Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended, and the Company's financial position as of, March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results or financial position that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for other future periods. The financial results from the Company's operations outside of the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, and certain subsidiaries in the Philippines, are reported and consolidated on a two-month delayed basis (fiscal year-end of October 31) as permitted by GAAP in order to provide sufficient time for accumulation of their results. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Certain prior period amounts among the segments have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company's reported consolidated results. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The Company consolidates the liabilities of its deferred compensation plan and the related assets, which are held in a rabbi trust and considered a variable interest entity ("VIE") of the Company. The rabbi trust was created to fund the liabilities of the Company's deferred compensation plan. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust because the Company directs the activities of the trust and can use the assets of the trust to satisfy the liabilities of the Company's deferred compensation plan . At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the liabilities of the deferred compensation plan were $9,357,000 and $9,861,000 , respectively, which represented obligations of the Company rather than of the rabbi trust, and the values of the assets held in the related rabbi trust were $15,971,000 and $15,881,000 , respectively. These liabilities and assets are included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" and "Other noncurrent assets," respectively, on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company owns 51% of the capital stock of Lloyd Warwick International Limited ("LWI"). The Company has also agreed to provide financial support to LWI of up to approximately $10,000,000 . Because of this controlling financial interest, and because Crawford has the obligation to absorb certain of LWI's losses through the additional financial support that LWI may require, LWI is considered a VIE of the Company. LWI also does not meet the business scope exception, as Crawford provides more than half of its financial support, and because LWI lacks sufficient equity at risk to permit it to carry on its activities without this additional financial support. Creditors of LWI have no recourse to Crawford's general credit. Accordingly, Crawford is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates LWI. Total assets and liabilities of LWI as of March 31, 2016 were $8,308,000 and $11,306,000 , respectively. Total assets and liabilities of LWI as of December 31, 2015 were $8,831,000 and $11,841,000 , respectively. Included in LWI's total liabilities is a loan from Crawford of $9,867,000 and $10,214,000 as of March, 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. |

Business Acquisitions | Business Acquisitions On December 1, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of GAB Robins Holdings UK Limited ("GAB Robins"), a U.K. based international loss adjusting and claims management provider, for cash consideration of $71,812,000 . During 2015, the Company paid an additional $2,182,000 related to net debt and net working capital adjustments under the terms of the acquisition agreement, which increased the purchase price to $73,994,000 . The purchase was accounted for under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805-10 as a business combination under the acquisition method. As a requirement of accounting under the acquisition method, all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests were recognized using fair value measurements. During the measurement period since the acquisition, adjustments were made to the preliminary valuations under purchase accounting for receivables, prepaid and other current assets acquired, other current liabilities assumed, and a payment for adjustments to net debt and net working capital based on additional information gathered. These measurement period adjustments did not affect amounts recorded to the income statement. The measurement period has ended and the acquisition accounting has been finalized during the period ended March 31, 2016. The purchase price included $6,329,000 placed in escrow for up to two years related to certain acquired contingencies per the terms of the acquisition agreement. As of March 31, 2016 , $1,600,000 of the escrowed amount has been released. The acquisition was funded primarily through borrowings in the U.K. under the Company's credit facility. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in the GAB Robins acquisition included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements on the two-month delayed basis as discussed above: (in thousands) Opening Balance Sheet, Adjusted as of March 31, 2016 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,735 Accounts receivable 19,182 Unbilled revenues, at estimated billable amounts 6,791 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 7,443 Property and equipment 4,083 Goodwill 18,986 Intangible assets 40,535 Other noncurrent assets 1,933 Deferred income tax assets 2,120 Total Assets $ 106,808 Liabilities Other current liabilities $ 22,741 Noncurrent liabilities 4,580 Total Liabilities 27,321 Net Assets Acquired, Before Noncontrolling Interests 79,487 Noncontrolling interests 5,493 Net Assets Acquired, Net of Noncontrolling Interests $ 73,994 Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships, trademarks, internally developed software and non-compete agreements. The intangibles acquired are made up largely of customer relationships of $38,210,000 being amortized over an estimated life of 14 years, and the remaining intangible assets listed above are being amortized over periods ranging from two to five years. