Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1993. We are a leading developer, publisher and marketer of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. We develop and publish products through our labels Rockstar Games, 2K, and Private Division, as well as Social Point, a leading developer of mobile games. Our products are designed for console systems and personal computers, including smart phones and tablets, and are delivered through physical retail, digital download, online platforms, and cloud streaming services. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and, in our opinion, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. As permitted under U.S. GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions when appropriate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 . Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases codified under Topic 842, Leases . The new lease accounting standard replaces all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic. The new standard, among other things, requires a lessee to classify a lease as either an operating or financing lease and to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for its leases. On April 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting standard using the alternative transition approach provided in ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements,” which allows initial application of the new standard using the modified retrospective method. As part of the adoption, the new lease accounting standard allows a number of practical expedients and exemptions. At transition, we elected the following: • The package of practical expedients, which allows us to carryforward our historical lease classification, assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease and initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard; • The practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components; and • The exemption to not apply the balance sheet recognition requirements for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and instead expense those costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term or in the period in which the obligation is incurred, if such costs are variable. As a result of the adoption, we have updated our significant accounting policy disclosure as set forth below to include our accounting policy under Topic 842 for transactions from April 1, 2019 and thereafter: Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. If there is an identified asset in the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) and we have control over its use, the contract is (or contains) a lease. In certain of our lease arrangements, primarily those related to our data center arrangements, judgment is required in determining if a contract contains a lease. For these arrangements, there is judgment in evaluating if the arrangement provides us with an asset that is physically distinct, or that represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset, and if we have the right to direct the use of the asset. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Included in the lease liability are future lease payments that are fixed, in-substance fixed, or payments based on an index or rate known at the commencement date of the lease. Variable lease payments are recognized as lease expenses as incurred. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement, initial direct costs incurred, and lease incentives received. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate required to borrow funds over a similar term to purchase the leased asset and is based on an unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate at the commencement date of the lease. In determining our lease liability, the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option. For operating leases, the lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impact of adoption As a result of adopting Topic 842, the following adjustments, including reclassifying prepaid and deferred rent to ROU, were made to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 1, 2019: March 31, 2019 Adjustments April 1, 2019 ASSETS Prepaid expenses and other $ 186,688 $ (792 ) $ 185,896 Right-of-use assets $ — $ 118,799 $ 118,799 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 1,035,695 $ (2,976 ) $ 1,032,719 Lease liabilities $ — $ 18,937 $ 18,937 Non-current lease liabilities $ — $ 122,041 $ 122,041 Other long-term liabilities $ 229,633 $ (19,995 ) $ 209,638 The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning December 15, 2019 (April 1, 2020 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. Certain disclosures in ASU 2018-13 are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS	REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS Disaggregation of revenue Product revenue Product revenue is primarily comprised of the portion of revenue from software products that is recognized when the customer takes control of the product (i.e. upon delivery of the software product). Service and other revenue Service and other revenue is primarily comprised of revenue from game related services, virtual currency transactions, and in-game purchases which are recognized over an estimated service period. Net revenue by product revenue and service and other was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Net revenue recognized: Service and other 424,385 309,187 Product 116,074 78,795 Total net revenue $ 540,459 $ 387,982 Full game and other revenue Full game and other revenue primarily includes the initial sale of full game software products, which may include offline and/or significant game related services. Recurrent consumer spending revenue Recurrent consumer spending revenue is generated from ongoing consumer engagement and includes revenue from virtual currency, add-on content, and in-game purchases. Net revenue by full game and other revenue and recurrent consumer spending was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Net revenue recognized: Recurrent consumer spending 314,858 241,030 Full game and other 225,601 146,952 Total net revenue $ 540,459 $ 387,982 Geography We attribute net revenue to geographic regions based on software product destination.

