	The Company’s primary sources of revenues are management fees, which are based on the amount of the Company’s assets under management, and incentive income, which is based on the investment performance of its funds. Accordingly, for any given period, the Company’s revenues will be driven by the combination of assets under management and the investment performance of the Och-Ziff funds.
	The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through its one reportable segment, the Och-Ziff Funds segment, which provides asset management services to its multi-strategy funds, credit funds, CLOs and other alternative investment vehicles. The Company’s Other Operations are primarily comprised of its real estate business, which provides asset management services to its real estate funds. The businesses included in the Company’s Other Operations do not meet the thresholds of reportable business segments under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
	The Company generates substantially all of its revenues in the United States. The liability of the Company’s Class A Shareholders is limited to the extent of their capital contributions.
	References to the Company’s “executive managing directors” refer to the current limited partners of OZ Management LP, OZ Advisors LP and OZ Advisors II LP (collectively with their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Och-Ziff Operating Group”) other than the Ziffs and the Company’s intermediate holding companies, including the Company’s founder, Mr. Daniel S. Och, and, except where the context requires otherwise, include certain limited partners who are no longer active in the business of the Company. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Och-Ziff Operating Group. References to the “Ziffs” refer collectively to Ziff Investors Partnership, L.P. II and certain of its affiliates and control persons. References to the Company’s “intermediate holding companies” refer, collectively, to Och-Ziff Holding Corporation (“Och-Ziff Corp”) and Och-Ziff Holding LLC, both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant.
	Class A Share Offerings
	In November 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 36,000,000 Class A Shares and a private offering of 38,138,571 million Class A Shares to DIC Sahir, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai International Capital LLC (collectively, the “2007 Offerings”). The Company used the net proceeds from the 2007 Offerings to acquire a 19.2% interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group from the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs, who collectively held all of the interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group prior to the 2007 Offerings. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group had increased to approximately 35.9%. See Note 3 for additional information regarding changes in the Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group.
	In November 2011, the Company completed a public offering of 33,333,333 million Class A Shares (the “2011 Offering”) for $7.50 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of $238.7 million. The Company incurred $1.7 million of expenses in connection with the 2011 Offering. The Company used the net proceeds from the 2011 Offering to repurchase and retire a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the term loan entered into in July 2007 (the “2007 Term Loan”). See Note 9 for additional information.
	Reorganization
	Prior to the 2007 Offerings, the Company completed a reorganization of its business (the “Reorganization”). As part of the Reorganization, Mr. Och’s equity interests, the other executive managing directors’ non-equity interests and the Ziffs’ profit sharing interests were reclassified as Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units. As a result of these reclassifications, the Company incurred significant non-cash Reorganization expenses. See Note 10 for additional information regarding these Reorganization expenses.
	Company Structure
	The Registrant is a holding company that, through its intermediate holding companies, holds equity ownership interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group. The Registrant has issued and outstanding the following share classes:
	•	Class A Shares—Class A Shares are publicly traded and entitle the holders thereof to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The holders of Class A Shares are entitled to any distributions declared by the Registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
	•	Class B Shares—Class B Shares are held by the Company’s executive managing directors. These shares are not publicly traded but rather entitle the executive managing directors to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. These shares do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the executive managing directors participate in the related economics of the Och-Ziff Operating Group through their direct ownership of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units as discussed below. The executive managing directors granted to the Class B Shareholder Committee, currently consisting solely of Mr. Och, an irrevocable proxy to vote their Class B Shares in concert. The Ziffs do not hold any Class B Shares.
	The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Och-Ziff Operating Group. The following Och-Ziff Operating Group Units represent all of the equity interests of the Och-Ziff Operating Group:
	•	Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units—The Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units are held by the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs. Once vested, these units may be exchanged on a one-to-one basis for Class A Shares, subject to minimum ownership requirements and transfer restrictions.
	•	Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units—The Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units are held by the Company’s intermediate holding companies. These units represent the Company’s economic interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group.
	The Company issues its executive managing directors a number of Class B Shares of the Registrant equal to the number of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units held by each executive managing director. Upon the exchange of an Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit for a Class A Share by an executive managing director, the corresponding Class B Share is canceled and an Och-Ziff Operating Group B Unit is issued to the intermediate holding companies of the Company.
	The Company has also issued Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units to executive managing directors subsequent to the IPO. Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units are not considered equity for GAAP purposes, and therefore distributions made to holders of these units are recognized within compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units receive distributions on a pro rata basis with the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units and the Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units. An Och-Ziff Operating Group D Unit converts into an Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit to the extent the Company determines that it has become economically equivalent to an Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit, at which point it is considered a grant of equity-based compensation for GAAP purposes. As of December 31, 2013, the Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units represented a 2.3% interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group.

	Basis of Presentation
	These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Restatements
	Following a periodic review performed by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”), the Company determined that it will correct an error related to the consolidation of the CLOs it manages. The Company launched its first CLO in the third quarter of 2012.  Consolidating the CLOs has resulted in material adjustments to the Company’s previously issued annual and interim financial statements from the third quarter of 2012 through the third quarter of 2013.  The consolidation of these CLOs resulted in an increase in the assets and liabilities of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated balance sheets for these periods, as well as an increase in the income, expenses and net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), but did not impact net income (loss) allocated to Class A Shareholders.
	In addition, the Company corrected an error related to the treatment of the previously deferred incentive income allocations from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds that remained subject to clawback, to the extent there are future losses. The Company determined that such amounts are allocable to the Company and to noncontrolling interests based on the contractual terms of the relevant fund documents rather than deferring these amounts until clawback contingencies are resolved. To correct the error, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company adjusted previously reported amounts from change in deferred income of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the statements of comprehensive income (loss) to consolidated net income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests and consolidated net income (loss) allocated to Class A Shareholders. These adjustments also resulted in a change to the previously reported earnings per share information for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company also adjusted the previously reported related deferred income of consolidated Och-Ziff funds liability from other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets to shareholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and shareholders’ deficit attributable to Class A Shareholders.
	The tables below present the effect of these adjustments on the affected line items in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and statements of comprehensive income (loss) as reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, included within the adjustments presented in the table below is the reclassification from noncontrolling interests to redeemable noncontrolling interests discussed in “—Reclassifications.”