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 the Company recognized amortization expense of $896,000 in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements related to these intangibles. Goodwill is attributable to the synergies of the work force in place and business resources as a result of the combination of the companies. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, GAB Robins accounted for $20,845,000 and $16,275,000 of the Company's consolidated revenues before reimbursements, respectively. The results of GAB Robins are reported in the International segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , GAB Robins contribution to the Company's earnings and earnings per share were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and as such, no pro forma information is required to be presented. On December 15, 2015, the Company acquired an additional 36% of the capital stock of GAB Robins Aviation Limited, a U.K.-based international aviation loss adjusting and claims management provider, for $3,672,000 , bringing its total ownership interest to 95% . The Company acquired its initial 59% ownership interest in GAB Robins Aviation Limited through its acquisition of GAB Robins and because of its controlling financial interest, the Company consolidates GAB Robins Aviation Limited. The Company accounted for this subsequent acquisition as an equity transaction in line with ASC 810-10. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In March, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This update was issued as part of a simplification effort for the accounting of share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this amendment may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting." This update eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods thereafter, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this amendment may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Financial Accounting for Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Financial Accounting for Leases." Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, this ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this update may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Under ASU 2014-09, companies will be required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and modify guidance for multiple-element arrangements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The one year deferral of the effective date of this standard changes the effective date for the Company to January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date. During March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent consideration. Additionally, ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," was issued on April 14, 2016 to clarify the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. Both of the above amendments to the guidance were issued with the same effective dates as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating its arrangements with customers and revenue streams against the requirements of this standard. Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." This ASU amended guidance on internal use software to clarify how customers in cloud computing arrangements should determine whether the arrangement includes a software license. The new guidance specifies that these licenses should be accounted for as licenses of intangible assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has adopted this guidance and it did not have any material effect on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis In February 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidation (topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations (public and private companies) that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 with no impact to its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments In February 2011, the Company entered into a U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar ("CAD") cross currency basis swap with an initial notional amount of CAD 34,749,000 as an economic hedge to an intercompany note payable to the U.S. parent by a Canadian subsidiary. The cross currency basis swap requires the Canadian subsidiary to deliver quarterly payments of CAD 589,000 to the counterparty and entitles the U.S. parent to receive quarterly payments of U.S. $593,000 . The Canadian subsidiary also makes interest payments to the counterparty based on 3-month Canada Bankers Acceptances plus a spread, and the U.S. parent receives payments based on U.S. 3-month LIBOR. The cross currency basis swap expires on September 30, 2025. The Company has elected to not designate this swap as a hedge of the intercompany note from the Canadian subsidiary. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this swap, as well as changes in the value of the intercompany note, are recorded as gains or losses in "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in the Compan y's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the swap and are expected to substantially offset one another. The changes in the fair value of the cross currency basis swap will not exactly offset changes in the value of the intercompany note, as the fair value of this swap is determined based on forward rates while the value of the intercompany note is determined based on end of period spot rates. The net gains and losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were not significant. The Company believes there have been no material changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparty to this cross currency basis swap agreement and believes the risk of nonperformance by such party is minimal. This swap agreement contains a provision providing that if the Company is in default under its credit facility, the Company may also be deemed to be in default under the swap agreement. If there were such a default, the Company could be required to contemporaneously settle some or all of the obligation under the swap agreement at values determined at the time of default. At March 31, 2016 , no such default existed, and the Company had no assets posted as collateral under its swap agreement. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate may change periodically due to changes in enacted tax rates, fluctuations in the mix of income earned from the Company's various domestic and international operations, which are subject to income taxes at different rates, the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and amounts related to uncertain income tax positions. At March 31, 2016 , the Company estimates that its effective income tax rate for 2016 will be approximately 38% after considering known discrete items. The Company's effective tax rate was lower in the 2016 period compared with the comparable period of 2015 primarily due to the permanent extension of the U.S. federal research and development credit, fluctuations in the mix of income earned, changes in enacted tax rates, and lower current year losses in jurisdictions with lower tax rates or in jurisdictions where the losses are unable to be benefited. |

The Company is not required to make any additional contributions to its U.S. or U.K. defined benefit pension plans for the remainder of 2016; however, the Company expects to make additional contributions of approximately $6,000,000 and $4,735,000 to its U.S. and U.K. plans, respectively, during the remainder of 2016 . |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company per Common Share | Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company per Common Share The Company computes earnings per share of its non-voting Class A Common Stock ("CRDA") and voting Class B Common Stock ("CRDB") using the two-class method, which allocates the undistributed earnings in each period to each class on a proportionate basis. The Company's Board of Directors has the right, but not the obligation, to declare higher dividends on the CRDA shares than on the CRDB shares, subject to certain limitations. In periods when the dividend is the same for CRDA and CRDB or when no dividends are declared or paid to either class, the two-class method generally will yield the same earnings per share for CRDA and CRDB. During the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 the Board of Directors declared a higher dividend on CRDA than on CRDB. The computations of basic net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company per common share were as follows: Three months ended March 31, March 31, (in thousands, except per share amounts) CRDA CRDB CRDA CRDB Earnings per share - basic: Numerator: Allocation of undistributed earnings (loss) $ 2,907 $ 2,350 $ (214 ) $ (173 ) Dividends paid 2,138 1,235 2,138 1,235 Net income attributable to common shareholders, basic $ 5,045 $ 3,585 $ 1,924 $ 1,062 Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic 30,545 24,690 30,521 24,690 Earnings per share - basic $ 0.17 $ 0.15 $ 0.06 $ 0.04 The computations of diluted net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company per common share were as follows: Three months ended March 31, March 31, (in thousands, except per share amounts) CRDA CRDB CRDA CRDB Earnings per share - diluted: Numerator: Allocation of undistributed earnings (loss) $ 2,918 $ 2,339 $ (215 ) $ (172 ) Dividends paid 2,138 1,235 2,138 1,235 Net income attributable to common shareholders, diluted $ 5,056 $ 3,574 $ 1,923 $ 1,063 Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic 30,545 24,690 30,521 24,690 Weighted-average effect of dilutive securities 265 — 491 — Weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted 30,810 24,690 31,012 24,690 Earnings per share - diluted $ 0.16 $ 0.14 $ 0.06 $ 0.04 Listed below are the shares excluded from the denominator in the above computation of diluted earnings per share for CRDA because their inclusion would have been antidilutive: Three months ended (in thousands) March 31, March 31, Shares underlying stock options excluded due to the options' respective exercise prices being greater than the average stock price during the period 471 15 Performance stock grants excluded because performance conditions have not been met (1) 1,097 1,488 ________________________________________________ (1) Compensation cost is recognized for these performance stock grants based on expected achievement rates; however, no consideration is given to these performance stock grants when calculating earnings per share until the performance measurements have been achieved. The performance measurements for approximately 574,000 shares of the Company's outstanding performance stock grants as of March 31, 2016 are expected to be achieved by December 31, 2016 . The following table details shares issued during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 . These shares are included from their dates of issuance in the weighted-average common shares used to compute basic earnings per share for CRDA in the table above. There were no shares of CRDB issued during any of these periods.