Net revenue by distribution channel was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Net revenue recognized: Digital online $ 427,781 $ 315,047 Physical retail and other 112,678 72,935 Total net revenue $ 540,459 $ 387,982 Deferred Revenue We record deferred revenue when payments are due or received in advance of the fulfillment of our associated performance obligations. Deferred revenue, including current and non-current balances as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 were $848,182 and $864,360 , respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , the additions to our deferred revenue balance were due primarily to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were due primarily to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , $330,421 of revenue was recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. As of June 30, 2019 , the aggregate amount of contract revenue allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations is $1,042,083 , which includes our deferred revenue balances and amounts to be invoiced and recognized in future periods. We expect to recognize approximately $958,985 of this balance as revenue over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter. This balance does not include an estimate for variable consideration arising from sales-based royalty license revenue in excess of the contractual minimum guarantee. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 , our contract asset balances were $62,145 and $57,643 , respectively, which are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	3 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2019
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT	MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT In November 2017, we entered into a new management agreement, (the "2017 Management Agreement"), with ZelnickMedia Corporation ("ZelnickMedia") that replaces our previous agreement with ZelnickMedia and pursuant to which ZelnickMedia provides financial and management consulting services through March 31, 2024. The 2017 Management Agreement became effective January 1, 2018. As part of the 2017 Management Agreement, Strauss Zelnick, the President of ZelnickMedia, continues to serve as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Karl Slatoff, a partner of ZelnickMedia, continues to serve as President of the Company. The 2017 Management Agreement provides for an annual management fee of $3,100 over the term of the agreement and a maximum annual bonus opportunity of $7,440 over the term of the agreement, based on the Company achieving certain performance thresholds. In consideration for ZelnickMedia's services, we recorded consulting expense (a component of General and administrative expenses) of $1,670 and $1,705 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units granted to ZelnickMedia, which is included in General and administrative expenses of $5,545 and $4,517 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. In connection with the 2017 Management Agreement, we have granted restricted stock units as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Time-based 92 86 Market-based(1) 168 158 Performance-based(1) IP 28 27 Recurrent Consumer Spending ("RCS") 28 26 Total—Performance-based 56 53 Total Restricted Stock Units 316 297 _______________________________________________________________________________ (1) Represents the maximum number of shares eligible to vest. Time-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2020 will vest on April 13, 2021 , and those granted in fiscal 2019 will vest on April 13, 2020 , in each case provided that the 2017 Management Agreement has not been terminated prior to such vesting date. Market-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2020 are eligible to vest on April 13, 2021 , and those granted in fiscal 2019 are eligible to vest on April 13, 2020 , in each case provided that the 2017 Management Agreement has not been terminated prior to such vesting date. Market-based restricted stock units are eligible to vest based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return (as defined in the relevant grant agreement) relative to the Total Shareholder Return (as defined in the relevant grant agreement) of the companies that constitute the NASDAQ Composite Index as of the grant date measured over a two -year period. To earn the target number of market-based restricted stock units (which represents 50% of the number of the market-based restricted stock units set forth in the table above), the Company must perform at the 50th percentile, with the maximum number of market-based restricted stock units earned if the Company performs at the 75th percentile. Performance-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2020 are eligible to vest on April 13, 2021 , and those granted in fiscal 2019 are eligible to vest on April 13, 2020 , in each case provided that the 2017 Management Agreement has not been terminated prior to such vesting date. The performance-based restricted stock units, of which 50% are tied to "IP" and 50% to "RCS" (as defined in the relevant grant agreement), are eligible to vest based on the Company's achievement of certain performance metrics (as defined in the relevant grant agreement) of either individual product releases of "IP" or "RCS" measured over a two -year period. The target number of performance-based restricted stock units that may be earned pursuant to these grants is equal to 50% of the grant amounts set forth in the above table (the numbers in the table represent the maximum number of performance-based restricted stock units that may be earned). At the end of each reporting period, we assess the probability of each performance metric and upon determination that certain thresholds are probable, we record expense for the unvested portion of the shares of performance-based restricted stock units. The unvested portion of time-based, market-based and performance-based restricted stock units held by ZelnickMedia were 613 and 526 as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 , respectively. 209 restricted stock units previously granted to ZelnickMedia vested and 20 restricted stock units were forfeited by ZelnickMedia during the three months ended June 30, 2019 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Our risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes. We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we measure those instruments at fair value. We classify cash flows from derivative transactions as cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Foreign currency forward contracts The following table shows the gross notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts: June 30, 2019 March 31, 2019 Forward contracts to sell foreign currencies $ 72,538 $ 116,590 Forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies 42,544 87,793 For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recorded a loss of $3,298 and a gain of $2,404 , respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in Interest and other, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our foreign currency exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under hedge accounting and are used to reduce the impact of foreign currency on certain balance sheet exposures and certain revenue and expense. These instruments are generally short-term in nature, with typical maturities of less than one year, and are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Cross-currency swaps We entered into a cross-currency swap agreement in August 2017 related to an intercompany loan that has been designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge of foreign currency exchange risk. The intercompany loan is related to the acquisition of Social Point. As of June 30, 2019 , the notional amount of the cross-currency swap is $115,641 . This cross-currency swap mitigates the exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate related to the intercompany loan. The critical terms of the cross- currency swap agreement correspond to the intercompany loan and both mature at the same time in 2027; as such, there was no ineffectiveness during the period. Changes in the fair value of this cross-currency swap are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and offset the change in value of interest and principal payment as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses from the cross-currency swap are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings to completely offset foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized on the intercompany loan. We recognize the difference between the U.S. dollar interest payments received from the swap counterparty and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the euro interest payments made to the swap counterparty in Interest and other, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. There are no credit-risk related contingent features associated with these swaps.

Loans under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of (a) 0.250% to 0.750% above a certain base rate ( 5.50% at June 30, 2019 ) or (b) 1.125% to 1.750% above LIBOR (approximately 2.40% at June 30, 2019 ), which rates are determined by reference to our consolidated total net leverage ratio. We had no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2019 . Information related to availability on our Credit Agreement was as follows: June 30, 2019 March 31, 2019 Available borrowings $ 198,336 $ 198,336 Outstanding letters of credit 1,664 1,664 We recorded interest expense and fees related to the Credit Agreement of $82 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $110 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 under a prior credit arrangement, which was terminated on the same day that we entered into the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes, among other terms and conditions, maximum leverage ratio, minimum cash reserves and, in certain circumstances, minimum interest coverage ratio financial covenants, as well as limitations on us and each of our subsidiaries’ ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of its property; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default such as nonpayment of principal and interest when due thereunder, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency and default on indebtedness held by third parties (subject to certain limitations and cure periods).