There were no changes to the previously reported net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities resulting from the restatements, as the financing cash flows related to the consolidation of the CLOs occurred prior to consolidation. See non-cash disclosures in the consolidated statements of cash flows for additional information.
Reclassifications
The Company consolidates a credit hedge fund that allows fund investors to redeem their interests upon the expiration of a lockup period. These interests were deemed immaterial for separate presentation as redeemable noncontrolling interests in 2012, and therefore were included within noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of comprehensive income (loss).  Due to growth in this consolidated fund in 2013, the Company started to report these interests separately in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of comprehensive income (loss).  As a result, the Company has reclassified the 2012 amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The most critical of these estimates are related to (i) fair value measurements of the assets and liabilities of the Och-Ziff funds, which impacts the Company’s management fees and incentive income; (ii) the accounting treatment for variable interest entities; and (iii) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets. While management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Consolidation Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Registrant and entities in which it, directly or indirectly, is determined to have a controlling financial interest under the following set of guidelines:
·	Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)—The Company determines whether, if by design, an entity has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its expected activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. If an entity has either of these characteristics, it is considered a VIE and must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. As substantially all of the funds managed by the Company qualify for the deferral under ASU 2010-10, Amendments to Statement 167 for Certain Investment Funds, the primary beneficiary of the funds the Company manages that are determined to be VIEs is the party that absorbs a majority of the VIEs’ expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests. The Company’s CLOs and a certain joint venture are VIEs and do not qualify for the deferral under ASU 2010-10. Therefore, the primary beneficiary of these entities is the party that (i) has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.
·	Voting Interest Entities (“VOEs”)—For entities that are not VIEs, the Company consolidates those entities in which it has an equity investment of greater than 50% and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. Additionally, the Company consolidates partnerships in which the Company is a substantive, controlling general partner and the limited partners have no substantive rights to participate in the ongoing governance and operating activities.
The Company’s funds are typically organized using a “master-feeder” structure. Fund investors, including the Company’s executive managing directors, employees and other related parties to the extent they invest in a given fund, invest directly into the feeder funds. These feeder funds are typically limited partnerships or limited companies that hold direct or indirect interests in a master fund. The master fund, together with its subsidiaries, is the primary investment vehicle for its feeder funds. The Company generally collects its management fees and incentive income from the feeder funds or wholly owned subsidiaries of the feeder funds (“intermediate funds”), and does not collect any management fees or incentive income directly from the master funds. However, the Company also organizes certain funds (e.g. its real estate funds and certain credit funds) without the use of a master-feeder structure. These are typically organized as limited partnerships, in which the Company is the general partner and collects management fees and incentive income directly from these entities; however, for the real estate funds the Company collects management fees directly from the funds’ investors.
The determination of whether a fund is a VIE or a VOE is based on the facts and circumstances for each individual fund in accordance with the guidelines described above.
Funds that are VIEs
Funds that the Company has determined to be VIEs are generally limited partnerships in which the Company serves as general partner but lacks a substantive equity investment and fund investors (i.e. the limited partners) do not have the substantive ability to remove the Company as general partner. In addition, limited companies in which the Company is the investment manager with decision-making rights and fund investors (i.e. the limited company shareholders) lack the substantive ability to remove the Company as the decision maker by a simple majority vote of the unrelated shareholders of the respective fund are also VIEs. As a result, the fund investors are deemed to lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and therefore, the entity is a VIE. In addition, the lack of removal rights results in the Company’s management fees and incentive income being considered a variable interest when determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Finally, the Company’s CLOs are also VIEs since they lack sufficient equity at risk to finance their expected activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, as these entities are financed through senior and subordinated notes.
The following types of funds are generally VIEs and not consolidated by the Company: (i) master funds, where the Company lacks a variable interest. In these cases, the Company has no direct interest in the master fund. All management fees and incentive income related to these funds are collected from the related but separate feeder funds; (ii) intermediate funds, where the Company’s only variable interest in these entities is limited to the collection of management fees and incentive income. The majority of the expected losses and returns of these VIEs, which are subject to the deferral discussed above, flow through to the related feeder funds that wholly own these intermediate funds; and (iii) other funds, where the Company’s only interest is limited to the collection of management fees and incentive income. The majority of the expected losses and returns of these VIEs, which are subject to the deferral discussed above, flow through to a single investor.
The types of funds that are VIEs and consolidated by the Company generally include certain real estate and credit funds that qualify for the deferral above, and in which the following factors are present: (i) the Company does not have a substantive equity investment; (ii) fund investors lack substantive rights to remove the Company as general partner; (iii) investors in these funds are related parties of the Company, and therefore their interests when combined with the Company results in the Company and its related party group absorbing the majority of the expected losses and returns of these VIEs (these related parties include the Company’s executive managing directors, as well as fund investors who lack the ability to redeem their investments without the Company’s consent); and (iv) no single investor is expected to absorb a majority of the economics of the entity. Additionally, the Company consolidates the CLOs it manages, which do not qualify for the deferral discussed above. The Company has the power to direct the activities of each CLO that most significantly impact the CLO’s economic performance, and the Company has the right to receive benefits from the CLO in the form of management fees and incentive income that could potentially be significant to the CLO. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the Company’s CLOs.
Funds that are VOEs
Funds that the Company has determined to be VOEs are generally limited partnerships in which the Company or its executive managing directors have a substantive equity investment in the entity, or in which fund investors (i.e. the limited partners) have the substantive ability to remove the Company as general partner by a simple majority vote of the unrelated investors of the respective fund. Limited companies in which the Company is the investment manager with decision-making rights and the fund investors (i.e. the limited company shareholders) have the substantive ability to remove the Company as decision maker by a simple majority vote of the unrelated investors of the respective fund are also VOEs. As a result, the fund investors are deemed to have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and therefore, the entity is a VOE.
The types of funds that are VOEs and not consolidated by the Company are generally the feeder funds for the Company’s multi-strategy funds, as fund investors in these entities have been granted substantive removal rights.
The types of funds that are VOEs and consolidated by the Company include certain real estate and credit funds in which the Company has a substantive equity investment and fund investors lack substantive removal rights.
Allocations of Och-Ziff Operating Group Earnings (Losses) and Capital
Earnings (losses) of the Och-Ziff Operating Group are allocated on a pro rata basis between the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units, which interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests, and Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units, which interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to Class A Shareholders, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Paid-in capital of the Och-Ziff Operating Group is allocated pro rata between the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units, which interest is reflected within noncontrolling interests, and Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units, which interest is reflected within the Company’s paid-in capital, in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result, increases in the Och-Ziff Operating Group’s paid-in capital resulting from the amortization of equity-based compensation and Reorganization expenses is allocated pro rata between noncontrolling interests and the Company’s paid-in capital.
See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group.
Noncontrolling Interests and Appropriated Retained Earnings (Deficit)
In addition to the executive managing directors’ and the Ziff’s interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group discussed above, the Company also consolidates certain funds in which noncontrolling interests are present. The Company generally has little or no direct ownership in these funds. Amounts relating to fund investors’ interests in these funds are presented as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets.  Allocations of profits and losses to these interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Investors in these funds presented within noncontrolling interests are generally not able to redeem their interests until the fund liquidates or is otherwise wound-up.
Additionally, the Company consolidates a credit-focused hedge fund that it manages, wherein investors are able to redeem their interests after an initial lock-up period of one to three years. Amounts relating to these fund investors’ interests in the fund are presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets.  Allocations of profits and losses to these interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Upon initial consolidation of a CLO, the Company has elected the fair value option for the notes payable of the consolidated CLOs. The recognition of the initial difference between the fair value of assets and liabilities of consolidated CLOs is treated as an adjustment to appropriated retained earnings (deficit). Net changes in the fair value of consolidated CLO assets and liabilities and related income and expenses are allocated to noncontrolling interests in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). These allocations are then reclassified from noncontrolling interests to appropriated retained earnings (deficit) in the consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are reclassified since the holders of each CLO’s beneficial interests, as opposed to the Company, receive the benefits or absorb the losses of the CLO’s assets.
See Note 3 for additional information regarding noncontrolling interests.
Revenue Recognition Policies
The Company has two principal sources of revenues: management fees and incentive income. These revenues are derived from the Company’s agreements with the Och-Ziff funds. The agreements are automatically renewed on an annual basis unless the agreements are terminated by the general partner or directors of the respective funds. Certain investments held by employees, executive managing directors and other related parties in the Och-Ziff funds are not subject to management fees or incentive income charges. See Note 14 for additional information regarding these waived fees.
Management Fees
Management fees for the Company’s hedge funds typically range from 1.5% to 2.5% annually of assets under management in these funds. For the Company’s credit funds and real estate funds, management fees typically range from 0.75% to 1.5% annually based on either the net asset value of these funds or on the amount of capital committed to these platforms by its fund investors. Management fees for the Company’s CLOs are generally 0.50% based on the par value of the collateral and cash held in the CLOs.
Management fees are recognized over the period during which the related services are performed. Management fees are generally calculated and paid to the Company on a quarterly basis in advance, based on the amount of assets under management at the beginning of the quarter. Management fees are prorated for capital inflows and redemptions during the quarter. Accordingly, changes in the Company’s management fee revenues from quarter to quarter are driven by changes in the quarterly opening balances of assets under management, the relative magnitude and timing of inflows and redemptions during the respective quarter, as well as the impact of differing management fee rates charged on those inflows and redemptions.
Incentive Income
The Company earns incentive income based on the performance of the Och-Ziff funds. Incentive income is typically equal to 20% of the net realized and unrealized profits attributable to each fund investor, but it excludes unrealized gains and losses attributable to investments that the Company, as investment manager, believes lack a readily ascertainable market value, are illiquid or should be held until the resolution of a special event or circumstance (“Special Investments”).
For funds that the Company consolidates, including its real estate funds, certain credit funds and certain other funds, incentive income is recognized by allocating a portion of the net income of the consolidated Och-Ziff funds to the Company rather than to the fund investors (noncontrolling interests). Incentive income allocated to the Company is not reflected as incentive income in consolidated revenues, as these amounts are eliminated in consolidation. The allocation of incentive income to the Company is based on the contractual terms of the relevant fund agreements. As a result, the Company may recognize earnings related to its incentive income allocation from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds prior to the end of their respective performance measurement periods, and therefore it may recognize earnings that are subject to clawback to the extent a consolidated fund generates subsequent losses.
For the funds that the Company does not consolidate, incentive income is not recognized until the end of the applicable performance measurement period when the amounts are contractually payable, or “crystallized.” Additionally, all of the Company’s hedge funds are subject to a perpetual loss carry forward, or perpetual “high-water mark,” meaning the Company will not be able to earn incentive income with respect to positive investment performance generated for a fund investor in any year following negative investment performance until that loss is recouped, at which point a fund investor’s investment surpasses the high-water mark. The Company earns incentive income on any net profits in excess of the high-water mark.
The performance measurement period for most of the Company’s assets under management is on a calendar-year basis, and therefore incentive income is generally crystallized annually on December 31. The Company may also recognize incentive income related to fund investor redemptions at other times during the year. Additionally, the Company may recognize a material amount of incentive income during the year related to assets subject to three-year performance measurement periods for which the measurement period has expired (including the rollover of a portion of these assets into one-year measurement periods upon the conclusion of the initial three-year measurement period), as well as assets in certain of its credit funds and certain other funds it manages, which typically have measurement periods beyond one year. The Company may also recognize incentive income for tax distributions related to these assets. Tax distributions are amounts distributed to the Company to cover tax liabilities related to incentive income that has been accrued at the fund level but will not be recognized until the end of the relevant performance measurement period (if at all).
As of December 31, 2013, the performance measurement periods with respect to approximately $10.6 billion, or 26.4%, of the Company’s assets under management were longer than one year. These assets under management include assets subject to three-year performance measurement periods in the OZ Master Fund and other multi-strategy funds, as well as assets in the Company’s credit funds, CLOs, real estate funds and other alternative investment vehicles it manages. Incentive income related to these assets is based on the cumulative investment performance over a specified measurement period (in the case of CLOs, based on the excess cash flows available to the holders of the subordinated notes), and, to the extent a fund is not consolidated, is not earned until it is no longer subject to repayment to the respective fund. The Company’s ability to earn incentive income on these longer-term assets is also subject to hurdle rates whereby the Company does not earn any incentive income until the investment returns exceed an agreed upon benchmark. However, for a portion of these assets subject to hurdle rates, once the investment performance has exceeded the hurdle rate, the Company may receive a preferential “catch-up” allocation, resulting in a potential recognition to the Company of a full 20% of the net profits attributable to investors in these assets.
Other Revenues
Other revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and revenue related to non-business use of the corporate aircraft by Mr. Och. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Revenues earned from non-business use of the corporate aircraft are recognized on an accrual basis based on actual flight hours. See Note 14 for additional information regarding non-business use of the corporate aircraft.
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits is comprised of salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, and discretionary and guaranteed cash bonus expense. The Company generally recognizes compensation and benefits expenses over the related service period. On an annual basis, compensation and benefits comprise a significant portion of total expenses, with discretionary cash bonuses generally comprising a significant portion of total compensation and benefits. These cash bonuses are based on total annual revenues, which are significantly influenced by the amount of incentive income the Company earns in the year. Annual discretionary cash bonuses are generally determined and expensed in the fourth quarter each year.
Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units
The Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units are not considered equity under GAAP and no equity-based compensation expense is recognized related to these units when they are granted. Distributions to holders of Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units are included within compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). These distributions are accrued in the quarter in which the related income was earned and are paid out the following quarter at the same time distributions on the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units and dividends on the Company’s Class A Shares are paid.
Profit-Sharing Arrangements
The Company also has profit-sharing arrangements whereby certain employees or executive managing directors are entitled to a share of incentive income distributed by certain funds. This incentive income is typically paid to the Company and a portion paid to the participant as investments held by these funds are realized. The Company defers the recognition of any portion of this incentive income to the extent it is subject to clawback and relates to a fund that is not consolidated. See “—Incentive Income” above.  To the extent that the payments to the employees or executive managing directors are probable and reasonably estimable, the Company accrues these payments as compensation expense for GAAP purposes, which may occur prior to the recognition of the related incentive income.
Equity-Based Compensation
Compensation expense related to equity-based payments is based on the grant-date fair value and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards with both cliff vesting and graded vesting. An estimated forfeiture assumption is based on current and historical information and is reviewed periodically for any necessary adjustments. A change in the forfeiture assumption is recognized in the period in which such change occurs. See Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s equity-based compensation plan.
Partner Incentive Plan
In August 2012, upon the recommendation and approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Board approved The Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC 2012 Partner Incentive Plan (the “PIP”) in order to further the retention of its executive managing directors. Mr. Och will not participate in the PIP, but will continue to participate in the Company’s profits solely through distributions from his existing equity ownership stake.
Under the terms of the PIP, certain executive managing directors at the time of the IPO may be eligible to receive discretionary cash awards and discretionary grants of Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units over a five-year period that commenced in 2013. Each year, an aggregate of up to 2,770,749 Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units may be granted under the PIP to the participating executive managing directors, for an aggregate of up to 13,853,745 over the five-year period if a determination is made each year to award the maximum number of units. Aggregate discretionary cash awards under the PIP for each year will be capped at 10% of the Company’s incentive income earned during that year, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $39.6 million. The participating executive managing directors, collectively, may receive a maximum aggregate amount of up to $197.8 million over the five-year period if the Company earns enough incentive income each year and if a determination is made each year to award the maximum amount.  In 2013, the Company granted 2,770,749 Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units and aggregate cash awards of $39.6 million to participating executive managing directors under the PIP.
Reorganization Expenses
Reorganization expenses relate to the amortization of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units held by the Company’s executive managing directors that were issued in connection with the Reorganization. See Note 10 for additional information.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities for presentation in its consolidated balance sheets when such assets and liabilities are within the same legal entity and related to the same taxing jurisdiction.
The realization of deferred income tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance is established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance should be established, as well as the amount of such allowance.
Future events such as changes in tax legislation could have an impact on the provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.
The Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes within income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments that have an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost plus accrued interest. As of December 31, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held with one major financial institution, and therefore exposes the Company to a certain degree of credit risk. The Company records cash and cash equivalents of the consolidated Och-Ziff funds held at prime brokers within other assets of Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated balance sheets.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets consist of a corporate aircraft, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, furniture, fixtures and office equipment. Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization within other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates fixed assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be fully recovered. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are calculated using the straight-line method over the following depreciable lives: fifteen years for the corporate aircraft, the shorter of the related lease term or expected useful life for leasehold improvements and three to seven years for all other fixed assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets are included within other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and relate to the Company’s 2007 acquisition of an additional 25% interest in its domestic real estate operations from one of its joint venture partners. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances justify conducting an interim test. Intangible assets, which are being amortized through 2016, relate to management agreements the Company has with the domestic real estate funds and the Company’s rights to future earnings related to the real estate business. The estimated future annual amortization expense related to these intangible assets is expected to be approximately $748 thousand through 2015 and $613 thousand in 2016. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets of $748 thousand, $751 thousand and $748 thousand was incurred for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included within general, administrative and other in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of each of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Transaction gains and losses are recorded as other expenses within general, administrative and other in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Policies of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds
Certain Och-Ziff funds in which the Company has only minor ownership interests, if any, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The majority ownership interests in these funds are held by the investors in the funds, and these interests are reflected within noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets. The management fees and incentive income from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds are eliminated in consolidation (except for management fees from certain funds, whereby such fees are paid directly to the Company by the fund investors); however, the Company’s share of the earnings from these funds is increased by the amount of the eliminated management fees and incentive income.
The Och-Ziff funds are considered investment companies for GAAP purposes. Pursuant to specialized accounting guidance for investment companies and the retention of that guidance in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the investments held by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds’ are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair values. As discussed above, the Company has elected the fair value option for the notes payable of its consolidated CLOs.
Income of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds
Income of consolidated Och-Ziff funds consists of interest income, dividend income and other miscellaneous items. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. The consolidated Och-Ziff funds may place debt obligations, including bank debt and other participation interests, on non-accrual status and, when necessary, reduce current interest income by charging off any interest receivable when collection of all or a portion of such accrued interest has become doubtful. The balance of non-accrual investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the impact of such investments for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were not significant. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes, if applicable.
Expenses of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds
Expenses of consolidated Och-Ziff funds consist of interest expense and other miscellaneous expenses. Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investments, at Fair Value
Investments, at fair value include the consolidated Och-Ziff funds’ investments in securities, investment companies and other investments. Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments of the Och-Ziff funds are determined on a specific identification basis and are included within net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to income of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
The fair value of investments held by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds is based on observable market prices when available. Such values are generally based on the last reported sales price as of the reporting date. In the absence of readily ascertainable market values, the determination of the fair value of investments held by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds may require significant judgment or estimation. For information regarding the valuation of these assets, see Note 4.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. The funds provide securities to counterparties to collateralize amounts borrowed under repurchase agreements on terms that permit the counterparties to repledge or resell the securities to others. Cash borrowed by the funds is included within securities sold under agreements to repurchase in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of securities transferred to counterparties under such agreements totaled $422.1 million and $358.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in investments, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense incurred on these transactions is included within expenses of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Notes Payable of Consolidated CLOs, at Fair Value
The Company has elected the fair value option for the senior secured and subordinated notes payable of consolidated CLOs. The Company has elected the fair value option for the notes payable of the consolidated CLOs to mitigate accounting mismatches between the carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the CLOs. Changes in fair value of the notes are included within net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11, as clarified by ASC 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse-repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either (i) offset in the balance sheet, or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement, irrespective of whether they are offset in the balance sheet. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The requirements of ASU 2011-11 were effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, as ASU 2011-11 only affects disclosures about offsetting. No changes were made to the existing guidance on the offsetting of assets and liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet.
Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies. ASU 2013-08 provides clarifying guidance to determine if an entity qualifies as an investment company. ASU 2013-08 also requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling interests in other investment companies at fair value. The following disclosures will also be required upon adoption of ASU 2013-08: (i) whether an entity is an investment company and is applying the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies; (ii) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company; and (iii) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. The requirements of ASU 2013-08 are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these updates will have on its financial condition or results of operations.