Under the 2014 Repurchase Authorization, repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions at such times and for such prices as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable contractual and regulatory restrictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Company did not repurchase any shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 , the Company repurchased 17,700 shares of CRDA at an average cost of $7.79 per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares of CRDB during either of these periods. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and that are categorized using the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2016 Significant Other Significant Quoted Prices in Observable Unobservable Active Markets Inputs Inputs (in thousands) Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 10,020 $ 10,020 $ — $ — Derivative not designated as hedging instrument: Cross currency basis swap (2) 4,828 — 4,828 — Liabilities: Contingent earnout liability (3) 1,796 — — 1,796 ________________________________________________ (1) The fair values of the money market funds were based on recently quoted market prices and reported transactions in an active marketplace. Money market funds are included in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents." (2) The fair value of the cross currency basis swap was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the swap and the forward curves for foreign currency rates and interest rates adjusted for the counterparty's credit risk. The fair value of the cross currency basis swap is included in "Other noncurrent assets" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the cross currency basis swap. (3) The fair value of the contingent earnout liability for the 2014 acquisition of Buckley Scott Holdings Limited ("Buckley Scott") was e stimated using an internally-prepared probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value analysis relied upon both Level 2 data (publicly observable data such as market interest rates and capital structures of peer companies) and Level 3 data (internal data such as the Company's operating projections). As such, the liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The valuation is sensitive to Level 3 data, with a maximum possible earnout of $1,862,000 at March 31, 2016 . As such, the fair value is not expected to vary materially from the balance recorded. The fair value of the contingent earnout liability is included in "Other accrued liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the contingent earnout agreement. The fair value of the earnout was $1,921,000 , with a maximum possible earnout of $2,027,000 , at December 31, 2015 . The change in the Level 3 fair value at March 31, 2016 was due to foreign currency translation adjustments and inputed interest. Fair Value Disclosures There were no transfers of assets between fair value levels during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 . The categorization of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement techniques are reviewed quarterly. Any transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. The fair values of accounts receivable, unbilled revenues, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The interest rate on the Company's variable rate long-term debt resets at least every 90 days ; therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value. These assets and liabilities are measured within Level 2 of the hierarchy. |

Segment Information | Segment Information Financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 related to the Company's reportable segments, including a reconciliation from segment operating earnings to income before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented below. Three months ended (in thousands) March 31, March 31, Revenues: U.S. Services $ 58,504 $ 56,705 International 117,522 124,025 Broadspire 76,200 69,672 Garden City Group 25,008 37,375 Total segment revenues before reimbursements 277,234 287,777 Reimbursements 13,674 18,839 Total revenues $ 290,908 $ 306,616 Segment Operating Earnings: U.S. Services $ 9,054 $ 4,161 International 7,034 2,343 Broadspire 8,705 3,543 Garden City Group 1,495 4,951 Total segment operating earnings 26,288 14,998 Deduct: Unallocated corporate and shared costs, net (4,618 ) (4,302 ) Net corporate interest expense (2,768 ) (1,864 ) Stock option expense (90 ) (149 ) Amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets (2,459 ) (2,098 ) Restructuring and special charges (2,417 ) (1,063 ) Income before income taxes $ 13,936 $ 5,522 Intersegment transactions are not material for any period presented. Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by the Company's senior management and chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate the financial performance of the Company's four operating segments and make resource allocation decisions. The Company believes this measure is useful to others in that it allows them to evaluate segment operating performance using the same criteria used by the Company's senior management and CODM. Operating earnings will differ from net income computed in accordance with GAAP since operating earnings represent segment earnings before certain unallocated corporate and shared costs, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, restructuring and special charges, income taxes, and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Segment operating earnings includes allocations of certain corporate and shared costs. If the Company changes its allocation methods or changes the types of costs that are allocated to its four operating segments, prior period amounts presented in the current period financial statements are adjusted to conform to the current allocation process. Revenues before reimbursements by major service line in the U.S. Services segment and the Broadspire segment are shown in the following table. It is not practicable to provide revenues by service line for the International segment. The Company considers all Garden City Group revenues to be derived from one service line.