Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2018 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to the classifications used in 2019. Amounts in tables in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes may not sum due to rounding. We report the results of our operations in three reporting segments: Integrated Financial Solutions (“IFS”), Global Financial Solutions (“GFS”) and Corporate and Other (see Note 13).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


(a)	Change in Accounting Policy

The Company adopted Topic 842, Leases, with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for leases. The accounting policy pursuant to Topic 842 for operating leases is disclosed below. The primary impact of adopting Topic 842 is the establishment of a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for operating leases.

The Company applied Topic 842 using the effective date method; consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard were not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. For transition purposes, the Company elected the "package of practical expedients," which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient nor the short-term lease recognition exemption allowed under the new standard.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) of $442 million and $446 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019. The standard did not impact the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.


(b)	Operating Leases

The Company leases certain of its property, primarily real estate, under operating leases. Operating lease ROU assets are included in other noncurrent assets, and operating lease liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments and exclude lease incentives received. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend, generally ranging from one to five years, or to terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements may include lease and related non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.

Pending Acquisition of Worldpay	3 Months Ended
Pending Acquisition of Worldpay	Mar. 31, 2019
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Pending Acquisition of Worldpay	Pending Acquisition of Worldpay On March 17, 2019, FIS, Wrangler Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FIS (“Merger Sub”), and Worldpay, Inc. (“Worldpay”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Worldpay (the “merger”), with Worldpay surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of FIS. Worldpay is a leading payments technology company with unique capability to power global omni-commerce. With an integrated technology platform, Worldpay offers a comprehensive suite of products and services, delivered globally through a single provider. Worldpay processes over 40 billion transactions annually, supporting more than 300 payment types across 146 countries and 126 currencies. Worldpay is focused on expanding into high-growth markets and customer segments, including global eCommerce, integrated payments and B2B. FIS and Worldpay have complementary solutions and services, and clients will benefit from our combined global payment capabilities, robust risk and fraud solutions and advanced data analytics. Under the terms of the merger agreement, FIS will acquire 100 percent of the equity of Worldpay. At the closing, Worldpay shareholders will receive approximately 289 million shares of FIS common stock and $3.4 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments, using an exchange ratio of 0.9287 FIS shares plus $11.00 in cash for each share of Worldpay. In addition, FIS expects to repay approximately $7.4 billion in Worldpay debt in connection with the merger, although depending on market conditions it may choose to leave outstanding some or all of Worldpay’s existing notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.7 billion, which would reduce the amount of permanent financing FIS would seek to raise, as discussed below. The combination of stock and cash values Worldpay at an enterprise value of approximately $43 billion, including the repayment/assumption of Worldpay debt of approximately $7.4 billion. Upon closing, FIS shareholders will own approximately 53 percent and Worldpay shareholders will own approximately 47 percent of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The acquisition is subject to receipt of required regulatory and stockholder approvals and other customary closing conditions. The merger is not subject to a financing condition. FIS expects to close the acquisition in the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the merger, on March 17, 2019, FIS entered into a bridge facility commitment letter (the “original commitment letter”), with Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 billion (the “bridge facility”), consisting of (i) a $2.0 billion tranche (the “amendment tranche”) to backstop an amendment to FIS’ existing Revolving Credit Facility, dated September 21, 2018, as defined in Note 7, to permit the borrowing of revolving loans thereunder up to $2.0 billion (the “specified revolving loans”), on a limited conditionality basis consistent with the conditions precedent to funding under the bridge facility and (ii) a $7.5 billion tranche (the “capital markets tranche”). The capital markets tranche of the bridge facility was established for the purpose of refinancing certain outstanding indebtedness of Worldpay and its subsidiaries on the closing date, financing a portion of the merger consideration, and paying fees and expenses related to the merger, the refinancing and the related transactions. FIS intends to replace the capital markets tranche of the bridge facility prior to the closing of the merger with permanent financing, which we currently expect to include debt securities, commercial paper and/or revolving credit borrowings. On March 29, 2019, FIS and certain financial institutions party to the existing Revolving Credit Facility entered into an amendment to the existing Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, permit the borrowing of the specified revolving loans on a limited conditionality basis consistent with the conditions precedent to funding under the bridge facility and, in connection with the entry into such amendment, the commitments in respect of the amendment tranche of the bridge facility were automatically and permanently reduced to zero. The specified revolving loans may also be used to refinance certain outstanding indebtedness of Worldpay and its subsidiaries on the closing date, finance a portion of the merger consideration and pay fees and expenses related to the merger, the refinancing and the related transactions. On April 5, 2019, FIS and certain financial institutions party to the existing Revolving Credit Facility entered into a second amendment to the existing Revolving Credit Facility to permit FIS to exclude indebtedness issued or incurred for the purpose of financing any acquisition that utilizes at least $1.5 billion of debt financing from the calculation of the maximum leverage ratio permitted thereunder prior to the consummation of such acquisition or the termination of the acquisition agreement with respect thereto; provided that such acquisition financing includes provisions requiring its repayment if the acquisition is not completed. The funding of the capital markets tranche of the bridge facility on the closing date is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of certain conditions set forth in the commitment letter, including, among others, completion of the merger substantially concurrent with the funding of the bridge facility, the non-occurrence of a material adverse effect (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to Worldpay, delivery of certain financial statements of FIS and Worldpay, the accuracy (subject to certain materiality qualifiers) of certain representations and warranties, the execution and delivery of definitive documentation and other customary conditions more fully set forth in the commitment letter. The conditions precedent to the funding of the specified revolving loans under the existing Revolving Credit Facility on the closing date are substantially the same as the conditions precedent to the funding of the bridge facility on the closing date.