Noncontrolling Interests	'
	3	NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
	Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests in the Company’s subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company, and primarily relate to the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units held by the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs, and fund investors’ interests in the consolidated Och-Ziff funds. Net income (loss) allocated to the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units is driven by the earnings of the Och-Ziff Operating Group. Net income (loss) allocated to fund investors’ interests in consolidated Och-Ziff funds is driven by the earnings of those funds, including the net difference in the fair value of CLO assets and liabilities that are subsequently reclassified to appropriated retained earnings (deficit) on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 2 for additional information.
	The following table presents the components of the net income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests:

	Och-Ziff Operating Group Ownership
	The Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group increased to 35.9% as of December 31, 2013, from 19.2% at the time of the 2007 Offerings. Increases in the Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group were driven by the issuance of 33,333,333 Class A Shares in the 2011 Offering. Additionally, the exchange of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units for an equal number of Class A Shares and the issuance of Class A Shares under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, primarily related to the vesting of Class A restricted share units (“RSUs”), also increased the Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group. In the future, the Company expects to issue additional equity awards relating to Class A Shares under its 2013 Incentive Plan. The Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group is expected to continue to increase over time as additional Class A Shares are issued upon the exchange of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units and vesting of RSUs. These increases will be offset upon any conversion of Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units, which are not considered equity for GAAP purposes, into Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units.
	Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit Exchanges
	During the three years ended December 31, 2013, the Ziffs and certain former executive managing directors exchanged Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units for Class A Shares. These exchanges of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units by former executive managing directors resulted in the cancellation of the related Class B Shares. As discussed in Note 1, the Ziffs do not hold any Class B Shares, and therefore there is no related cancellation of Class B Shares upon exchanges by the Ziffs.
	In connection with these exchanges by former executive managing directors and the Ziffs, the Company recorded the following changes to shareholders’ equity:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013						2012					2011
								(Restated)					(Restated)
		Paid-in			Noncontrolling			Paid-in			Noncontrolling		Paid-in			Noncontrolling

	Equity-Based Compensation
	The table below presents the net amount of capital reallocated from noncontrolling interests to the Company due to increases in the Company’s ownership in the Och-Ziff Operating Group resulting from the vesting of RSUs that were settled in Class A Shares. These increases in the Company’s ownership were offset by grants of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units made to executive managing directors subsequent to the 2007 Offerings, including the conversion of Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units into Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units. These capital reallocations are recorded within equity-based compensation in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

	Acquisition of Noncontrolling Interests
	In December 2013, the Company restructured its real estate business so that it now wholly owns the entities related to the real estate business.  Prior to the restructuring, the Company owned 75% of the equity in the real estate business and a noncontrolling partner held the remaining 25% equity interest.  In connection with the restructuring, the noncontrolling partner received Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units subject to vesting.  The restructuring was accounted for as an acquisition of noncontrolling interests, resulting in the reallocation of deficit capital of $2.6 million from noncontrolling interests to the Company’s paid in capital.  The noncontrolling partner will continue to be entitled to a share of future incentive income earned from the real estate funds; however, these amounts will be treated as compensation expense for GAAP purposes.

Fair_Value_Disclosures

Fair Value Disclosures	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures	'
	4	FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
	Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of investments that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.
	GAAP prioritizes the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of assets and liabilities and the specific characteristics of the assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively-quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of the following categories:
	-1	Level I – Fair value is determined using quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities that would generally be included in this category are certain listed equities, sovereign debt of developed nations and certain listed derivatives.
	-2	Level II – Fair value is determined using quotations received from dealers making a market for these assets or liabilities (“broker quotes”), valuations obtained from independent third-party pricing services, the use of models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly market observable as of the measurement date. Consideration is given to the nature of the broker quotes (e.g., indicative or executable). Assets and liabilities for which executable broker quotes are significant inputs in determining the fair value of an asset or liability are included within Level II. The types of assets and liabilities that would generally be included in this category are certain corporate bonds, certain credit default swap contracts, certain bank debt securities, certain commercial real estate debt, less liquid and restricted equity securities, forward contracts and certain over the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.
	-3	Level III – Fair value is determined using pricing inputs that are unobservable in the market and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The fair value of assets and liabilities in this category may require significant judgment or estimation in determining fair value of the assets or liabilities. The fair value of these assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, relevant broker quotes, models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly or indirectly market observable. Assets and liabilities for which indicative broker quotes are significant inputs in determining the fair value of an asset or liability are included within Level III. The types of assets and liabilities that would generally be included in this category include real estate investments, equity and debt securities issued by private entities, limited partnerships, certain corporate bonds, certain credit default swap contracts, certain bank debt securities, certain commercial real estate debt, certain OTC derivatives, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, as well as the notes payable of consolidated CLOs.
	In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
	Fair Value Measurements Categorized within the Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company assumes that any transfers between Level I, Level II or Level III during the period occur at the beginning of the period. Transfers out of Level III resulted from the fair values of certain securities becoming market observable as of year-end, with fair value determined through the use of independent pricing services. Transfers into Level III resulted from the valuation of certain investments with decreased market observability as of year-end, with fair values determined through the use of broker quotations.
The table below summarizes the net change in unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s Level III assets and liabilities (excluding notes payable of consolidated CLOs) held as of the reporting date. These gains and losses are included within net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss):

