its common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2016 . At June 30, 2016 , there were 2.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units. Unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of the Company’s common stock subject to unvested restricted stock units was $73.5 million at June 30, 2016 , which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 2.9 years . Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units In July 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the issuance of performance-based restricted stock units to an executive officer of the Company. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the vesting of this performance-based restricted stock award is based upon (a) the performance of the Company’s stock price relative to a certain independent market index and (b) the recipient continuing to provide service through the end of the three year term of the award. Achievement of the maximum performance level would result in the issuance of 60,900 shares. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of this award which factors in the probability of the award vesting. The grant date fair value of the award was $1.8 million , which will be recognized ratably over the three year term of the award. In December 2014, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of performance-based restricted stock units to certain executives of the Company. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the vesting of these performance-based restricted stock unit awards is based upon (a) the performance of the Company’s stock price relative to a certain independent market index, (b) the achievement of the Company’s revenue guidance for each of fiscal year 2015 and 2016 and (c) the recipient continuing to provide services to the Company through the end of the three year term of the award. The Company finalizes its revenue guidance in February of each year, thus a grant date was established in February of 2015 and February of 2016 for each of the two tranches of the award related to that year’s revenue guidance. Each tranche is treated as a separate grant and recognized from the date the revenue guidance is determined over the remaining portion of the original three year term of the award. Achievement of the maximum performance level would result in the issuance of an aggregate of 1,070,000 shares. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value each tranche of the awards for which a grant date has been established. The valuation factors in the probability of achieving the performance of the Company’s stock price relative to the market index. The aggregate grant date fair value of the first half of the above awards was $9.9 million , which was subsequently decreased to $5.0 million based on the Company’s performance in relation to the revenue guidance for fiscal year 2015. The decrease in value was a result of the maximum level of shares decreasing from an aggregate of 1,070,000 shares to an aggregate of 802,500 shares, representing a decrease from 535,000 shares to 267,500 shares for the first half of the awards and the maximum level achievable of 535,000 shares remaining for the second half of the awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company determined that the aggregate grant date fair value of the second half of the awards was $3.6 million , which will be evaluated each reporting period to determine the Company’s performance in relation to the revenue guidance for fiscal year 2016. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , an aggregate of 30,000 shares were forfeited as a result of the retirement of an executive officer of the Company. The Company recognized compensation expense related to these performance-based awards of $0.6 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested performance-based restricted stock units was $4.6 million at June 30, 2016 , based on the probable performance target at that date, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.4 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Company’s 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), eligible employees are granted the right to purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant or 85% of the fair market value at the time of exercise. The right to purchase shares is granted twice yearly for six month offering periods in June and December and exercisable on or about the succeeding December and June, respectively, on each year. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock units, the ESPP and performance-based restricted stock units is included in the following line items in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Cost of revenue $ 1,170 $ 845 $ 2,262 $ 1,663 Sales and marketing expense 6,266 5,500 12,445 10,197 Research and development expense 1,846 1,344 3,633 2,512 General and administrative expense 3,726 2,095 7,664 4,129 Total $ 13,008 $ 9,784 $ 26,004 $ 18,501

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax provision was approximately $0.1 million and $0.7 million with an effective income tax rate of (0.8)% and (1.9)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets and foreign income taxes. The income tax provision is related to foreign and certain state income taxes. Given the Company’s historical losses, it has not recorded a provision, except for state minimum taxes and withholding taxes, for United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Brazil income taxes as the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets for each of these countries and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, state income tax and various foreign income taxes. The Company is subject to examination for the 2012 through 2015 tax years for its U.S. federal income tax returns. State income tax returns are subject to examination for the 2011 through 2015 tax years. The Company is subject to examination by various foreign jurisdictions for years after 2007. The Company does not reasonably expect significant changes to its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees and Indemnifications The Company has made guarantees and indemnities under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party in relation to certain transactions, including revenue transactions in the ordinary course of business. The Company is obligated to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. However, the Company has a directors and officers insurance policy that may reduce its exposure in certain circumstances and may enable it to recover a portion of future amounts that may be payable, if any. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and, in many cases, is indefinite but subject to statutes of limitations. To date, the Company has made no payments related to these guarantees and indemnities. The Company estimates the fair value of its indemnification obligations as insignificant based on this history and the Company’s insurance coverage and therefore has not recorded any liability for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease Commitments During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company entered into various operating lease agreements with obligations of approximately $0.4 million for 2016 and $0.5 million for 2017 . Other Commitments In February 2016, the Company amended an agreement with one of its third-party service providers, whereby the Company committed to provide certain dollar amounts of professional service projects related to implementation and other services for clients of the Company. The amendment increased the contractual commitment amount by $0.5 million in each of 2016 and 2017. Litigation The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. If the Company determines that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable, the Company will record a liability. The Company has determined that it does not have a potential liability related to any legal proceedings or claims that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Compensation Committee granted performance-based restricted stock units during July 2016. Achievement of the probable target level would result in the issuance of 166,600 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the vesting of the restricted stock units and achievement of the maximum target would result in the issuance of 499,800 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the vesting of the restricted stock units. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest fully at the end of three years . During July and August 2016, the Compensation Committee also granted restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 821,480 shares of the Company’s common stock which generally vest annually over four years.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 , for any other interim period or for any other future year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The Company follows the same accounting policies for interim reporting. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standards update (“ASU”) to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this accounting guidance as of March 31, 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, the Company reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.7 million and $3.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, from Other assets, net and reflected them as a reduction in Convertible notes, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update, which amends a number of aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize operating leases with a term greater than one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update that provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update that provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date for the new standard. As a result, the guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.