Settlement Activity

We manage certain integrated electronic payment services and programs and wealth management processes for our clients that require us to hold and manage client cash balances used to fund their daily settlement activity. Settlement deposits represent funds we hold that were drawn from our clients to facilitate settlement activities. Settlement receivables represent amounts funded by us. Settlement payables consist of settlement deposits from clients, settlement payables to third parties, and outstanding checks related to our settlement activities for which the right of offset does not exist or we do not intend to exercise our right of offset. Our accounting policy for such outstanding checks is to include them in settlement payables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) and operating cash flows on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited).

(1)	Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is generally payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up to 1.625% plus an unused commitment fee of up to 0.225%, each based upon the Company's corporate credit ratings. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility, excluding fees, was 3.66%.

On December 21, 2018, FIS entered into an interest rate swap that effectively converted the 2024 Euro Notes from a fixed-rate to a floating rate debt obligation. This derivative instrument was designated as a fair value hedge of the debt obligation. The fair value of the interest rate swap was $7 million at March 31, 2019, recorded as a increase in the hedged debt balance.

On September 21, 2018, FIS established a U.S. commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) for the issuance and sale of senior, unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”), up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $4.0 billion. The Notes have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The proceeds of the Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of the Commercial Paper Program was $600 million and $250 million, respectively, recorded as short-term borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The weighted-average interest rate on the Notes was 2.79% as of March 31, 2019.

On September 21, 2018, FIS entered into a Seventh Amendment and Restatement Agreement (“Credit Facility Agreement”), which amends and restates FIS’ existing credit agreement (as amended, the “Restated Credit Agreement”). The Credit Facility Agreement increases the revolving credit commitments outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) existing under the Restated Credit Agreement from $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion and extends the term of the Restated Credit Agreement to September 21, 2023. Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility will generally be used for general corporate purposes, including backstopping any Notes that FIS may issue under the Commercial Paper Program described above. As of March 31, 2019, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was $88 million, with $3,906 million of borrowing capacity remaining thereunder (net of $6 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility).

In connection with the pending acquisition of Worldpay, FIS entered into a bridge facility commitment letter on March 17, 2019. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended on March 29, 2019 and April 5, 2019. See Note 3 for further discussion.

The obligations of FIS under the Revolving Credit Facility, Commercial Paper Program and under all of its outstanding senior notes rank equal in priority and are unsecured. The Revolving Credit Facility and the senior notes are subject to customary covenants, including, among others, limitations under the Revolving Credit Facility on the payment of dividends by FIS, and customary events of default.

The following summarizes the aggregate maturities of our long-term debt and other financing obligations based on stated contractual maturities, excluding the fair value of the interest rate swap and net unamortized non-cash bond premiums and discounts of $32 million, as of March 31, 2019 (in millions):



	Total
2019	$	46
2020	1,196
2021	1,355
2022	701
2023	793
Thereafter	4,611
Total principal payments	8,702
Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization	(55		)
Total long-term debt	$	8,647

There are no mandatory principal payments on the Revolving Credit Facility and any balance outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility will be due and payable at its scheduled maturity date, which occurs at September 21, 2023.

FIS may redeem the 2020 Notes, 2021 Euro Notes, 2021 Notes, 2022 GBP Notes, 2022 Notes, 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2024 Euro Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2046 Notes and 2048 Notes at its option in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed and a make-whole amount calculated as described in the related indenture in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, provided no make-whole amount will be paid for redemptions of the 2020 Notes, the 2021 Notes, the 2021 Euro Notes and the 2022 GBP Notes during the one month prior to their maturity, the 2022 Notes during the two months prior to their maturity, the 2023 Notes, the 2024 Notes, the 2024 Euro Notes, the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2028 Notes during the three months prior to their maturity, and the 2046 Notes and 2048 Notes during the six months prior to their maturity.

