Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization Cision Ltd., a Cayman Islands company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Cision”, or the “Company”), is a leading provider of cloud-based software, media intelligence and distribution services, and other related professional services to the marketing and public relations industry. Communications professionals use the Company’s products and services to identify and connect with media influencers, manage industry relationships, create and distribute content, monitor media coverage, perform advanced analytics and measure the effectiveness of their campaigns. The Company has primary offices in Chicago, Illinois, Beltsville, Maryland, Ann Arbor, Michigan, New York, New York, Cleveland, Ohio, and Albuquerque, New Mexico with additional offices in the United States, as well as Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. On March 19, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Capitol Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: CLAC; “Capitol”), a public investment vehicle, whereby the parties agreed to merge, resulting in the Company becoming a publicly listed company. This merger closed on June 29, 2017 (“Merger”), which resulted in the following (the “Transactions”):  Holders of 490,078 shares of Capitol common stock sold in its initial public offering exercised their rights to convert those shares to cash at a conversion price of approximately $10.04 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $4.9 million. The per share conversion price of approximately $10.04 for holders of public shares electing conversion was paid out of Capitol’s trust account, which had a balance immediately prior to the closing of approximately $326.3 million.  Of the remaining funds in the trust account: (i) approximately $16.2 million was used to pay Capitol’s transaction expenses and (ii) the balance of approximately $305.2 million was released to Cision to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to pay down $294.0 million of the 2016 Second Lien Credit Facility, plus a 1% fee and interest. The debt repayment occurred in July 2017.  Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions (including as a result of the conversions described above and certain forfeitures of Capitol common stock and warrants immediately prior to the closing), there were 120,512,402 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 24,375,596 shares of common stock of Cision issued and outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2018, all warrants were converted to 6,342,989 common shares.  Upon the closing, Capitol’s common stock, warrants and units ceased trading, and Cision’s common stock and warrants began trading on the NYSE and NYSE MKT, respectively, under the symbol “CISN” and “CISN WS,” respectively.  Upon the completion of the Transactions, Canyon Holdings (Cayman), L.P., (“Cision Owner”) an exempted limited partnership formed for the purpose of owning and acquiring Cision through a series of transactions, received 82,075,873 shares of common stock of the Company and 1,969,841 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company, in exchange for all of the share capital and $450.5 million in Convertible Preferred Equity Certificates (“CPECs”) of Cision. Cision Owner also obtained the right to receive certain additional securities of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. As a result of the Company’s share price meeting certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement in October 2017 and September 2018 the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares to Cision Owner.  At the closing of the Transactions, Cision Owner held approximately 68% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and stockholders of Capitol held approximately 32% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Cision Owner initiated a series of transactions that resulted in its holding dropping below 50% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company; causing the Company to cease to qualify as a “controlled company” under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Merger Agreement, the Transactions and items related thereto are more fully described in the Company’s proxy statement/prospectus filed on June 15, 2017.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Earnings per Share The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair statement have been included. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2019. Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform with the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 or the “new revenue standard”) during the fourth quarter of 2018, effective as of January 1, 2018. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, software development costs, useful lives of property, equipment and internal use software, intangible assets and goodwill, contingent liabilities, and fair value of equity-based awards and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value pursuant to a fair value hierarchy based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps: • Identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer. • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. • Determination of the transaction price. • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. • Recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company derives its revenue from access to its cloud based technology platform and related media management and analysis services sold on a subscription basis. Revenue is also derived from the distribution of press releases on both a subscription basis and separately from non-subscription arrangements. Dependent on the nature of the distribution contract with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue on subscription basis over the contract term of the subscription, or on a per-transaction basis when the press releases are made available to the public. Subscription services include access to the Company’s software platform and associated hosting services, content and content updates, customer support and media management and analysis services. Subscription services are recognized ratably over the contractual period that the services are delivered, beginning on the date in which such service is made available to the customer. Subscription agreements are typically one year in length and are non-cancelable, though customers have the right to terminate their agreements if the Company materially breaches its obligations under the agreement. Software subscription agreements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software at any time. The Company does not charge customers an upfront fee for use of the platform and