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels II and III
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are generally structured as equity, preferred equity, mezzanine debt, and participating debt in entities domiciled primarily in the United States and include investments in lodging, gaming, multifamily properties, retail, healthcare, distressed residential, senior housing, golf, parking, office buildings and land. The fair values of these investments are generally based upon discounting the expected cash flows from the investment or a cash flow multiple. In reaching the determination of fair value for investments, the Company considers many factors including, but not limited to: the operating cash flows and financial performance of the real estate investments relative to budgets or projections; property types; geographic locations; the physical condition of the asset; prevailing market capitalization rates; prevailing market discount rates; general economic conditions; economic conditions specific to the market in which the assets are located; the prevailing interest rate environment; the prevailing state of the debt markets; comparable public company trading multiples; independent third-party appraisals; available pricing data on comparable properties in the specific market in which the asset is located; expected exit timing and strategy; and any specific rights or terms associated with the investment.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s real estate investments are discount rates, cash flow growth rates, capitalization rates, the price per square foot, the absorption percentage per year and exit multiples. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates and capitalization rates in isolation would be expected to result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the cash flow growth rates, the price per square foot, the absorption percentage per year and exit multiples in isolation would be expected to result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A change in the assumption used for price per square foot is generally accompanied by a directionally inverse change in the absorption percentage per year.
Collateralized Debt Obligations; Residential and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities; Commercial Real Estate Debt; Common and Preferred Stock; Corporate Bonds; Asset-Backed Securities; Bank Debt; Subordinated Notes Payable of Consolidated CLOs
The fair value of investments in collateralized debt obligations, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate debt, common and preferred stock, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, bank debt and subordinated notes payable of consolidated CLOs that do not have readily ascertainable fair values is generally determined using broker quotes or valuations from independent pricing services. For month-end valuations, the Company generally receives one to four broker quotes for each security, depending on the type of security being valued. These broker quotes are generally non-binding or indicative in nature. The Company verifies that these broker quotes are reflective of fair value as defined in GAAP generally through procedures such as comparison to independent pricing services, back testing procedures, review of stale pricing reports and performance of other due diligence procedures as may be deemed necessary. Historically, the Company has only adjusted a small number of broker quotes when used in determining final valuations for securities as a result of these procedures.
To the extent broker quotes are not available or deemed unreliable, the methods and procedures to value these investments may include, but are not limited to: obtaining and using other additional broker quotes deemed reliable; using independent pricing services; performing comparisons with prices of comparable or similar securities; obtaining valuation-related information from the issuers; calculating the present value of future cash flows; assessing other analytical data and information relating to these investments that is an indication of their value; obtaining information provided by third parties; reviewing the amounts invested in these investments; and evaluating financial information provided by the management of these investments. Market data is used to the extent that it is observable and considered reliable.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate debt, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and bank debt that is not valued using broker quotes are discount rates, credit spreads, comparability adjustments and yields. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates, credit spreads, comparability adjustments and yields in isolation would be expected to result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Energy and Natural Resources Limited Partnerships
The fair value of energy and natural resources limited partnerships are generally determined using discounted cash flows when assets are producing oil or gas, or when it is reasonably certain that an asset will be capable of producing oil or gas. Acreage with proven undeveloped, probable or possible reserves are valued using prevailing prices of comparable properties, and may include adjustments for other assets or liabilities such as seismic data, equipment, and cash held by the investee. Certain natural resource assets may also be valued using scenario analyses and sum of the parts analyses.
The fair value for certain energy and natural resources limited partnership investments is based on the net asset value of the underlying fund. This amount represents a certain consolidated fund’s investment into another fund managed by the Company. The investee invests primarily in energy and natural resource investments. The fund may not redeem its investment into the investee prior to liquidation.  The fund will receive distributions from the investee as investments are sold, the timing of which cannot be estimated. The consolidated fund has $50.0 million of unfunded commitments that will be funded by capital contributions from investors in the fund, as the Company is not an investor in the fund.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s energy and natural resources limited partnerships are discount rates, EBITDA multiples, price per acre, production multiples, EV/risked prospective resources, price of natural gas per thousand cubic feet, price of oil per barrel, scenario analysis weightings, well risking, energy differentials. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates, well risking and energy differentials in isolation would be expected to result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the EBITDA multiples, price per acre, production multiples, EV/risked prospective resources, price of natural gas per thousand cubic feet and price of oil per barrel in isolation would be expected to result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Significant adjustments to the scenario analysis weightings would be expected to result in an adjustment to the fair value based on the qualitative analysis of the weightings selection.
Investments in Affiliated Credit Funds
The fair value of investments in affiliated credit funds relates to consolidated feeder funds’ investments into their related master funds. The Company is not an investor of these feeder funds or master funds. The fair value of these investments is based on the consolidated feeder funds’ proportionate share of the respective master funds’ net asset value. These master funds invest primarily in credit-related strategies. Approximately 39% of these investments can be redeemed and paid to investors in the feeder fund after an initial lock-up period of one to three years, after which the feeder fund may redeem its investment on a quarterly basis upon a 90-day prior written notice. The Company, as investment manager of the master fund, has the option (not exercised to date) to suspend redemptions in certain situations.  The remaining 61% relates to a feeder fund that is not able to redeem its investment in the master fund prior to liquidation, the timing of which cannot be estimated. The feeder fund will receive distributions from the master fund as investments are sold, the timing of which cannot be estimated due to the illiquid nature of the investments held by the master fund. The consolidated feeder funds have $34.8 million of unfunded commitments that will be funded by capital contributions from investors in the feeder funds, as the Company is not an investor in the feeder funds or master funds.
Senior Secured Notes Payable of Consolidated CLOs
The fair value of senior secured notes payable of consolidated CLOs is determined using discounted cash flows. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the senior secured notes payable of consolidated CLOs are interest rates, loan default rates, loan prepayment rates, loan recovery rates and reinvestment prices. Significant increases (decreases) in the interest rates, loan default rates, loan prepayment rates, loan loss severity and reinvestment prices in isolation would be expected to result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A change in the assumption used for interest rates is generally accompanied by a directionally similar change in loan default rates, and a directionally inverse change in loan prepayment rates.

Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Level III
The Company has established an internal control infrastructure over the valuation of financial instruments that includes ongoing independent oversight by its Financial Controls Group and Valuation Committee, as well as periodic audits by the Company’s Internal Audit Group. These control functions are segregated from the trading and investing functions.
The Valuation Committee is responsible for developing valuation policies to help ensure that all of the funds’ investments reflect fair values, as well as providing oversight of the valuation process. These valuation policies and procedures include, but are not limited to the following: determining the pricing sources used to value specific investment classes; the selection of independent pricing services; the periodic review of due diligence materials of independent pricing services; and the fair value hierarchy coding of the funds’ investments. The Valuation Committee reviews a variety of reports on a monthly basis, which include, but are not limited to the following: summaries of the sources used to determine the value of the funds’ investments; summaries of the fair value hierarchy of the funds’ investments; and variance reports that compare the values of investments to independent pricing services. The Valuation Committee is comprised of non-investment professionals, and may obtain input from investment professionals for consideration in carrying out its responsibilities.
The Financial Controls Group is responsible for ensuring compliance with the valuation policies and preparing the monthly valuation reports reviewed by the Valuation Committee. The Financial Controls Group’s other responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following: preparation and distribution of daily profit and loss reports; overseeing the collection and evaluation of counterparty prices, broker-dealer quotations, exchange prices and third party pricing feeds; performing back testing by comparing prices observed in executed transactions to previous day valuations and/or pricing service providers on a weekly and monthly basis; preparing due diligence report reviews on independent pricing services on an annual or as needed basis; and assisting the Valuation Committee in developing valuation policies.
The Internal Audit Group employs a risk-based program of audit coverage that is designed to provide an independent assessment of the design and effectiveness of controls over the Company’s operations, regulatory compliance, valuation of financial instruments and reporting. Additionally, the Internal Audit Group meets with management periodically to evaluate and provide guidance on the existing risk framework and control environment assessments.
Monthly procedures have been established for Level III investments to compare unobservable inputs to observable inputs for similar positions, review subsequent market activities, perform comparisons of actual versus projected cash flows, and discuss the valuation methodology, including pricing techniques when applicable, with investment professionals. Independent pricing services may be used to corroborate the Company’s internal valuations. Investment professionals and members of the Financial Controls Group review a daily profit and loss report, as well as other periodic reports that analyze the profit and loss and related asset class exposure of the funds’ investments.
Fair Value of Delayed Draw Term Loan
Management estimates that the fair value of the $384.2 million outstanding under the Company’s delayed draw term loan agreement entered into in November 2011 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) was approximately 95% of its carrying value as of December 31, 2013, based on an analysis of comparable issuers. This fair value measurement would be categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.

Balance Sheet Offsetting	'
	5	BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING
	In the ordinary course of business, certain consolidated funds have entered into certain transactions which are subject to master agreements that provide for payment netting and that, in the case of a default or similar event with respect to the counterparty to the master agreement, provide for netting across transactions. Generally, upon a counterparty default, the fund can terminate all transactions under the master agreement and set off amounts it owes across all transactions under a particular master agreement against collateral it has received under such master agreement; provided, however, that in the case of certain defaults, the fund may only be able to terminate and setoff solely with respect to the transactions affected by the default. Generally, the funds party to these agreements manage cash and securities collateral on a counterparty basis as permitted under each master agreement.
	The table below presents the repurchase agreements that are set off, if any, as well as securities transferred to counterparties related to those repurchase agreements (capped to not reduce below zero the net amount presented). No other material financial instruments were subject to master netting agreements or other similar agreements.

Variable_Interest_Entities

Variable Interest Entities	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Variable Interest Entities	'
	6	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company sponsors the formation of VIEs. These VIEs generally consist of the following categories: funds, including CLOs, and joint ventures. The Company has not recorded any liabilities with respect to VIEs that are not consolidated.
	Funds
	Many of the Company’s funds, including its CLOs, are VIEs. The Company generally serves as the general partner or the investment or collateral manager with decision-making rights for these entities. Substantially all of the funds that are VIEs managed by the Company qualify for the deferral granted under ASU 2010-10, Amendments to Statement 167 for Certain Investment Funds. Accordingly, the Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a fund that is a VIE is generally based on identifying the variable interest holder that is exposed to the majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns. Fund investors are entitled to substantially all of the economics of these VIEs with the exception of management fees and incentive income, if any, earned by the Company. Accordingly, the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities is not impacted by changes in the underlying assumptions made regarding future results or expected cash flows of these VIEs.
	The Company acts as collateral manager for CLOs that are VIEs. CLOs are entities that issue collateralized notes that offer investors the opportunity for returns that vary commensurately with the risk they assume. The notes issued by the CLOs are generally backed by asset portfolios consisting of loans or other debt. The Company receives collateral management fees for acting as collateral manager to the CLOs, and may earn incentive income based on the performance of the CLOs, subject to hurdle rates.
	The deferral granted in ASU 2010-10 does not apply to CLOs. Accordingly, the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary that would consolidate a CLO is based on a qualitative assessment to determine whether the Company, as collateral manager, has (i) the power to direct the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO. The Company determined that it possesses the power to direct the activities of the CLOs that most significantly impact the CLOs’ economic performance through its role in managing collateral and credit risk as the collateral manager. In addition, the Company determined that it has the right to receive benefits from the CLOs that could potentially be significant, on a quantitative and qualitative basis, because of the management fees and incentive income the Company could earn from the CLOs, as well as the purpose and design of the CLOs. As a result, the Company consolidates the CLOs it manages.
	The following table presents the assets and liabilities of funds that are VIEs and consolidated by the Company:

	The assets presented in the table above belong to the investors in those funds, are available for use only by the fund to which they belong, and are not available for use by the Company. The consolidated funds have no recourse to the general credit of the Company with respect to any liability. The Company also consolidates funds that are not VIEs, and therefore the assets and liabilities of those funds are not included in the table above.
	The Company’s involvement with funds that are VIEs and not consolidated by the Company is generally limited to providing asset management services. The Company’s exposure to loss from these entities is limited to a decrease in the management fees and incentive income that may be earned in future periods. The net assets of these VIEs were $33.7 billion and $27.7 billion as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company does not provide, nor is it required to provide, any type of financial or other support to these entities. The Company’s variable interests related to these VIEs relate primarily to management fees and incentive income earned from these entities. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the only assets arising from these variable interests related to income and fees receivable of $574.1 million and $392.9 million, respectively.
	Joint Ventures
	The Company holds a variable interest in a joint venture that is a VIE. The Company’s exposure to loss for this joint venture is limited to its investments in the entity, which totaled $6.7 million and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is recorded within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

		Principal Repayments

	2014	$	3,827
	2015		3,789
	2016		376,561
	Total Principal Repayments	$	384,177
	In June 2012, the Company refinanced the indebtedness outstanding under the 2007 Term Loan, as well as the indebtedness outstanding under its aircraft loan. A $384.5 million borrowing under the Delayed Draw Term Loan was used to fund these refinancings, with the balance being used for general corporate purposes. A $6.5 million borrowing under the facility was made in November 2011 to fund a portion of the 2007 Term Loan repurchased and retired in connection with the 2011 Offering. As of December 31, 2013, the total indebtedness outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loan was $384.2 million.
	Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan are payable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the amount outstanding on the last day of each quarter, and the balance will be payable upon maturity on November 23, 2016. Any amounts borrowed under the facility and subsequently repaid may not be re-borrowed. Amounts borrowed bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%, or a base rate plus 0.50%, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Och-Ziff Operating Group.
	The Delayed Draw Term Loan includes two financial maintenance covenants. The first prohibits total assets under management as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than $17.5 billion for two successive quarters, and the second prohibits the “economic income leverage ratio” (as defined in the Delayed Draw Term Loan) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter from exceeding 4.0 to 1.0. The Delayed Draw Term Loan allows a limited right to cure an event of default resulting from noncompliance with the economic income leverage ratio test with an equity contribution made to the borrower, OZ Management. Such cure right may not be used more than two times in any four-quarter period or more than three times during the term of the facility. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
	The Delayed Draw Term Loan includes provisions that restrict or limit the ability of the Och-Ziff Operating Group from:
	•	Incurring additional indebtedness or issuing certain equity interests.
	•	Creating liens.
	•	Paying dividends in excess of free cash flow (as defined below) or making certain other payments.
	•	Merging, consolidating, selling or otherwise disposing of all or part of its assets.
	•	Engaging in certain transactions with shareholders or affiliates.
	•	Engaging in a substantially different line of business.
	•	Amending its organizational documents in a manner materially adverse to the lenders.
	The Delayed Draw Term Loan permits the Och-Ziff Operating Group to incur up to $150 million of unsecured indebtedness and additional unsecured indebtedness so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, it is in compliance with an economic income leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. As of December 31, 2013, the Och-Ziff Operating Group had not incurred any unsecured indebtedness. The Company will not be permitted to make distributions from the Och-Ziff Operating Group if it is in default under the Delayed Draw Term Loan.
	The Delayed Draw Term Loan also limits the amount of distributions the Och-Ziff Operating Group can pay in a 12-month period to its “free cash flow.” Free cash flow for any period includes the combined net income or loss of the Och-Ziff Operating Group, excluding certain subsidiaries, subject to certain additions and deductions for taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges for such period, less total interest paid, expenses in connection with the purchase of property and equipment, distributions to equity holders to pay taxes, plus (or minus) realized gains (or losses) on investments and dividends and interest from investments. As of December 31, 2013, distributions from the Och-Ziff Operating Group were in compliance with the free cash flow covenant.
	On March 13, 2014, OZ Management and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment and waiver with the administrative agent and certain of the lenders under the Company’s Delayed Draw Term Loan in order to, among other things, waive any breach or violation of any provision of the Delayed Draw Term Loan that may result from the restatements and reclassifications discussed in Note 2, including any defaults or events of default that might result therefrom (including by way of cross-default).
	Consolidated Funds Credit Facility
	Certain funds consolidated by the Company have entered into a syndicated credit facility of which $85.5 million is available for borrowings or letters of credit. The facility will mature on the earlier of (i) April 1, 2014 and (ii) the date that is ninety days prior to the end of the investment period of the funds party to the agreement. The outstanding loans under the credit facility are secured by the unfunded capital commitments of one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries (as general partner) and the investors in those funds. The funds are jointly and severally liable for the indebtedness. For each borrowing under the credit facility, the funds have the option of borrowing at an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%, or 1.25% plus the greater of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. For each letter of credit drawn under the credit facility, the funds pay interest at a rate equal to 2.375%. In addition, the funds pay a minimum usage fee of 0.35% on the average daily amount of the unused portion of the credit facility.
	Borrowings under the credit facility are recorded as liabilities by the investment subsidiaries of the funds using the facility. Investment subsidiaries of these funds are not consolidated, but are carried at fair value within investments, at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, such borrowings are not included within debt obligations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2013, there were $24.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the facility with an average interest rate of 2.42%, and $8.2 million in letters of credit drawn under the facility with an average interest rate of 2.375%. As of December 31, 2012, there were $56.2 million in outstanding borrowings under the facility with an average interest rate of 2.97%, and $7.8 million in letters of credit drawn under the facility with an average interest rate of 2.375%.
	Notes Payable of Consolidated CLOs
	The Company consolidates the CLOs it manages. As a result, the senior and subordinated notes issued by the CLOs are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Notes payable of the consolidated CLOs are collateralized by the assets held by the CLOs and the assets of one CLO may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. This collateral generally consists of corporate loans, corporate bonds and other securities. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of the CLO assets was $2.8 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The stated maturity date for the notes issued by the CLOs range from 2023 to 2026.
	As discussed in Note 2, the Company has elected to carry these notes at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a net change in unrealized gains (losses) of $30.1 million and $(10.0) million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts are included within net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). Substantially all of these changes related to changes in instrument specific credit risk, as substantially all of these are floating-rate instruments.
	The tables below present information related to the CLO notes outstanding. The subordinated notes have no stated interest rate, and are entitled to any excess cash flows after contractual payments are made to the senior notes.

	Reorganization Expenses
	The reclassification of the executive managing directors’ and the Ziffs’ pre-IPO interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group as Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units at the time of the Reorganization was accounted for as share-based payments. The Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted to the Ziffs and the units sold by the executive managing directors in the 2007 Offerings were not subject to any substantive service or performance requirements; therefore, the fair value related to those units was recognized as a one-time charge at the time of the 2007 Offerings. The fair value of the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units held by the executive managing directors after the 2007 Offerings, less a 5% discount for transfer restrictions that remain in place after vesting, or $30.40 per Och-Ziff Operating Group A Unit, was amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite five-year service period following the 2007 Offerings. Any units that were subsequently reallocated among the executive managing directors as a result of forfeiture were accounted for as a new grant at the time of reallocation. Substantially all of the reallocated units vested over the remaining five-year period beginning on the date of the 2007 Offerings, with a small number of reallocated units vesting through 2015. Amortization related to Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted in connection with the Reorganization that are forfeited and subsequently reallocated to the remaining executive managing directors is also included within Reorganization expenses.
	The table below presents the activity related to unvested Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted in connection with the Reorganization that are being amortized through Reorganization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013:
		Unvested			Weighted-Average
		Och-Ziff Operating			Grant-Date Fair Value

	Beginning of Year		1,629,724		$	29.6
	Vested		(543,952	)		29.57
	End of Year		1,085,772		$	29.62
	The weighted-average grant-date fair value of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted in connection with the Reorganization was $10.06 for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted in 2013 or 2012 that are being amortized through Reorganization expenses. As of December 31, 2013, the total unrecognized Reorganization expenses related to unvested Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted in connection with the Reorganization totaled $30.1 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 1.9 years.
	Equity-Based Compensation Expenses
	The Company grants equity-based compensation in the form of RSUs, Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units and Class A Shares to its executive managing directors, employees and the independent members of the Board under the terms of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. In the future, the Company expects to issue additional equity awards relating to Class A Shares under its 2013 Incentive Plan. The following table presents information regarding the impact of equity-based compensation grants on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss):
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012		2011
		(dollars in thousands)
	Expense recorded within compensation and benefits	$	133,832		$	86,006	$	128,916
	Corresponding tax benefit	$	11,362		$	5,639	$	9,503
	Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
	An RSU entitles the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of the requisite service period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs equal to the market value of the Company’s Class A Shares at the date of grant, adjusted for forfeiture assumptions.
	All of the RSUs granted to date accrue dividend equivalents equal to the dividend amounts paid on the Company’s Class A Shares. To date, these dividend equivalents have been awarded in the form of additional RSUs that also accrue additional dividend equivalents. As a result, dividend equivalents declared on RSUs are recorded similar to a stock dividend, resulting in (i) increases in the Company’s accumulated deficit and the accumulated deficit component of noncontrolling interests on the same pro rata basis as earnings of the Och-Ziff Operating Group are allocated and (ii) increases in the Company’s paid-in capital and the paid-in capital component of noncontrolling interests on the same pro rata basis. No compensation expense is recognized related to these dividend equivalents. Delivery of dividend equivalents on outstanding RSUs is contingent upon the vesting of the underlying RSUs, and therefore a forfeiture provision has been included in the accrual of such dividend equivalents.
	The following table presents information related to the settlement of RSUs:
		Year Ended December 31,

	Canceled or forfeited		(479,686	)		10.55
	End of Year		9,548,694		$	10.16
	The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted was $10.07, $9.62 and $13.36 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, total unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs was approximately $78.0 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 2.3 years.
	Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units Granted Subsequent to the 2007 Offerings
	The Company recognizes compensation expense for Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units equal to the market value of the Company’s Class A Shares at the date of grant, less a 5% discount for transfer restrictions that remain in place after vesting. The table below presents the activity related to unvested Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted to executive managing directors subsequent to the 2007 Offerings that are being amortized through compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013:
		Unvested			Weighted-Average
		Och-Ziff Operating			Grant-Date Fair Value

	Beginning of Year		6,820,312		$	8.98

	Canceled or forfeited		(4,100,000	)		8.76
	End of Year		21,862,887		$	9.94
	The weighted-average grant-date fair value of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units granted subsequent to the 2007 Offerings was $9.99, $8.30 and $12.05 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the total unrecognized compensation expenses related to these units totaled $198.4 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 6.5 years.
	In connection with the grant of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units to executive managing directors as detailed in the table above, the Company also issued an equal number of Class B Shares to those executive managing directors.

	The majority of the Company’s deferred income tax assets relate to tax goodwill in the United States that arose in connection with the 2007 Offerings, as well as subsequent exchanges of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units for Class A Shares. These deferred income tax assets are derived from goodwill recognized for tax purposes that is expected to be subsequently amortized and result in future taxable deductions and cash savings to the Company. The Company entered into a tax receivable agreement to pay a portion of these tax savings to the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs. See Note 15 for additional information regarding the tax receivable agreement.
	For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $9.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, pertaining to state and local income tax credit carryforwards based on management’s assessment of the factors impacting the ability to realize these deferred income tax assets within the limited carryforward period available.

