Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION General Franklin Covey Co. (hereafter referred to as us, we, our, or the Company) is a global company focused on organizational performance improvement. Our mission is to “enable greatness in people and organizations everywhere,” and our global structure is designed to help individuals and organizations achieve sustained superior performance through changes in human behavior. We are fundamentally a content and solutions company, and we believe that our offerings and services create the connection between capabilities and results. We have a wide range of content delivery options, including: the All Access Pass (AAP) subscription, the Leader in Me membership, and other intellectual property licenses; digital online learning; on-site training; training led through certified facilitators; blended learning; and organization-wide transformational processes, including consulting and coaching. We believe our investments in digital delivery modalities over the past few years have enabled us to deliver our content to clients in a high-quality learning environment whether those clients are working remotely or in a centralized location. We believe that our clients are able to utilize our content to create cultures whose hallmarks are high-performing, collaborative individuals, led by effective, trust-building leaders who execute with excellence and deliver measurably improved results for all of their key stakeholders. We have some of the best-known offerings in the training industry, including a suite of individual-effectiveness and leadership-development training content based on the best-selling books, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Speed of Trust, The Leader in Me, The 4 Disciplines of Execution, and Multipliers, and proprietary content in the areas of Execution, Sales Performance, Productivity, Educational Improvement, and Customer Loyalty. Our offerings are described in further detail at www.franklincovey.com. The information posted on our website is not incorporated into this report. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2022, or for any future periods. Note on the Continuing COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic continues to produce difficult economic and operating conditions for certain areas of our business, including our international direct offices and licensee partners as countries and local municipalities have maintained a variety of measures designed to contain the spread of the virus. These measures included the closure of offices, schools, and other meeting spaces. These efforts persist in the face of new variants, increasing cases, and ongoing uncertainty regarding the pandemic. While our content is able to be presented digitally and is translated into numerous languages, the technology base differs significantly among countries, which may impede the smooth delivery of content to remote work locations. We remain optimistic about the future as we continue to see signs of economic recovery in the United States and many of the other countries in which we operate as companies, schools, and individuals are adapting, and the positive effect of vaccinations and therapeutics are enabling some economies to open and recover. However, emerging variants continue to create uncertainty and many countries, states, and local governments may continue to implement additional lockdowns or other containment measures in future periods. These measures change rapidly to new and perceived threats and may have an adverse impact on our results of operations in future periods. We will continue to monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply chain issues, and their actual and potential impacts on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity. Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The guidance in ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, although early adoption is permitted. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS At February 28, 2022, the carrying value of our financial instruments approximated their fair values. The fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities from previous business acquisitions are considered “Level 3” measurements because we use various estimates in the valuation models to project the timing and amount of future contingent payments. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of Jhana Education (Jhana) changed as follows during the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2022 (in thousands): Balance at August 31, 2021 $ 2,095 Change in fair value 28 Payments (368)Balance at November 30, 2021 1,755 Change in fair value 20Payments (303)Balance at February 28, 2022 $ 1,472 At each quarterly reporting date, we estimate the fair value of our contingent liability from the acquisition of Jhana through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation. Based on the timing of expected payments, all of the Jhana contingent consideration liability was recorded in accrued liabilities at February 28, 2022. Adjustments to the fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION Contract Balances Our deferred revenue totaled $83.0 million at February 28, 2022 and $88.6 million at August 31, 2021, of which $2.1 million and $2.7 million were classified as components of other long-term liabilities at February 28, 2022, and August 31, 2021, respectively. The amount of deferred revenue that was generated from subscription offerings totaled $70.4 million at February 28, 2022 and $77.0 million at August 31, 2021. During the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2022, we recognized $28.0 million and $56.4 million of previously deferred subscription revenue. Remaining Performance Obligations When possible, we enter into multi-year non-cancellable contracts which are invoiced either upon execution of the contract or at the beginning of each annual contract period. Remaining transaction price represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, including unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price is influenced by factors such as seasonality, the average length of the contract term, and the ability of the Company to continue to enter into multi-year non-cancellable contracts. At February 28, 2022, we had $119.3 million of remaining performance obligations, including the amount of deferred revenue related to our subscription offerings. The remaining performance obligation does not include other deferred revenue, as amounts included in other deferred revenue include items such as deposits that are generally refundable at the client’s request prior to the satisfaction of the obligation. Disaggregated Revenue Information Refer to Note 7, Segment Information, to these condensed consolidated financial statements for our disaggregated revenue information.