Debt issuance costs of $55 million, net of accumulated amortization, remain capitalized as of March 31, 2019, related to all of the above outstanding debt.

We monitor the financial stability of our counterparties on an ongoing basis. The lender commitments under the undrawn portions of the Revolving Credit Facility are comprised of a diversified set of financial institutions, both domestic and international. The failure of any single lender to perform its obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility would not adversely impact our ability to fund operations.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $37 million higher than the carrying value excluding the fair value of the interest rate swap and unamortized discounts as of March 31, 2019. This estimate is based on quoted prices of our senior notes and trades of our other debt in close proximity to March 31, 2019, which are considered Level 2-type measurements. This estimate is subjective in nature and involves uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. Therefore, the values presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize or settle currently.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no significant forward contracts and no cash flow hedges outstanding. Fair Value Hedge During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a €500 million notional value converting the interest rate exposure on the Company's 2024 Euro Notes from fixed to variable. We designated this interest rate swap as a fair value hedge for accounting purposes. The fair value of the interest rate swap was a $7 million asset at March 31, 2019, recorded as a increase in the hedged debt balance (see Note 7). Net Investment Hedges During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $716 million, which were designated as net investment hedges of its investment in Euro and GBP denominated operations. The fair value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps was a net $3 million liability at March 31, 2019. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company designated its Euro-denominated Senior Notes due 2021 (€500 million) and Senior Notes due 2024 (€500 million) and GBP-denominated Senior Notes due 2022 (£300 million) as net investment hedges of its investment in Euro and GBP denominated operations, respectively. The purpose of the Company's net investment hedges is to reduce the volatility of FIS' net investment value in its Euro- and GBP-denominated operations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, net investment hedge aggregate gain (loss) of $7 million and $(38) million, net of tax, respectively, for the change in fair value was recorded in other comprehensive income as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments. No ineffectiveness was recorded on the net investment hedges.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Reliance Trust Claims Reliance Trust Company (“Reliance”), the Company’s subsidiary, is named as a defendant in a class action arising out of its provision of services as the discretionary trustee for a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) for one of its customers. Plaintiffs in the action seek damages and attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief, on behalf of Plan participants for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 against Reliance and the Plan's sponsor and record-keeper. Reliance is vigorously defending the action and believes that it has meritorious defenses. Pre-trial discovery has now been completed. Reliance contends that no breaches of fiduciary duty or prohibited transactions occurred and that the Plan suffered no damages. With respect to Plaintiffs' remaining claims, Plaintiffs allege damages of approximately $115 million against all defendants. While we are unable at this time to estimate more precisely the potential loss or range of loss because of unresolved questions of fact and law, we believe that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not have a material impact on our financial condition. We do not believe a liability for this action is probable and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for this action. Brazilian Tax Authorities Claims In 2004, Proservvi Empreendimentos e Servicos, Ltda., the predecessor to Fidelity National Servicos de Tratamento de Documentos e Informatica Ltda. (“Servicos”), a subsidiary of Fidelity National Participacoes Ltda., our former item processing and remittance services operation in Brazil, acquired certain assets and employees and leased certain facilities from the Transpev Group (“Transpev”) in Brazil. Transpev’s remaining assets were later acquired by Prosegur, an unrelated third party. When Transpev discontinued its operations after the asset sale to Prosegur, it had unpaid federal taxes and social contributions owing to the Brazilian tax authorities. The Brazilian tax authorities brought a claim against Transpev and beginning in 2012 brought claims against Prosegur and Servicos on the grounds that Prosegur and Servicos were successors in interest to Transpev. To date, the Brazilian tax authorities filed 12 claims against Servicos asserting potential tax liabilities of approximately $14 million. There are potentially 25 additional claims against Transpev/Prosegur for which Servicos is named as a co-defendant or may be named, but for which Servicos has not yet been served. These additional claims amount to approximately $50 million making the total potential exposure for all 37 claims approximately $64 million. We do not believe a liability for these 37 total claims is probable and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for any of these claims. Acquired Contingencies (SunGard) FIS and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries acquired SunGard and SunGard Capital Corp. II (collectively, "SunGard") on November 30, 2015 (the "SunGard Acquisition"). As part of the SunGard acquisition, the Company became responsible for certain contingencies that were assumed. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of March 31, 2019 includes a liability of $64 million largely related to tax compliance matters. Indemnifications and Warranties The Company generally indemnifies its clients, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated solely with its customers' use of the Company's software applications or services. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments under such indemnifications, but continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses when they are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that its software operates substantially in accordance with the software specifications. Historically, no material costs have been incurred related to software warranties and no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Cardinal Holdings FIS holds a 38% ownership stake in Cardinal Holdings, L.P. ("Cardinal") as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The ownership stake in Cardinal is recorded as an equity method investment included within other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The carrying value of this equity method investment as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $141 million and $151 million, respectively. On July 31, 2017, upon closing on the sale of the Capco consulting business and risk and compliance consulting business, FIS and Cardinal entered into a short-term Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"), whereby FIS provided various agreed upon services to Cardinal in 2018. FIS also provides ongoing management consulting services and other services to Cardinal. Amounts transacted through these agreements were not significant to the 2019 and 2018 periods presented. Brazilian Venture The Company operated the Brazilian Venture with Banco Bradesco, in which FIS owned a 51% controlling interest through December 31, 2018, and provided comprehensive, fully-outsourced transaction processing, call center, cardholder support and collection services to multiple card issuing clients in Brazil, including Banco Bradesco. FIS closed a transaction with Banco Bradesco on December 31, 2018 to unwind the Brazilian Venture pursuant to an agreement entered into September 28, 2018. As a result, Banco Bradesco was a related party through December 31, 2018. The Company recorded related party revenue of $87 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 from Banco Bradesco.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Integrated Financial Solutions ("IFS")