We have appropriately accrued amounts related to certain of these claims and legal and other proceedings. While it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred in excess of the amounts accrued in our financial statements, we believe that such losses, unless otherwise disclosed, would not be material.

BUSINESS REORGANIZATION	BUSINESS REORGANIZATION In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we announced and initiated actions to implement a strategic reorganization at one of our labels (the "2018 Plan"). In connection with this initiative, we recorded business reorganization expense of $386 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to updating estimates for employee separation costs and did not make any payments related to these reorganization activities. As of June 30, 2019 , $3,698 remained accrued for in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $2,961 in Other non-current liabilities. Although we may record additional expense or benefit in future periods to true-up estimates, we do not expect to incur additional reorganization costs in connection with the 2018 Plan.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2019
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2020 , adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The provision for income taxes was $15,875 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $5,754 for the prior year period. When compared to the statutory rate of 21% , the effective tax rate of 25.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to a tax expense of $ 19,826 from the reversal of net deferred tax benefits relating to the Altera case discussed below, partially offset by a tax benefit of $ 11,601 from changes in unrecognized tax benefits due to audit settlements. On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, which concluded that related parties in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement are not required to share costs related to stock-based compensation. In February 2016, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service appealed the decision to the U.S Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit reversed the 2015 decision of the U.S. Tax Court. As a result of this decision, we are no longer reflecting a net tax benefit within our financial statements related to the removal of stock-based compensation from our intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , we removed the deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability associated with this matter from its financial statements, resulting in a cumulative net discrete income tax expense of $ 19,826 . On July 22, 2019, the taxpayer requested a rehearing before the full Ninth Circuit and may subsequently appeal from the Ninth Circuit to the Supreme Court. As a result, the final outcome of the case is uncertain. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments of this matter and potential impacts to our financial statements. In addition, on June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, which overturned previous case law that precluded states from requiring retailers to collect and remit sales and use tax collection on sales made to in-state customers unless the retailer had physical presence in the state. Although this case is limited to sales tax collection obligations, we continue to monitor the potential impact of this decision on our state income tax footprint. We are regularly examined by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Examinations may result in tax assessments in excess of amounts claimed and the payment of additional taxes. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law, and that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable tax assessments. It is possible that settlement of audits or the expiration of the statute of limitations may have an impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and, in our opinion, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. As permitted under U.S. GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions when appropriate. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 . Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases codified under Topic 842, Leases . The new lease accounting standard replaces all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic. The new standard, among other things, requires a lessee to classify a lease as either an operating or financing lease and to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for its leases. On April 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting standard using the alternative transition approach provided in ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements,” which allows initial application of the new standard using the modified retrospective method. As part of the adoption, the new lease accounting standard allows a number of practical expedients and exemptions. At transition, we elected the following: • The package of practical expedients, which allows us to carryforward our historical lease classification, assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease and initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard; • The practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components; and • The exemption to not apply the balance sheet recognition requirements for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and instead expense those costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term or in the period in which the obligation is incurred, if such costs are variable. As a result of the adoption, we have updated our significant accounting policy disclosure as set forth below to include our accounting policy under Topic 842 for transactions from April 1, 2019 and thereafter: Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. If there is an identified asset in the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) and we have control over its use, the contract is (or contains) a lease. In certain of our lease arrangements, primarily those related to our data center arrangements, judgment is required in determining if a contract contains a lease. For these arrangements, there is judgment in evaluating if the arrangement provides us with an asset that is physically distinct, or that represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset, and if we have the right to direct the use of the asset. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Included in the lease liability are future lease payments that are fixed, in-substance fixed, or payments based on an index or rate known at the commencement date of the lease. Variable lease payments are recognized as lease expenses as incurred. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement, initial direct costs incurred, and lease incentives received. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate required to borrow funds over a similar term to purchase the leased asset and is based on an unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate at the commencement date of the lease. In determining our lease liability, the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option. For operating leases, the lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impact of adoption As a result of adopting Topic 842, the following adjustments, including reclassifying prepaid and deferred rent to ROU, were made to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 1, 2019: March 31, 2019 Adjustments April 1, 2019 ASSETS Prepaid expenses and other $ 186,688 $ (792 ) $ 185,896 Right-of-use assets $ — $ 118,799 $ 118,799 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 1,035,695 $ (2,976 ) $ 1,032,719 Lease liabilities $ — $ 18,937 $ 18,937 Non-current lease liabilities $ — $ 122,041 $ 122,041 Other long-term liabilities $ 229,633 $ (19,995 ) $ 209,638 The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning December 15, 2019 (April 1, 2020 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. Certain disclosures in ASU 2018-13 are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