implementation activities are insignificant and not subject to a separate fee. In certain cases, the Company charges annual membership fees which are recognized ratably over the one-year membership period. The Company accounts for a contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified and payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The transaction price for subscription arrangements and services is generally fixed at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days. For transaction-based services, which predominantly comprise press release distributions, customers are invoiced in the month the release is made available to the public. In the event that a customer arrangement contains multiple services, the Company determines whether such goods or services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately in the arrangement. When arrangements contain multiple performance obligations, further evaluation is usually not required given such performance obligations are generally recognized over time using the same measure of progress and thus, are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Otherwise, when allocating the transaction price in the arrangement, the Company uses the estimated standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation. In order to estimate the standalone selling prices, the Company relies on the price charged for stand-alone sales, expected cost plus margin and adjusted market assessment approaches. Revenue is then recognized over the pattern of performance as each obligation is satisfied as discussed above. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s remaining performance obligations were $171.7 million, approximately 99.3% of which is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $ 63.7 Recent Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Topic 842 includes multiple changes with one of the most significant impacts being the addition of a right-to-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability to the balance sheet for operating leases. A ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. An additional change under Topic 842 is the lease term evaluation. Under Topic 842, a leasee shall extend the lease term beyond the original contract term if the company is reasonably certain to exercise their renewal option. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $73.2 million and $85.3 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The asset is of $ 12.3 1.8 10.5 In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” (the “Act”) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects; however, it does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) , which modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The ASU eliminates the requirement to disclosure and amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Entities will now be required to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits- Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20) , which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pensions and other postretirement plans. The ASU adds and removes disclosure requirements from the current standard in an effort to improve the effectiveness of retirement benefit disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2020, early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) , which clarifies the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. The ASU requires companies to capitalize the implementation costs associated with cloud computing service arrangements, regardless as to whether the contract contains a license. The ASU is effective for annual periods in 2020, including interim periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price by the Company to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Prime. The amounts related to taxes and intangible assets shown below are preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	5. Leases The Company has various non-cancelable operating leases, primarily related to office real estate and datacenters, that expire through 2035 and generally contain renewal options for up to five years. Under ASC 842, the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. The Company will monitor events or changes in circumstances that impact the timing or amount of future lease payments and will adjust the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset as necessary. For office leases beginning in 2019 and later, the Company accounts for lease components (components of a contract for which the Company economically benefits from their use and is not highly interrelated with other right of use assets underlying the contract such as base rent) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). For datacenter leases beginning in 2019 and later, the Company elected the practical expedient to combine its lease and non-lease components that meet the defined criteria and will account for the lease component under Topic 842. The Company has no significant financing leases. Lastly, the Company has not entered into any future office space leases that will create significant rights and obligations for the Company. At inception of a contract, the Company determines if the contract contains a lease based on requirements of ASC 842. If a lease with a term greater than 1 year is identified, the Company will add a ROU asset and lease liability to the balance sheet. The Company has elected the practical expedient and expenses all leases with a contract term of 1 year or less. The Company recognizes a lease liability based on the net present value of total lease payments which utilizes an implicit discount rate based on the Company’s collateralized borrowing rate placed on a yield curve. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. To derive the ROU asset, the Company makes required adjustments, such as indirect costs and prepaid or deferred balances, to the lease liability.

Directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services for the Company, are eligible for grants under the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan reserved up to 6,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms, subject to certain adjustments.

Restricted stock units are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant. Conditions of the performance-based restricted stock units are based on achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives within the next year and vest over four years based on continuing employment. Conditions of the performance-based stock options are also based on achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives within the next year, vest over four years based on continuing employment, and have an expiration of ten years.