The IFS segment is focused primarily on serving North American clients for transaction and account processing, payment solutions, channel solutions, lending and wealth and retirement solutions, corporate liquidity, digital channels, risk and compliance solutions, and services, capitalizing on the continuing trend to outsource these solutions. Clients in this segment include regional and community banks, credit unions and commercial lenders, as well as government institutions, merchants and other commercial organizations. IFS’ primary software applications function as the underlying infrastructure of a financial institution's processing environment. These applications include core bank processing software, which banks use to maintain the primary records of their customer accounts, and complementary applications and services that interact directly with the core processing applications. These markets are primarily served through integrated solutions and characterized by multi-year processing contracts that generate highly recurring revenue. The predictable nature of cash flows generated from this segment provides opportunities for further investments in innovation, integration, information and security, and compliance in a cost effective manner. The business solutions in this segment included the Reliance Trust Company of Delaware business through its divestiture on December 31, 2018.

Global Financial Solutions ("GFS")

The GFS segment is focused on serving the largest global financial institutions and/or international financial institutions with a broad array of capital markets and asset management and insurance solutions, as well as banking and payments solutions.

GFS clients include the largest global financial institutions, including those headquartered in the United States, as well as all international financial institutions we serve as clients in more than 130 countries around the world, and asset managers, buy- and sell-side securities and trading firms, insurers and private equity firms. These institutions face unique business and regulatory challenges and account for the majority of financial institution information technology spend globally. The purchasing patterns of GFS clients vary from those of IFS clients who typically purchase solutions on an outsourced basis. GFS clients purchase our solutions and services in various ways including licensing and managing technology “in-house,” using consulting and third-party service providers as well as fully outsourced end-to-end solutions. We have long-established relationships with many of these financial institutions that generate significant recurring revenue. The business solutions in this segment included the Company's Brazilian Venture business divested as part of the joint venture unwinding transaction through December 31, 2018.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment consists of corporate overhead expense, certain leveraged functions and miscellaneous expenses that are not included in the operating segments as well as certain non-strategic businesses. At March 31, 2019, the only business unit remaining in this segment is the Global Commercial Services business, as the non-strategic businesses were divested. In particular, the Certegy Check Services business unit in North America was divested on August 31, 2018. The overhead and leveraged costs relate to marketing, corporate finance and accounting, human resources, legal, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates revenue-generating segment performance, such as acquisition, integration and certain other costs. The Corporate and Other segment also includes the impact on revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of adjusting deferred revenue from the SunGard acquisition to fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded acquisition and integration costs primarily related to the potential acquisition of Worldpay, and certain other costs including those associated with data center consolidation activities of $8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded acquisition, integration and certain other costs primarily related to the SunGard acquisition of $57 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to our segments, is presented in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (defined as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization) plus certain non-operating items. The non-operating items affecting the segment profit measure generally include acquisition accounting adjustments and acquisition, integration and certain other costs. For consolidated reporting purposes, these costs and adjustments are recorded in the Corporate and Other segment for the periods discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA for the respective segments excludes the foregoing costs and adjustments.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2018 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to the classifications used in 2019. Amounts in tables in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes may not sum due to rounding.

We report the results of our operations in three reporting segments: Integrated Financial Solutions (“IFS”), Global Financial Solutions (“GFS”) and Corporate and Other (see Note 13).
