	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements of Allegion plc, an Irish public limited company, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion" or "the Company"), reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Allegion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented.
	The Company has revised its statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to correct for an immaterial error.  The revision was made to correctly reflect a $1.2 million cash inflow within 'other investing activities, net' with a corresponding offset made to the ‘effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents’ line item in the statement of cash flows.  The revisions did not change the total net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the total obligation is fixed at the reporting date, and for which no specific guidance currently exists. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." ASU 2013-05 clarifies the application of GAAP to the release of cumulative translation adjustments related to changes of ownership in or within foreign entities, including step acquisitions. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." With certain exceptions, ASU 2013-11 requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 on either a prospective or retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The requirements of ASU 2013-11 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-20 (Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations) and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The ASU redefines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components of an entity that (1) has been disposed of by sale or other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and (2) represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. According to the ASU, a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and results includes the disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity investment, or other major parts of an entity. The ASU is effective prospectively for disposals or components classified as held for sale in periods on or after December 15, 2014. The Company has not assessed what impact, if any, the ASU 2014-08 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

	A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has a credit agreement providing for (i) $1.0 billion of Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities, consisting of a $500 million “tranche A” Term Loan Facility due in 2018 (the "Term Loan A Facility") and a $500 million "tranche B" Term Loan Facility due in 2020 (the "Term Loan B Facility," and together with the Term Loan A Facility, the "Term Facilities"), and (ii) a $500 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver") maturing in 2018. The Company refers to these credit facilities as its "Senior Secured Credit Facilities." In the first quarter of 2014, the Company repaid $7.5 million of principal on its Term Loan A and Term Loan B Facilities in accordance with the terms of its senior secured credit facility. At March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and had $29.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the availability under the Revolver.
	Outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities currently accrue interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility is 2.25%, with LIBOR for the Term Loan B Facility to be subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolver and the Term Loan A Facility is subject to a credit facility rating-based pricing grid with the LIBOR ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%. The margin for Term Loan A Facility borrowings was 2.00% as of March 31, 2014.
	Senior Notes
	A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has issued $300 million of 5.75% senior notes due 2021 (the "Senior Notes").

The Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2014. The Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2021.
	At March 31, 2014, the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings was 2.6% under the Term Loan Facilities and 5.75% under the Senior Notes.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments	'
	Financial Instruments
	In the normal course of business, the Company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with currency rate exposures. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
	On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, a cash flow hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or as an undesignated derivative. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.
	The fair market value of derivative instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.
	The Company assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be a highly effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
	Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.
	Currency Hedging Instruments
	The net notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $179.4 million and $209.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, losses of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, net of tax, respectively, were included in AOCI related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a loss of $0.7 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At March 31, 2014, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was approximately 9 months.
	The fair values of derivative instruments included within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:
		Asset derivatives				Liability derivatives
	In millions	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,				December 31,
		2014		2013		2014				2013

	Asset and liability derivatives included in the table above are recorded within Other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively.
	The amounts associated with derivatives designated as hedges affecting Net earnings and AOCI for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

	Concentration of Credit Risk
	The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts consist of a number of investment grade major international financial institutions. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, the credit ratings and the concentration of risk in these financial institutions are monitored on a continuous basis and present no significant credit risk to the Company.

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]	'
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions	'
	Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
	The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees.
	Pension Plans
	The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on an average pay formula while most plans for collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key employees.
	The components of the Company’s net periodic pension benefit costs for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
		U.S.						Non-U.S.
	In millions	2014			2013			2014			2013

	Plan net actuarial losses	0.5			1			0.7			0.4
	Net periodic pension benefit cost	$	2.5		$	3.2		$	1.9		$	1.4
	The Company made required and discretionary employer contributions of $0.5 million and $0.3 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additional contributions of approximately $16.5 million are expected during the remainder of 2014.
	Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
	The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits that cover certain eligible retired employees. The Company funds postretirement benefit obligations principally on a pay as you go basis. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurement	'
	Fair Value Measurement
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:
	•	Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	•	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
	The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2014 were as follows:
		Fair value measurements						Total

	The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:
	•	Marketable securities – These securities include investments in publicly traded stock of non-U.S. companies held by non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The fair value is obtained for the securities based on observable market prices quoted on public stock exchanges.
	•	Derivative instruments – These instruments include forward foreign currency contracts and instruments related to non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.
	•	Debt – These securities are recorded at cost and include senior notes maturing through 2021. The fair value of the long-term debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar assets.
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	These methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2014 are the same as those used at December 31, 2013. There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