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies As part of the Company's credit facility, the Company maintains a letter of credit facility to satisfy certain of its own contractual requirements. At March 31, 2016 , the aggregate committed amount of letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility was $17,211,000 . In the normal course of its business, the Company is sometimes named as a defendant or responsible party in suits or other actions by insureds or claimants contesting decisions made by the Company or its clients with respect to the settlement of claims. Additionally, certain clients of the Company have in the past brought, and may, in the future bring, claims for indemnification on the basis of alleged actions by the Company, its agents, or its employees in rendering services to clients. The majority of these claims are of the type covered by insurance maintained by the Company. However, the Company is responsible for the deductibles and self-insured retentions under various insurance coverages. In the opinion of Company management, adequate provisions have been made for such known and foreseeable risks. The Company is subject to numerous federal, state, and foreign labor, employment, worker health and safety, antitrust and competition, environmental and consumer protection, import/export, anti-corruption, and other laws, and from time to time the Company faces claims and investigations by employees, former employees, and governmental entities under such laws. Such claims, investigations, and any litigation involving the Company could divert management's time and attention from the Company's business operations and could potentially result in substantial costs of defense, settlement or other disposition, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. In the opinion of Company management, adequate provisions have been made for any items that are probable and reasonably estimable. The agreement relating to the 2014 acquisition of Buckley Scott contains an earnout provision based on Buckley Scott achieving certain financial results during the two -year period following the completion of the acquisition, with a current estimated fair value of $1,796,000 . The maximum potential earnout is $1,862,000 . The Company has voluntarily self-reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Department of Justice (the "DOJ") certain potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act discovered by the Company during the course of its regular internal audit process. Upon discovery, the Company, with the oversight of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, proactively initiated an investigation into this matter with the assistance of external legal counsel and external forensic accountants. The Company has been cooperating fully, and expects to continue to cooperate fully, with the SEC and the DOJ in this matter. The Company cannot currently predict when or what, if any, action may be taken by the SEC or the DOJ, or other governmental authorities, or the effect any such actions may have on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring and Special Charges | Restructuring and Special Charges Restructuring Charges Restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $2,144,000 were incurred related to the establishment and phase in of the Company's Global Business Services Center in Manila, Philippines and Global Technology Services Center in Pune, India ("the Centers"), integration costs related to the GAB Robins acquisition and other restructuring activities in the International segment, and asset impairments and lease termination costs. The following table shows the costs incurred by type of restructuring activity: Three months ended (in thousands) March 31, March 31, Implementation and phase in of the Centers $ 429 $ 1,063 Asset impairments and lease termination costs 828 — Integration costs related to the GAB Robins acquisition and International segment restructuring 887 — Total restructuring charges $ 2,144 $ 1,063 Costs associated with the Centers were primarily for professional fees and severance costs. Integration costs related to the GAB acquisition and International restructuring were predominantly made up of severance and, to a lesser extent, professional fees and other costs. As of March 31, 2016 , the following liabilities remained on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to restructuring charges recorded in 2012, 2015, and 2016. The rollforward of these costs to March 31, 2016 were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2016 (in thousands) Deferred rent Accrued compensation and related costs Accounts payable Other accrued liabilities Total Beginning balance, January 1, 2016 $ 3,571 $ 7,006 $ 1,066 $ 3,257 $ 14,900 Additions 875 612 705 (48 ) 2,144 Adjustments to accruals (216 ) — — — (216 ) Cash payments (875 ) (5,362 ) (1,366 ) — (7,603 ) Ending balance, March 31, 2016 $ 3,355 $ 2,256 $ 405 $ 3,209 $ 9,225 Special Charges The Company recorded special charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $273,000 consisting of legal and professional fees related to the ongoing investigation as disclosed in Note 11 "Commitments and Contingencies."