The number of shares awarded in this tranche does not fluctuate based on the achievement of financial measures. Performance-Based Award Shares – The remaining shares of the fiscal 2022 LTIP award are earned based on the highest rolling four-quarter level of qualified adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other charges (Adjusted EBITDA) achieved in the three-year period ending August 31, 2024. The number of shares that will vest to participants for this tranche is variable and may be 50 percent of the award (minimum award threshold) or up to 200 percent of the participant’s award (maximum threshold) depending on the level of qualified Adjusted EBITDA achieved. The number of shares that may be earned for achieving 100 percent of the performance-based objective totals 73,929 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be awarded in connection with the performance-based tranche of the 2022 LTIP totals 147,840 shares. Fiscal 2022 Restricted Stock Award Our annual restricted stock award granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors is administered under the terms of our omnibus incentive plans, and is designed to provide our non-employee directors, who are not eligible to participate in our employee stock purchase plan, an opportunity to obtain an interest in the Company through the acquisition of shares of our common stock. The annual award is granted in January (following the annual shareholders’ meeting) of each year. For the fiscal 2022 award, each eligible director received a whole-share grant equal to $110,000 with a one year vesting period. Our restricted stock award activity during the two quarters ended February 28, 2022 consisted of the following: Weighted-Average Grant Date Number of Fair Value Shares Per ShareRestricted stock awards at August 31, 2021 28,049  $ 24.96 Granted 13,260  49.78 Forfeited - -Vested (28,049) 24.96 Restricted stock awards at February 28, 2022 13,260  $ 49.78  Employee Stock Purchase Plan We have an employee stock purchase plan that offers qualified employees the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85 percent of the average fair market value of our common stock on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter.

Segment Information

Segment Information [Abstract]
Segment Information	NOTE 7 – SEGMENT INFORMATION Segment Information Our sales are primarily comprised of training and consulting services and our internal reporting and operating structure is currently organized around two divisions. The Enterprise Division, which consists of our Direct Office and International Licensee segments and the Education Division, which is comprised of our Education practice. Based on the applicable guidance, our operations are comprised of three reportable segments and one corporate services group. The following is a brief description of our reportable segments: Direct Offices – Our Direct Office segment has a depth of expertise in helping organizations solve problems that require changes in human behavior, including leadership, productivity, execution, trust, and sales performance. We have a variety of principle-based offerings that help build winning and profitable cultures. This segment includes our sales personnel that serve the United States and Canada; our international sales offices located in Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria; our government services sales channel; and our book and audio sales. International Licensees – Our independently owned international licensees provide our offerings and services in countries where we do not have a directly-owned office. These licensee partners allow us to expand the reach of our services to large multinational organizations as well as smaller organizations in their countries. This segment’s results are primarily comprised of royalty revenues received from these licensees. Education Practice – Centered around the principles found in The Leader in Me, the Education practice is dedicated to helping educational institutions build a culture that will produce great results. We believe these results are manifested by increases in student performance, improved school culture, decreased disciplinary issues, and increased teacher engagement and parental involvement. This segment includes our domestic and international Education practice operations, which are focused on sales to educational institutions such as elementary schools, high schools, and colleges and universities.‎  Corporate and Other – Our corporate and other information includes leasing operations, shipping and handling revenues, royalty revenues from Franklin Planner Corp., and certain corporate administrative functions. We have determined that the Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, and the primary measurement tool used in business unit performance analysis is Adjusted EBITDA, which may not be calculated as similarly titled amounts disclosed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For reporting purposes, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, intangible asset amortization expense, stock-based compensation, and certain other charges such as adjustments for changes in the fair value of contingent liabilities arising from business acquisitions. We reference this non-GAAP financial measure in our decision making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates consistent internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and we believe it provides investors with greater transparency to evaluate operational activities and financial results. Our operations are not capital intensive and we do not own any manufacturing facilities or equipment. Accordingly, we do not allocate assets to the reportable segments for analysis purposes. Interest expense and interest income are primarily generated at the corporate level and are not allocated. Income taxes are likewise calculated and paid on a corporate level (except for entities that operate in foreign jurisdictions) and are not allocated for analysis purposes. We account for the following segment information on the same basis as the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands).

Our offerings are described in further detail at www.franklincovey.com. The information posted on our website is not incorporated into this report. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the quarter and two quarters ended February 28, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2022, or for any future periods.
Note On The Continuing COVID-19 Pandemic	Note on the Continuing COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic continues to produce difficult economic and operating conditions for certain areas of our business, including our international direct offices and licensee partners as countries and local municipalities have maintained a variety of measures designed to contain the spread of the virus. These measures included the closure of offices, schools, and other meeting spaces. These efforts persist in the face of new variants, increasing cases, and ongoing uncertainty regarding the pandemic. While our content is able to be presented digitally and is translated into numerous languages, the technology base differs significantly among countries, which may impede the smooth delivery of content to remote work locations. We remain optimistic about the future as we continue to see signs of economic recovery in the United States and many of the other countries in which we operate as companies, schools, and individuals are adapting, and the positive effect of vaccinations and therapeutics are enabling some economies to open and recover. However, emerging variants continue to create uncertainty and many countries, states, and local governments may continue to implement additional lockdowns or other containment measures in future periods. These measures change rapidly to new and perceived threats and may have an adverse impact on our results of operations in future periods. We will continue to monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply chain issues, and their actual and potential impacts on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued And Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The guidance in ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, although early adoption is permitted. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