ShareBased_Compensation

Share-Based Compensation	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2014
Share-based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company records share-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognizes compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued in its financial statements. The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs) and deferred compensation.
	Compensation Expense
	Share-based compensation expense relates to continuing operations and is included in Selling and administrative expenses. The expenses recognized for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
	In millions	2014				2013
	Stock options	$	1.1			$	0.6
	RSUs	1.9				0.9
	PSUs	0.3				0.2
	Deferred compensation	0.2				0.1
	Pre-tax expense	3.5				1.8
	Tax benefit	(1.3		)		(0.7		)
	After-tax expense	$	2.2			$	1.1
	Stock Options/RSUs
	Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. Grants issued during the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
		2014							2013
		Number			Weighted-				Number	Weighted-
		granted			average fair				granted	average fair
					value per award					value per award
	Stock options	185,297			$	19.56			115,800	$	16.5
	RSUs	77,499			$	54.13			47,875	$	52.6
	The fair value of each of the Company's stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3-year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date.
	The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the three months ended March 31:
		2014			2013
	Dividend yield	0.6	%		1.6	%
	Volatility	36.55	%		42.14	%
	Risk-free rate of return	1.94	%		0.85	%
	Expected life	6.0 years			5.1 years
	For grants issued prior to December 1, 2013, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded options on Ingersoll Rand's stock. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical data is used to estimate forfeitures within Ingersoll Rand's valuation model. The expected life of the Ingersoll Rand's stock option awards is derived from historical experience and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.
	For grants issued on or after December 1, 2013, expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the implied volatility of a group of the Company’s peers due to the lack of trading history for the Company's ordinary shares. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical peer data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Company’s valuation model. The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards granted post separation is derived from the simplified approach based on the weighted average time to vest and the remaining contractual term and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.
	Performance Shares
	The Company has a Performance Share Program for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares unless deferred. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.2 million shares.50%50%
	In December 2013, the Company’s Compensation Committee issued PSUs that are earned based upon the total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s share performance compared to the TSR of the 41 companies currently comprising the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over the three-year performance period based on the change in the 30 day average price for the index from December 2013 to the 30 day average price for the index in December 2016. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
	In March 2014, the Company’s Compensation Committee issued PSUs that were based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each performance period by EPS growth, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the industrial group of companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over the one-year, two-year, and three-year performance periods. The fair values of the market condition were estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix.
	Deferred Compensation
	The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.

These actions included workforce reductions, as well as the closure and consolidation of manufacturing facilities, in an effort to increase efficiencies across multiple lines of business. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $2.3 million accrued for costs associated with its ongoing restructuring actions, of which a majority will be paid within one year.
	The Company will begin another restructuring plan in the second quarter of 2014 to reorganize its EMEIA operations to eliminate overhead and increase operational efficiency. Restructuring charges related to this plan may be material.

	The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 30.3% and 32.3%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2013 is primarily due to favorable changes in the mix of pre-tax income earned in lower rate jurisdictions, partially offset by lower discrete tax benefits.

	Earnings Per Share (EPS)
	Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans.
	Basic and Diluted EPS for all periods prior to the Spin-off reflect the number of distributed shares on December 1, 2013, or 96.0 million shares. These shares are treated as issued and outstanding from January 1, 2013 for purposes of calculating historical basic EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At the time of the Spin-off, stock options and RSU awards were converted to awards of Allegion, and therefore there were no dilutive securities outstanding for historical periods.
	The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended March 31:
	In millions	2014	2013
	Weighted-average number of basic shares	96.3	96

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Business Segment Information	'
	Business Segment Information
	The Company classifies its businesses into the following three reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Americas, EMEIA and Asia Pacific.
	Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that the Company’s chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews, and compensation. For these reasons, the Company believes that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges, from Operating income to arrive at a Segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base its operating decisions. The Company defines Segment operating margin as Segment operating income as a percentage of Net revenues.
	Effective January 1, 2013, a product line was transferred from the Asia Pacific segment to the Americas segment. Within the Quarterly Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013, goodwill was reclassified from the Asia Pacific segment to the Americas segment.
	A summary of operations by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31 was as follows:
	In millions	2014			2013
	Net revenues
	Americas	$	345.4		$	351.3

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Commitments and Contingencies
	The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product warranty matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
	Environmental Matters
	The Company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities.
	The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal.
	In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $10.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $2.9 million and $2.9 million relate to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.
	Warranty Liability
	Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.
	The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
	In millions	2014			2013
	Balance at beginning of period	$	9.9		$	9.6
	Reductions for payments	(1.6		)	(1.3		)
	Accruals for warranties issued during the current period	1.8			0.9
	Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties	(0.7		)	0.1
	Translation	—			(0.1		)
	Balance at end of period	$	9.4		$	9.2
	Standard product warranty liabilities are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the total obligation is fixed at the reporting date, and for which no specific guidance currently exists. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." ASU 2013-05 clarifies the application of GAAP to the release of cumulative translation adjustments related to changes of ownership in or within foreign entities, including step acquisitions. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." With certain exceptions, ASU 2013-11 requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 on either a prospective or retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The requirements of ASU 2013-11 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-20 (Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations) and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The ASU redefines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components of an entity that (1) has been disposed of by sale or other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and (2) represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. According to the ASU, a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and results includes the disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity investment, or other major parts of an entity. The ASU is effective prospectively for disposals or components classified as held for sale in periods on or after December 15, 2014. The Company has not assessed what impact, if any, the ASU 2014-08 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