	14	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Due to Related Parties
	Amounts due to related parties relate primarily to future payments owed to the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs under the tax receivable agreement. As further discussed in Note 15, the Company entered into an agreement with the executive managing directors and the Ziffs, whereby the Company would pay them a portion of any tax savings resulting from the purchase of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units at the time of the 2007 Offerings or as a result of any subsequent exchanges of their interests for Class A Shares. The Company made payments under the tax receivable agreement to its executive managing directors and the Ziffs of $29.8 million, $20.4 million and $14.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for tax savings realized, including interest thereon.
	Management Fees and Incentive Income Earned from the Och-Ziff Funds
	The Company earns substantially all of its management fees and incentive income from the Och-Ziff funds, which are considered related parties as the Company manages the operations of and makes investment decisions for these funds.
	Management Fees and Incentive Income Earned from Related Parties and Waived Fees
	Prior to the 2007 Offerings, the Company did not charge management fees or earn incentive income on investments made by the Company’s executive managing directors, employees and other related parties. Following the 2007 Offerings, the Company began charging management fees and earning incentive income on new investments made in the funds by executive managing directors and certain other related parties, including the reinvestment by executive managing directors of the after-tax proceeds from the 2007 Offerings. The Company continues to waive fees for employee investments in the funds.
	The following table presents management fees and incentive income charged on investments held by related parties and amounts waived by the Company for related parties before the impact of eliminations related to the consolidated funds:
		Year Ended December 31,

	Tax Receivable Agreement
	The purchase of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units from the executive managing directors and the Ziffs with the proceeds from the 2007 Offerings, and subsequent taxable exchanges by them of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units for Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (or, at the Company’s option, a cash equivalent), resulted, and, in the case of future exchanges, are anticipated to result, in an increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Och-Ziff Operating Group that would not otherwise have been available. As a result, the Company expects that its future tax liability will be reduced. Pursuant to the tax receivable agreement entered into among the Company, the executive managing directors and the Ziffs, the Company has agreed to pay to the executive managing directors and the Ziffs 85% of the amount of tax savings, if any, actually realized by the Company.
	The Company recorded its initial estimate of future payments under the tax receivable agreement by recording a decrease to paid-in capital and an increase in amounts due to related parties in the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent adjustments to the liability for future payments under the tax receivable agreement related to changes in estimated future tax rates or state income tax apportionment are recognized through current period earnings within general, administrative and other expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	In connection with the departure of certain former executive managing directors since the 2007 Offerings, the right to receive payments under the tax receivable agreement by those former executive managing directors was contributed to the Och-Ziff Operating Group. As a result, the Company now expects to pay to the remaining executive managing directors and the Ziffs approximately 78% (from 85% at the time of the 2007 Offerings) of the amount of cash savings, if any, in federal, state and local income taxes in the United States that the Company actually realizes as a result of the increases in tax basis.
	In connection with the contributions by former executive managing directors in 2011, the Company recorded the following:
		Year Ended
		31-Dec-11
		(dollars in thousands)
	Decrease in amounts payable under tax receivable agreement	$	4,601
	Decrease in deferred income tax assets related to income tax expense expected to be incurred as a result of the payments to the Och-Ziff Operating Group		398
	Increase in paid-in capital		723
	Increase in noncontrolling interests		3,480
	The estimate of the timing and the amount of future payments under the tax receivable agreement involves several assumptions that do not account for the significant uncertainties associated with these potential payments, including an assumption that Och-Ziff Corp will have sufficient taxable income in the relevant tax years to utilize the tax benefits that would give rise to an obligation to make payments. The actual timing and amount of any actual payments under the tax receivable agreement will vary based upon these and a number of other factors.
	The table below presents the maximum amounts that would be payable under the tax receivable agreement assuming that the Company will have sufficient taxable income each year to fully realize the expected tax savings. In light of the numerous factors affecting the Company’s obligation to make such payments, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments may differ materially from those presented in the table.

	Lease Obligations
	The Company has non-cancelable operating leases for its headquarters in New York expiring in 2029 and various other operating leases for its offices in London, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Beijing and Dubai expiring on various dates through 2024. The Company also has operating leases for other locations, as well as operating and capital leases on computer hardware. Certain operating leases allow for rent holiday periods. The Company recognizes expense related to its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term taking into account these rent holiday periods.
	The table below presents total future minimum lease payments for operating leases with original or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2013. Future minimum lease payments for capital leases were not material as of December 31, 2014.

	Total Minimum Lease Payments	$	310,605
	For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis of $19.6 million, $17.7 million, and $17.2 million, respectively, within general, administrative and other expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	Litigation
	From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company is also subject to extensive scrutiny by regulatory agencies globally that have, or may in the future have, regulatory authority over the Company and its business activities. This has resulted, or may in the future result, in regulatory agency investigations, litigation and subpoenas and costs related to each.
	Beginning in 2011, and from time to time thereafter, the Company has received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission and requests for information from the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with an investigation involving the FCPA and related laws.  The investigation concerns an investment by a foreign sovereign wealth fund in some of the Och-Ziff funds in 2007 and investments by some of the funds, both directly and indirectly, in a number of companies in Africa.  At this time, the Company is unable to determine how the investigation will be resolved and what impact, if any, it will have.  An adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Investment Commitments
	From time to time, certain funds consolidated by the Company may have commitments to fund investments. These commitments are funded through contributions from investors in those funds. The Company generally only manages these funds and is not an investor in the funds.
	The Company has committed to fund a portion of the operating budget for a joint venture. The amount of the commitment will be equal to the actual costs incurred in the projects the joint venture manages, as determined by the Company and its joint venture partner. The joint venture periodically returns substantially all of the cash that is contributed by the Company, as expenses incurred by the joint venture are generally reimbursed by the projects it manages.
	Certain of the Company’s executive managing directors, collectively, have capital commitments to a fund managed by the Company of up to $30.0 million. The Company has guaranteed these commitments in the event any executive managing director fails to fund any portion when called by the fund. The Company has historically not funded any of these commitments and does not expect to in the future, as these commitments are expected to be funded by the Company’s executive managing directors individually.
	Other Contingencies
	In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Segment Information	'
	16	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Och-Ziff Funds segment is currently the Company’s only reportable segment and represents the Company’s core business, as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted through this segment. The Och-Ziff Funds segment provides asset management services to the Company’s multi-strategy funds, credit funds, CLOs and other alternative investment vehicles.
	The Company’s Other Operations are primarily comprised of its real estate business, which provides asset management services to its real estate funds. The businesses included in the Company’s Other Operations do not meet the thresholds of reportable business segments under GAAP.
	In addition to analyzing the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, management also reviews its results on an “Economic Income” basis. Economic Income excludes the adjustments described below that are required for presentation of the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, but that management does not consider when evaluating operating performance in any given period. Management, therefore, uses Economic Income as the basis on which it evaluates the Company’s financial performance and makes resource allocation and other operating decisions. Management considers it important that investors review the same operating information that it uses.
	Economic Income is a measure of pre-tax operating performance that excludes the following from the Company’s results on a GAAP basis:
	•	Income allocations to the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs on their direct interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group. Management reviews operating performance at the Och-Ziff Operating Group level, where substantially all of the Company’s operations are performed, prior to making any income allocations.
	•	Reorganization expenses related to the 2007 Offerings, equity-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses, as management does not consider these non-cash expenses to be reflective of operating performance. However, the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash to employees or executive managing directors is included as an expense at the time of settlement.
	•	Changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, net gains on early retirement of debt and net gains (losses) on investments in Och-Ziff funds, as management does not consider these to be reflective of operating performance.
	•	Amounts related to the consolidated Och-Ziff funds, including the related eliminations of management fees and incentive income, as management reviews the total amount of management fees and incentive income earned in relation to total assets under management and fund performance. The Company also defers the recognition of incentive income allocations from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds until all clawback contingencies are resolved, consistent with the revenue recognition policy for the funds the Company does not consolidate.
	In addition, expenses related to compensation and profit-sharing arrangements based on fund investment performance are recognized at the end of the relevant performance measurement period, as management reviews the total compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned by the respective fund.
	Finally, management reviews Economic Income revenues by presenting management fees net of recurring placement and related service fees, rather than considering these fees an expense, and by excluding the impact of eliminations related to the consolidated Och-Ziff funds.
	Management does not regularly review assets by operating segment in assessing operating segment performance and the allocation of company resources; therefore, the Company does not present total assets by operating segment. All interest expense related to outstanding indebtedness is allocated to the Och-Ziff Funds segment.

	On February 6, 2014, the Company announced a cash dividend of $1.12 per Class A Share. The dividend was paid on February 25, 2014 to holders of record as of the close of business on February 18, 2014.
	Aircraft Credit Facility
	On February 14, 2014, we entered into a secured multiple draw term loan agreement (the “Aircraft Loan”) for up to $59.0 million to finance the purchase of a new corporate aircraft expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2015. The Aircraft Loan is guaranteed by OZ Management, OZ Advisors and OZ Advisors II. A $16.0 million borrowing was made to fund a progress payment due in February 2014. Amounts borrowed prior to aircraft delivery to fund progress payments under the aircraft purchase agreement bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.40%.  Following aircraft delivery, the Company will have the option of selecting a 5- or 7-year term with either a fixed or floating interest rate, which rate will vary based on the term selected. There are no financial covenants associated with the Aircraft Loan. No principal payments are due prior to aircraft delivery; however, the Aircraft Loan will become due if the aircraft is not delivered by October 30, 2015. Following aircraft delivery, borrowings under the Aircraft Loan will be payable in installments for the term of the facility, with a balloon payment due upon maturity.  The amount of the installment and balloon payments will be determined based upon the selection of either a 5- or 7-year term. The Aircraft Loan includes other customary terms and conditions, including customary events of default and covenants.
	On March 13, 2014, OZ Management, OZ Advisors, OZ Advisors II and one of the Company’s other subsidiaries entered into a waiver with the lender under the Company’s Aircraft Loan in order to waive any breach or violation of any provision of the Aircraft Loan documents that may result from the restatements and reclassifications discussed in Note 2, including any defaults or events of default that might result therefrom (including by way of cross-default).

Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The most critical of these estimates are related to (i) fair value measurements of the assets and liabilities of the Och-Ziff funds, which impacts the Company’s management fees and incentive income; (ii) the accounting treatment for variable interest entities; and (iii) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets. While management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Consolidation Policies	'
	Consolidation Policies
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Registrant and entities in which it, directly or indirectly, is determined to have a controlling financial interest under the following set of guidelines:
	·	Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)—The Company determines whether, if by design, an entity has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its expected activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. If an entity has either of these characteristics, it is considered a VIE and must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. As substantially all of the funds managed by the Company qualify for the deferral under ASU 2010-10, Amendments to Statement 167 for Certain Investment Funds, the primary beneficiary of the funds the Company manages that are determined to be VIEs is the party that absorbs a majority of the VIEs’ expected losses or receives a majority of the expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests. The Company’s CLOs and a certain joint venture are VIEs and do not qualify for the deferral under ASU 2010-10. Therefore, the primary beneficiary of these entities is the party that (i) has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.
	·	Voting Interest Entities (“VOEs”)—For entities that are not VIEs, the Company consolidates those entities in which it has an equity investment of greater than 50% and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. Additionally, the Company consolidates partnerships in which the Company is a substantive, controlling general partner and the limited partners have no substantive rights to participate in the ongoing governance and operating activities.
	The Company’s funds are typically organized using a “master-feeder” structure. Fund investors, including the Company’s executive managing directors, employees and other related parties to the extent they invest in a given fund, invest directly into the feeder funds. These feeder funds are typically limited partnerships or limited companies that hold direct or indirect interests in a master fund. The master fund, together with its subsidiaries, is the primary investment vehicle for its feeder funds. The Company generally collects its management fees and incentive income from the feeder funds or wholly owned subsidiaries of the feeder funds (“intermediate funds”), and does not collect any management fees or incentive income directly from the master funds. However, the Company also organizes certain funds (e.g. its real estate funds and certain credit funds) without the use of a master-feeder structure. These are typically organized as limited partnerships, in which the Company is the general partner and collects management fees and incentive income directly from these entities; however, for the real estate funds the Company collects management fees directly from the funds’ investors.
	The determination of whether a fund is a VIE or a VOE is based on the facts and circumstances for each individual fund in accordance with the guidelines described above.
	Funds that are VIEs
	Funds that the Company has determined to be VIEs are generally limited partnerships in which the Company serves as general partner but lacks a substantive equity investment and fund investors (i.e. the limited partners) do not have the substantive ability to remove the Company as general partner. In addition, limited companies in which the Company is the investment manager with decision-making rights and fund investors (i.e. the limited company shareholders) lack the substantive ability to remove the Company as the decision maker by a simple majority vote of the unrelated shareholders of the respective fund are also VIEs. As a result, the fund investors are deemed to lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and therefore, the entity is a VIE. In addition, the lack of removal rights results in the Company’s management fees and incentive income being considered a variable interest when determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Finally, the Company’s CLOs are also VIEs since they lack sufficient equity at risk to finance their expected activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, as these entities are financed through senior and subordinated notes.
	The following types of funds are generally VIEs and not consolidated by the Company: (i) master funds, where the Company lacks a variable interest. In these cases, the Company has no direct interest in the master fund. All management fees and incentive income related to these funds are collected from the related but separate feeder funds; (ii) intermediate funds, where the Company’s only variable interest in these entities is limited to the collection of management fees and incentive income. The majority of the expected losses and returns of these VIEs, which are subject to the deferral discussed above, flow through to the related feeder funds that wholly own these intermediate funds; and (iii) other funds, where the Company’s only interest is limited to the collection of management fees and incentive income. The majority of the expected losses and returns of these VIEs, which are subject to the deferral discussed above, flow through to a single investor.
	The types of funds that are VIEs and consolidated by the Company generally include certain real estate and credit funds that qualify for the deferral above, and in which the following factors are present: (i) the Company does not have a substantive equity investment; (ii) fund investors lack substantive rights to remove the Company as general partner; (iii) investors in these funds are related parties of the Company, and therefore their interests when combined with the Company results in the Company and its related party group absorbing the majority of the expected losses and returns of these VIEs (these related parties include the Company’s executive managing directors, as well as fund investors who lack the ability to redeem their investments without the Company’s consent); and (iv) no single investor is expected to absorb a majority of the economics of the entity. Additionally, the Company consolidates the CLOs it manages, which do not qualify for the deferral discussed above. The Company has the power to direct the activities of each CLO that most significantly impact the CLO’s economic performance, and the Company has the right to receive benefits from the CLO in the form of management fees and incentive income that could potentially be significant to the CLO. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the Company’s CLOs.
	Funds that are VOEs
	Funds that the Company has determined to be VOEs are generally limited partnerships in which the Company or its executive managing directors have a substantive equity investment in the entity, or in which fund investors (i.e. the limited partners) have the substantive ability to remove the Company as general partner by a simple majority vote of the unrelated investors of the respective fund. Limited companies in which the Company is the investment manager with decision-making rights and the fund investors (i.e. the limited company shareholders) have the substantive ability to remove the Company as decision maker by a simple majority vote of the unrelated investors of the respective fund are also VOEs. As a result, the fund investors are deemed to have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and therefore, the entity is a VOE.
	The types of funds that are VOEs and not consolidated by the Company are generally the feeder funds for the Company’s multi-strategy funds, as fund investors in these entities have been granted substantive removal rights.
	The types of funds that are VOEs and consolidated by the Company include certain real estate and credit funds in which the Company has a substantive equity investment and fund investors lack substantive removal rights.
Allocations Of Och-Ziff Operating Group Earnings (Losses) And Capital	'
	Allocations of Och-Ziff Operating Group Earnings (Losses) and Capital
	Earnings (losses) of the Och-Ziff Operating Group are allocated on a pro rata basis between the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units, which interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests, and Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units, which interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to Class A Shareholders, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	Paid-in capital of the Och-Ziff Operating Group is allocated pro rata between the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units, which interest is reflected within noncontrolling interests, and Och-Ziff Operating Group B Units, which interest is reflected within the Company’s paid-in capital, in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result, increases in the Och-Ziff Operating Group’s paid-in capital resulting from the amortization of equity-based compensation and Reorganization expenses is allocated pro rata between noncontrolling interests and the Company’s paid-in capital.
	See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s interest in the Och-Ziff Operating Group.
Noncontrolling Interests and Appropriated Retained Earnings (Deficit)	'
	Noncontrolling Interests and Appropriated Retained Earnings (Deficit)
	In addition to the executive managing directors’ and the Ziff’s interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group discussed above, the Company also consolidates certain funds in which noncontrolling interests are present. The Company generally has little or no direct ownership in these funds. Amounts relating to fund investors’ interests in these funds are presented as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets.  Allocations of profits and losses to these interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Investors in these funds presented within noncontrolling interests are generally not able to redeem their interests until the fund liquidates or is otherwise wound-up.
	Additionally, the Company consolidates a credit-focused hedge fund that it manages, wherein investors are able to redeem their interests after an initial lock-up period of one to three years. Amounts relating to these fund investors’ interests in the fund are presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets.  Allocations of profits and losses to these interests are reflected within net income (loss) allocated to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	Upon initial consolidation of a CLO, the Company has elected the fair value option for the notes payable of the consolidated CLOs. The recognition of the initial difference between the fair value of assets and liabilities of consolidated CLOs is treated as an adjustment to appropriated retained earnings (deficit). Net changes in the fair value of consolidated CLO assets and liabilities and related income and expenses are allocated to noncontrolling interests in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). These allocations are then reclassified from noncontrolling interests to appropriated retained earnings (deficit) in the consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are reclassified since the holders of each CLO’s beneficial interests, as opposed to the Company, receive the benefits or absorb the losses of the CLO’s assets.
	See Note 3 for additional information regarding noncontrolling interests.
Revenue Recognition, Management Fees and Incentive Income	'
	Revenue Recognition Policies
	The Company has two principal sources of revenues: management fees and incentive income. These revenues are derived from the Company’s agreements with the Och-Ziff funds. The agreements are automatically renewed on an annual basis unless the agreements are terminated by the general partner or directors of the respective funds. Certain investments held by employees, executive managing directors and other related parties in the Och-Ziff funds are not subject to management fees or incentive income charges. See Note 14 for additional information regarding these waived fees.
	Management Fees
	Management fees for the Company’s hedge funds typically range from 1.5% to 2.5% annually of assets under management in these funds. For the Company’s credit funds and real estate funds, management fees typically range from 0.75% to 1.5% annually based on either the net asset value of these funds or on the amount of capital committed to these platforms by its fund investors. Management fees for the Company’s CLOs are generally 0.50% based on the par value of the collateral and cash held in the CLOs.
	Management fees are recognized over the period during which the related services are performed. Management fees are generally calculated and paid to the Company on a quarterly basis in advance, based on the amount of assets under management at the beginning of the quarter. Management fees are prorated for capital inflows and redemptions during the quarter. Accordingly, changes in the Company’s management fee revenues from quarter to quarter are driven by changes in the quarterly opening balances of assets under management, the relative magnitude and timing of inflows and redemptions during the respective quarter, as well as the impact of differing management fee rates charged on those inflows and redemptions.
	Incentive Income
	The Company earns incentive income based on the performance of the Och-Ziff funds. Incentive income is typically equal to 20% of the net realized and unrealized profits attributable to each fund investor, but it excludes unrealized gains and losses attributable to investments that the Company, as investment manager, believes lack a readily ascertainable market value, are illiquid or should be held until the resolution of a special event or circumstance (“Special Investments”).
	For funds that the Company consolidates, including its real estate funds, certain credit funds and certain other funds, incentive income is recognized by allocating a portion of the net income of the consolidated Och-Ziff funds to the Company rather than to the fund investors (noncontrolling interests). Incentive income allocated to the Company is not reflected as incentive income in consolidated revenues, as these amounts are eliminated in consolidation. The allocation of incentive income to the Company is based on the contractual terms of the relevant fund agreements. As a result, the Company may recognize earnings related to its incentive income allocation from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds prior to the end of their respective performance measurement periods, and therefore it may recognize earnings that are subject to clawback to the extent a consolidated fund generates subsequent losses.
	For the funds that the Company does not consolidate, incentive income is not recognized until the end of the applicable performance measurement period when the amounts are contractually payable, or “crystallized.” Additionally, all of the Company’s hedge funds are subject to a perpetual loss carry forward, or perpetual “high-water mark,” meaning the Company will not be able to earn incentive income with respect to positive investment performance generated for a fund investor in any year following negative investment performance until that loss is recouped, at which point a fund investor’s investment surpasses the high-water mark. The Company earns incentive income on any net profits in excess of the high-water mark.
	The performance measurement period for most of the Company’s assets under management is on a calendar-year basis, and therefore incentive income is generally crystallized annually on December 31. The Company may also recognize incentive income related to fund investor redemptions at other times during the year. Additionally, the Company may recognize a material amount of incentive income during the year related to assets subject to three-year performance measurement periods for which the measurement period has expired (including the rollover of a portion of these assets into one-year measurement periods upon the conclusion of the initial three-year measurement period), as well as assets in certain of its credit funds and certain other funds it manages, which typically have measurement periods beyond one year. The Company may also recognize incentive income for tax distributions related to these assets. Tax distributions are amounts distributed to the Company to cover tax liabilities related to incentive income that has been accrued at the fund level but will not be recognized until the end of the relevant performance measurement period (if at all).
	As of December 31, 2013, the performance measurement periods with respect to approximately $10.6 billion, or 26.4%, of the Company’s assets under management were longer than one year. These assets under management include assets subject to three-year performance measurement periods in the OZ Master Fund and other multi-strategy funds, as well as assets in the Company’s credit funds, CLOs, real estate funds and other alternative investment vehicles it manages. Incentive income related to these assets is based on the cumulative investment performance over a specified measurement period (in the case of CLOs, based on the excess cash flows available to the holders of the subordinated notes), and, to the extent a fund is not consolidated, is not earned until it is no longer subject to repayment to the respective fund. The Company’s ability to earn incentive income on these longer-term assets is also subject to hurdle rates whereby the Company does not earn any incentive income until the investment returns exceed an agreed upon benchmark. However, for a portion of these assets subject to hurdle rates, once the investment performance has exceeded the hurdle rate, the Company may receive a preferential “catch-up” allocation, resulting in a potential recognition to the Company of a full 20% of the net profits attributable to investors in these assets.