Net Income (Loss) Per share	8. Net Income (Loss) Per share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has excluded earn out shares as described in Note 1, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company has excluded the potential effect of warrants to purchase shares of common stock totaling 800,349 shares, additional earn out shares, as described in Note 1, and the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards, as described in Note 7, in the calculation of diluted per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted income (loss) per common share is the same as basic income (loss) per common share for all periods presented below.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the tax impact of items discrete to the fiscal period. The annual effective tax rate calculation excludes subsidiaries with pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate to be approximately 42.4% in 2019. The provision for income taxes results in an effective tax rate of 39.1% for the three months ended March 31,2019. The difference between the annual effective tax rate and the effective tax rate in the quarter is due to subsidiaries with pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized and subsidiaries with pre-tax losses in jurisdictions with a zero percent tax rate that have been removed from pre-tax book income before the annual effective tax rate is applied. The amount of pre-tax book loss removed is approximately $5.6 million. The difference also includes the impact of a $3.2 million benefit primarily related to a change to the valuation allowance that is discrete to the fiscal period. This rate includes the impact of permanent differences and a decrease in the valuation allowance for certain disallowed interest in the United States and United Kingdom. The United States permanent differences are primarily related to the gain on the sale of the iContact assets related to Goodwill, nondeductible transaction costs, nondeductible public company costs, nondeductible equity compensation and income from Canadian subsidiaries that is taxable in the United States as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The United Kingdom permanent differences are primarily related to nondeductible interest expense. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was a benefit of 97.7%. The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 resulted from a pre-tax loss and the impact of pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can recognized, the impact of permanent differences and the increase in the valuation allowance expected to be necessary at the end of the year for certain disallowed interest. The Company’s estimates related to liabilities for uncertain tax positions require it to make judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If it determines it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, the Company records the impact of the position in its condensed consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstances and information available. As of March 31, 2019, the Company believes the reasonably possible total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that could increase or decrease in the next twelve months as a result of various statute expirations, audit closures, and/or tax settlements would not be material to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Earnings per Share	Basis of Presentation and Earnings per Share The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair statement have been included. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2019. Certain prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform with the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 or the “new revenue standard”) during the fourth quarter of 2018, effective as of January 1, 2018.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, software development costs, useful lives of property, equipment and internal use software, intangible assets and goodwill, contingent liabilities, and fair value of equity-based awards and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value pursuant to a fair value hierarchy based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps: • Identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer. • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. • Determination of the transaction price. • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. • Recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company derives its revenue from access to its cloud based technology platform and related media management and analysis services sold on a subscription basis. Revenue is also derived from the distribution of press releases on both a subscription basis and separately from non-subscription arrangements. Dependent on the nature of the distribution contract with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue on subscription basis over the contract term of the subscription, or on a per-transaction basis when the press releases are made available to the public. Subscription services include access to the Company’s software platform and associated hosting services, content and content updates, customer support and media management and analysis services. Subscription services are recognized ratably over the contractual period that the services are delivered, beginning on the date in which such service is made available to the customer. Subscription agreements are typically one year in length and are non-cancelable, though customers have the right to terminate their agreements if the Company materially breaches its obligations under the agreement. Software subscription agreements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software at any time. The Company does not charge customers an upfront fee for use of the platform and implementation activities are insignificant and not subject to a separate fee. In certain cases, the Company charges annual membership fees which are recognized ratably over the one-year membership period. The Company accounts for a contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party’s rights can be identified and payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The transaction price for subscription arrangements and services is generally fixed at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days. For transaction-based services, which predominantly comprise press release distributions, customers are invoiced in the month the release is made available to the public. In the event that a customer arrangement contains multiple services, the Company determines whether such goods or services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately in the arrangement. When arrangements contain multiple performance obligations, further evaluation is usually not required given such performance obligations are generally recognized over time using the same measure of progress and thus, are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Otherwise, when allocating the transaction price in the arrangement, the Company uses the estimated standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation. In order to estimate the standalone selling prices, the Company relies on the price charged for stand-alone sales, expected cost plus margin and adjusted market assessment approaches. Revenue is then recognized over the pattern of performance as each obligation is satisfied as discussed above. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s remaining performance obligations were $171.7 million, approximately 99.3% of which is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $ 63.7
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Topic 842 includes multiple changes with one of the most significant impacts being the addition of a right-to-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability to the balance sheet for operating leases. A ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. An additional change under Topic 842 is the lease term evaluation. Under Topic 842, a leasee shall extend the lease term beyond the original contract term if the company is reasonably certain to exercise their renewal option. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $73.2 million and $85.3 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The asset is of $ 12.3 1.8 10.5 In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” (the “Act”) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects; however, it does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) , which modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The ASU eliminates the requirement to disclosure and amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Entities will now be required to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits- Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20) , which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pensions and other postretirement plans. The ASU adds and removes disclosure requirements from the current standard in an effort to improve the effectiveness of retirement benefit disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2020, early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) , which clarifies the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. The ASU requires companies to capitalize the implementation costs associated with cloud computing service arrangements, regardless as to whether the contract contains a license. The ASU is effective for annual periods in 2020, including interim periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