The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust because the Company directs the activities of the trust and can use the assets of the trust to satisfy the liabilities of the Company's deferred compensation plan . |
New accounting pronouncements, policy | Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In March, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This update was issued as part of a simplification effort for the accounting of share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this amendment may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting." This update eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods thereafter, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this amendment may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Financial Accounting for Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Financial Accounting for Leases." Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, this ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this update may have on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Under ASU 2014-09, companies will be required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and modify guidance for multiple-element arrangements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The one year deferral of the effective date of this standard changes the effective date for the Company to January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date. During March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent consideration. Additionally, ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," was issued on April 14, 2016 to clarify the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. Both of the above amendments to the guidance were issued with the same effective dates as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating its arrangements with customers and revenue streams against the requirements of this standard. Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." This ASU amended guidance on internal use software to clarify how customers in cloud computing arrangements should determine whether the arrangement includes a software license. The new guidance specifies that these licenses should be accounted for as licenses of intangible assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has adopted this guidance and it did not have any material effect on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis In February 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidation (topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations (public and private companies) that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 with no impact to its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. |
Earnings per share, policy | The Company computes earnings per share of its non-voting Class A Common Stock ("CRDA") and voting Class B Common Stock ("CRDB") using the two-class method, which allocates the undistributed earnings in each period to each class on a proportionate basis. The Company's Board of Directors has the right, but not the obligation, to declare higher dividends on the CRDA shares than on the CRDB shares, subject to certain limitations. In periods when the dividend is the same for CRDA and CRDB or when no dividends are declared or paid to either class, the two-class method generally will yield the same earnings per share for CRDA and CRDB. During the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 the Board of Directors declared a higher dividend on CRDA than on CRDB. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Schedule of fair value, assets and liabilities measured on recurring basis | The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and that are categorized using the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2016 Significant Other Significant Quoted Prices in Observable Unobservable Active Markets Inputs Inputs (in thousands) Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 10,020 $ 10,020 $ — $ — Derivative not designated as hedging instrument: Cross currency basis swap (2) 4,828 — 4,828 — Liabilities: Contingent earnout liability (3) 1,796 — — 1,796 ________________________________________________ (1) The fair values of the money market funds were based on recently quoted market prices and reported transactions in an active marketplace. Money market funds are included in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents." (2) The fair value of the cross currency basis swap was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the swap and the forward curves for foreign currency rates and interest rates adjusted for the counterparty's credit risk. The fair value of the cross currency basis swap is included in "Other noncurrent assets" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the cross currency basis swap. (3) The fair value of the contingent earnout liability for the 2014 acquisition of Buckley Scott Holdings Limited ("Buckley Scott") was e stimated using an internally-prepared probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value analysis relied upon both Level 2 data (publicly observable data such as market interest rates and capital structures of peer companies) and Level 3 data (internal data such as the Company's operating projections). As such, the liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The valuation is sensitive to Level 3 data, with a maximum possible earnout of $1,862,000 at March 31, 2016 . As such, the fair value is not expected to vary materially from the balance recorded. The fair value of the contingent earnout liability is included in "Other accrued liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the contingent earnout agreement. The fair value of the earnout was $1,921,000 , with a maximum possible earnout of $2,027,000 , at December 31, 2015 . The change in the Level 3 fair value at March 31, 2016 was due to foreign currency translation adjustments and inputed interest. |

[1] | The fair values of the money market funds were based on recently quoted market prices and reported transactions in an active marketplace. Money market funds are included in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents." | ||
[2] | The fair value of the cross currency basis swap was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the swap and the forward curves for foreign currency rates and interest rates adjusted for the counterparty's credit risk. The fair value of the cross currency basis swap is included in "Other noncurrent assets" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the cross currency basis swap. | ||
[3] | The fair value of the contingent earnout liability for the 2014 acquisition of Buckley Scott Holdings Limited ("Buckley Scott") was estimated using an internally-prepared probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value analysis relied upon both Level 2 data (publicly observable data such as market interest rates and capital structures of peer companies) and Level 3 data (internal data such as the Company's operating projections). As such, the liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The valuation is sensitive to Level 3 data, with a maximum possible earnout of $1,862,000 at March 31, 2016. As such, the fair value is not expected to vary materially from the balance recorded. The fair value of the contingent earnout liability is included in "Other accrued liabilities" on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the contingent earnout agreement. The fair value of the earnout was $1,921,000, with a maximum possible earnout of $2,027,000, at December 31, 2015. The change in the Level 3 fair value at March 31, 2016 was due to foreign currency translation adjustments and inputed interest. |