Other Revenues	'
	Other Revenues
	Other revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and revenue related to non-business use of the corporate aircraft by Mr. Och. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Revenues earned from non-business use of the corporate aircraft are recognized on an accrual basis based on actual flight hours. See Note 14 for additional information regarding non-business use of the corporate aircraft.
Compensation And Benefits	'
	Compensation and Benefits
	Compensation and benefits is comprised of salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, and discretionary and guaranteed cash bonus expense. The Company generally recognizes compensation and benefits expenses over the related service period. On an annual basis, compensation and benefits comprise a significant portion of total expenses, with discretionary cash bonuses generally comprising a significant portion of total compensation and benefits. These cash bonuses are based on total annual revenues, which are significantly influenced by the amount of incentive income the Company earns in the year. Annual discretionary cash bonuses are generally determined and expensed in the fourth quarter each year.
	Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units
	The Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units are not considered equity under GAAP and no equity-based compensation expense is recognized related to these units when they are granted. Distributions to holders of Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units are included within compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). These distributions are accrued in the quarter in which the related income was earned and are paid out the following quarter at the same time distributions on the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units and dividends on the Company’s Class A Shares are paid.
	Profit-Sharing Arrangements
	The Company also has profit-sharing arrangements whereby certain employees or executive managing directors are entitled to a share of incentive income distributed by certain funds. This incentive income is typically paid to the Company and a portion paid to the participant as investments held by these funds are realized. The Company defers the recognition of any portion of this incentive income to the extent it is subject to clawback and relates to a fund that is not consolidated. See “—Incentive Income” above.  To the extent that the payments to the employees or executive managing directors are probable and reasonably estimable, the Company accrues these payments as compensation expense for GAAP purposes, which may occur prior to the recognition of the related incentive income.
	Equity-Based Compensation
	Compensation expense related to equity-based payments is based on the grant-date fair value and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards with both cliff vesting and graded vesting. An estimated forfeiture assumption is based on current and historical information and is reviewed periodically for any necessary adjustments. A change in the forfeiture assumption is recognized in the period in which such change occurs. See Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s equity-based compensation plan.
	Partner Incentive Plan
	In August 2012, upon the recommendation and approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Board approved The Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC 2012 Partner Incentive Plan (the “PIP”) in order to further the retention of its executive managing directors. Mr. Och will not participate in the PIP, but will continue to participate in the Company’s profits solely through distributions from his existing equity ownership stake.
	Under the terms of the PIP, certain executive managing directors at the time of the IPO may be eligible to receive discretionary cash awards and discretionary grants of Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units over a five-year period that commenced in 2013. Each year, an aggregate of up to 2,770,749 Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units may be granted under the PIP to the participating executive managing directors, for an aggregate of up to 13,853,745 over the five-year period if a determination is made each year to award the maximum number of units. Aggregate discretionary cash awards under the PIP for each year will be capped at 10% of the Company’s incentive income earned during that year, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $39.6 million. The participating executive managing directors, collectively, may receive a maximum aggregate amount of up to $197.8 million over the five-year period if the Company earns enough incentive income each year and if a determination is made each year to award the maximum amount.  In 2013, the Company granted 2,770,749 Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units and aggregate cash awards of $39.6 million to participating executive managing directors under the PIP.
Reorganization Expenses	'
	Reorganization Expenses
	Reorganization expenses relate to the amortization of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units held by the Company’s executive managing directors that were issued in connection with the Reorganization. See Note 10 for additional information.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities for presentation in its consolidated balance sheets when such assets and liabilities are within the same legal entity and related to the same taxing jurisdiction.
	The realization of deferred income tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance is established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance should be established, as well as the amount of such allowance.
	Future events such as changes in tax legislation could have an impact on the provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements in the year these changes occur.
	The Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes within income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Cash And Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments that have an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost plus accrued interest. As of December 31, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held with one major financial institution, and therefore exposes the Company to a certain degree of credit risk. The Company records cash and cash equivalents of the consolidated Och-Ziff funds held at prime brokers within other assets of Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated balance sheets.
Fixed Assets	'
	Fixed Assets
	Fixed assets consist of a corporate aircraft, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, furniture, fixtures and office equipment. Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization within other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates fixed assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be fully recovered. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are calculated using the straight-line method over the following depreciable lives: fifteen years for the corporate aircraft, the shorter of the related lease term or expected useful life for leasehold improvements and three to seven years for all other fixed assets.
Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and other intangible assets are included within other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and relate to the Company’s 2007 acquisition of an additional 25% interest in its domestic real estate operations from one of its joint venture partners. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances justify conducting an interim test. Intangible assets, which are being amortized through 2016, relate to management agreements the Company has with the domestic real estate funds and the Company’s rights to future earnings related to the real estate business. The estimated future annual amortization expense related to these intangible assets is expected to be approximately $748 thousand through 2015 and $613 thousand in 2016. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets of $748 thousand, $751 thousand and $748 thousand was incurred for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included within general, administrative and other in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of each of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Transaction gains and losses are recorded as other expenses within general, administrative and other in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Policies Of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds	'
	Policies of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds
	Certain Och-Ziff funds in which the Company has only minor ownership interests, if any, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The majority ownership interests in these funds are held by the investors in the funds, and these interests are reflected within noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets. The management fees and incentive income from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds are eliminated in consolidation (except for management fees from certain funds, whereby such fees are paid directly to the Company by the fund investors); however, the Company’s share of the earnings from these funds is increased by the amount of the eliminated management fees and incentive income.
	The Och-Ziff funds are considered investment companies for GAAP purposes. Pursuant to specialized accounting guidance for investment companies and the retention of that guidance in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the investments held by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds’ are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair values. As discussed above, the Company has elected the fair value option for the notes payable of its consolidated CLOs.
Income Of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds	'
	Income of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds
	Income of consolidated Och-Ziff funds consists of interest income, dividend income and other miscellaneous items. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. The consolidated Och-Ziff funds may place debt obligations, including bank debt and other participation interests, on non-accrual status and, when necessary, reduce current interest income by charging off any interest receivable when collection of all or a portion of such accrued interest has become doubtful. The balance of non-accrual investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the impact of such investments for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were not significant. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes, if applicable.
Expenses Of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds	'
	Expenses of Consolidated Och-Ziff Funds
	Expenses of consolidated Och-Ziff funds consist of interest expense and other miscellaneous expenses. Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investments, At Fair Value	'
	Investments, at Fair Value
	Investments, at fair value include the consolidated Och-Ziff funds’ investments in securities, investment companies and other investments. Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments of the Och-Ziff funds are determined on a specific identification basis and are included within net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to income of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	The fair value of investments held by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds is based on observable market prices when available. Such values are generally based on the last reported sales price as of the reporting date. In the absence of readily ascertainable market values, the determination of the fair value of investments held by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds may require significant judgment or estimation. For information regarding the valuation of these assets, see Note 4.
Securities Sold Under Agreements To Repurchase	'
	Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
	Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) by the consolidated Och-Ziff funds are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. The funds provide securities to counterparties to collateralize amounts borrowed under repurchase agreements on terms that permit the counterparties to repledge or resell the securities to others. Cash borrowed by the funds is included within securities sold under agreements to repurchase in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of securities transferred to counterparties under such agreements totaled $422.1 million and $358.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in investments, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense incurred on these transactions is included within expenses of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	Notes Payable of Consolidated CLOs, at Fair Value
	The Company has elected the fair value option for the senior secured and subordinated notes payable of consolidated CLOs. The Company has elected the fair value option for the notes payable of the consolidated CLOs to mitigate accounting mismatches between the carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the CLOs. Changes in fair value of the notes are included within net gains of consolidated Och-Ziff funds in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11, as clarified by ASC 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about derivative instruments, repurchase and reverse-repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either (i) offset in the balance sheet, or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement, irrespective of whether they are offset in the balance sheet. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The requirements of ASU 2011-11 were effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, as ASU 2011-11 only affects disclosures about offsetting. No changes were made to the existing guidance on the offsetting of assets and liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet.
	Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
	In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies. ASU 2013-08 provides clarifying guidance to determine if an entity qualifies as an investment company. ASU 2013-08 also requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling interests in other investment companies at fair value. The following disclosures will also be required upon adoption of ASU 2013-08: (i) whether an entity is an investment company and is applying the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies; (ii) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company; and (iii) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. The requirements of ASU 2013-08 are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these updates will have on its financial condition or results of operations.
Fair Value Disclosures	'
	Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of investments that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.
	GAAP prioritizes the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of assets and liabilities and the specific characteristics of the assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively-quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of the following categories:
	•	Level I – Fair value is determined using quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities that would generally be included in this category are certain listed equities, sovereign debt of developed nations and certain listed derivatives.
	•	Level II – Fair value is determined using quotations received from dealers making a market for these assets or liabilities (“broker quotes”), valuations obtained from independent third-party pricing services, the use of models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly market observable as of the measurement date. Consideration is given to the nature of the broker quotes (e.g., indicative or executable). Assets and liabilities for which executable broker quotes are significant inputs in determining the fair value of an asset or liability are included within Level II. The types of assets and liabilities that would generally be included in this category are certain corporate bonds, certain credit default swap contracts, certain bank debt securities, certain commercial real estate debt, less liquid and restricted equity securities, forward contracts and certain over the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.
	•	Level III – Fair value is determined using pricing inputs that are unobservable in the market and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The fair value of assets and liabilities in this category may require significant judgment or estimation in determining fair value of the assets or liabilities. The fair value of these assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, relevant broker quotes, models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly or indirectly market observable. Assets and liabilities for which indicative broker quotes are significant inputs in determining the fair value of an asset or liability are included within Level III. The types of assets and liabilities that would generally be included in this category include real estate investments, equity and debt securities issued by private entities, limited partnerships, certain corporate bonds, certain credit default swap contracts, certain bank debt securities, certain commercial real estate debt, certain OTC derivatives, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, as well as the notes payable of consolidated CLOs.
	In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
