Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

| Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (‘Interim Financial Statements’) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘US GAAP’). The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company’s management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2012 (‘2011 10-K’). In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB’) issued an Accounting Standards Update to disclosure requirements for common fair value measurement. These amendments, which became effective for us in the first quarter of 2012, result in common definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure requirements between US GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance had an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements. This update requires companies to present comprehensive income in a single statement below net income or in a separate statement of comprehensive income immediately following the income statement. This requirement became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2012, and we have included the required presentation in this and our previous Form 10-Q. |

Of these costs, $2 million was incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2012 (three months ended June 30, 2011: $nil). During 2011, the Company incurred severance costs of $89 million relating to the Company’s 2011 Operational Review. These costs related to approximately 1,200 positions that were eliminated.

Cash Retention Awards As part of the Company’s incentive compensation, the Company makes annual cash retention awards to its employees. Employees must repay a proportionate amount of these awards if they voluntarily leave the Company’s employ (other than in the event of redundancy, retirement or permanent disability) before a certain time period, currently up to three years. The Company makes cash payments to its employees in the year it grants these retention awards and recognizes these payments ratably over the period they are subject to repayment, beginning in the quarter in which the award is made. The unamortized portion of cash retention awards is recorded within other current assets and other non-current assets. The following table sets out the amount of cash retention awards made and the related amortization of those awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:
Unamortized cash retention awards totaled $301 million as of June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011: $196 million; June 30, 2011: $293 million). |

| EARNINGS PER SHARE |
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to Willis Group Holdings by the average number of shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares or resulted in the issuance of shares that then shared in the net income of the Company. At June 30, 2012, time-based and performance-based options to purchase 8.7 million and 6.9 million shares (2011: 9.9 million and 7.5 million), respectively, and 1.2 million restricted stock units (2011: 1.4 million), were outstanding.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
Options to purchase 6.5 million shares and 6.2 million shares were not included in the computation of the dilutive effect of stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 respectively because the effect was antidilutive (three and six months ended June 30, 2011: 2 million). |

| PENSION PLANS |
6. PENSION PLANS The components of the net periodic benefit (income) cost of the UK, US and international defined benefit plans are as follows:
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had made cash contributions of $40 million (2011: $40 million) into the UK defined benefit pension plan, in addition to $6 million (2011: $6 million) in respect of employees’ salary sacrifice contributions. $16 million and $4 million (2011: $13 million and $4 million) of cash contributions were made to the US and international defined benefit pension plans respectively. On March 30, 2012, the Company agreed a revised schedule of contributions with the UK pension trustee which sets out the contributions toward on-going accrual of benefits and deficit funding contributions the Company will make to the UK plan over the next six years ended December 31, 2017. Contributions in 2012 are expected to total $92 million, of which approximately $23 million relates to on-going contributions calculated as 15.9 percent of active plan members’ pensionable salaries, approximately $57 million relates to contributions towards funding the deficit and approximately $12 million relates to employees’ salary sacrifice contributions. In addition, further contributions will be payable based on a profit share calculation (equal to 20 percent of EBITDA in excess of $900 million per annum as defined by the revised schedule of contributions) and an exceptional return calculation (equal to 10 percent of any exceptional returns made to shareholders, for example, share buybacks and special dividends). In respect of 2012, any such contributions will be paid in 2013 on finalization of the calculations. Aggregate contributions under the deficit funding contribution and the profit share calculation are capped at £312 million ($489 million) over the six years ended December 31, 2017. The schedule of contributions is automatically renegotiated after three years and at any earlier time jointly agreed by the Company and the Trustee. The Company also expects to contribute approximately $40 million to the US plan and $12 million to the international plans for the full year 2012 (inclusive of amounts contributed in the first half). |

| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contractual Obligations Pensions Changes to the Company’s pension funding obligations are set out in Note 6 – ‘Pension Plans’. Other Contractual Obligations In July 2010, the Company made a capital commitment of $25 million to Trident V Parallel Fund, LP. As of June 30, 2012 there had been approximately $9 million of capital contributions. In May 2011, the Company made a capital commitment of $10 million to Dowling Capital Partners I, LP. As of June 30, 2012 there had been approximately $1 million of capital contributions.
Claims, Lawsuits and Other Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various actual and potential claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings relating principally to alleged errors and omissions in connection with the placement of insurance and reinsurance. Similar to other corporations, the Company is also subject to a variety of other claims, including those relating to the Company’s employment practices. Some of the claims, lawsuits and other proceedings seek damages in amounts which could, if assessed, be significant. Errors and omissions claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business are covered in part by professional indemnity or other appropriate insurance. The terms of this insurance vary by policy year and self-insured risks have increased significantly in recent years. Regarding self-insured risks, the Company has established provisions which are believed to be adequate in the light of current information and legal advice, and the Company adjusts such provisions from time to time according to developments. On the basis of current information, the Company does not expect that the actual claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, to which the Company is subject, or potential claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings relating to matters of which it is aware, will ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and disputes with insurance companies, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. The material actual or potential claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings, of which the Company is currently aware, are: European Commission Sector Inquiry In 2006, the European Commission (‘EC’) issued questionnaires pursuant to its Sector Inquiry (or, in respect of Norway, the European Free Trade Association Surveillance Authority (‘EFTAS’)), related to insurance business practices, including compensation arrangements for brokers, to at least 150 European brokers including our operations in nine European countries. The Company filed responses to the questionnaires. On September 25, 2007, the EC and EFTAS issued a joint report expressing concerns over potential conflicts of interest in the industry relating to remuneration and binding authorities and also over the nature of the coinsurance market. The Company cooperated with both the EC and the EFTAS to resolve issues raised in their final joint report regarding coinsurance. In 2012, the EC has appointed Ernst & Young to conduct a review of the coinsurance market and Ernst & Young has approached one broking firm in each Member State. Three of our European subsidiaries (UK, Spain and the Netherlands) recently either met with Ernst & Young or received questionnaires from them on this matter this year. We anticipate the EC will report in late 2012 or early 2013. Contingent Compensation Class Action Since August 2004, the Company and HRH (along with various other brokers and insurers) have been named as defendants in purported class actions in various courts across the United States. All of these actions have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (‘MDL’). These actions allege that the brokers breached their duties to their clients by entering into contingent compensation agreements with either no disclosure or limited disclosure to clients and participated in other improper activities. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, including punitive damages, and certain equitable relief. In May 2011, the majority of defendants, including the Company and HRH, entered into a written settlement agreement with plaintiffs. On June 28, 2011, the Judge entered an Order granting preliminary approval to the settlement agreement. A total of 84 members of the class have opted out of the settlement. The Court approved the settlement on March 30, 2012. The amount of the settlement paid by the Company and HRH is immaterial and was previously reserved. On April 12, 2012, one member of the settlement class filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit from the District Court’s Final Order Approving Settlement. The briefing schedule for this appeal has not yet been set.
Additional actions could be brought in the future by individual policyholders. The Company disputes the allegations in all of these suits and has been and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously against these actions. The outcomes of these lawsuits, however, including any losses or other payments that may occur as a result, cannot be predicted at this time. Stanford Financial Group Litigation The Company has been named as a defendant in six similar lawsuits relating to the collapse of The Stanford Financial Group (‘Stanford’), for which Willis of Colorado, Inc. acted as broker of record on certain lines of insurance. The complaints in these actions generally allege that the defendants actively and materially aided Stanford’s alleged fraud by providing Stanford with certain letters regarding coverage that they knew would be used to help retain or attract actual or prospective Stanford client investors. The complaints further allege that these letters, which contain statements about Stanford and the insurance policies that the defendants placed for Stanford, contained untruths and omitted material facts and were drafted in this manner to help Stanford promote and sell its allegedly fraudulent certificates of deposit. The six actions are as follows:
On May 10, 2011, the court presiding over the Stanford-related actions in the Northern District of Texas entered an order providing that it would consider the applicability of SLUSA to the Stanford-related actions based on the decision in a separate Stanford action not involving a Willis entity, Roland v. Green, Civil Action No. 3:10-CV-0224-N. On August 31, 2011, the court issued its decision in Roland, dismissing that action with prejudice under SLUSA. On October 27, 2011, the court in Troice entered an order (i) dismissing with prejudice those claims asserted in the Third Amended Class Action Complaint on a class basis on the grounds set forth in the Roland decision discussed above and (ii) dismissing without prejudice those claims asserted the Third Amended Class Action Complaint on an individual basis. Also on October 27, 2011, the court entered a final judgment in the action. On October 28, 2011, the plaintiffs in Troice filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Subsequently, Troice, Roland and a third action captioned Troice, et al. v. Proskauer Rose LLP, Civil Action No. 3:09-CV-01600-N, which also was dismissed on the grounds set forth in the Roland decision discussed above and on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, were consolidated for purposes of briefing and oral argument. Following the completion of briefing and oral argument, on March 19, 2012, the Fifth Circuit reversed and remanded the actions. On April 2, 2012, the defendants-appellees filed petitions for rehearing en banc. On April 19, 2012, the petitions for rehearing en banc were denied. On July 18, 2012, defendants-appellees filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court regarding the Fifth Circuit’s reversal in Troice. Additional actions could be brought in the future by other investors in certificates of deposit issued by Stanford and its affiliates. The Company disputes these allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously against these actions. The outcomes of these actions, however, including any losses or other payments that may occur as a result, cannot be predicted at this time. Regulatory Investigation Given the increased interest expressed by US and UK regulators in the effectiveness of compliance controls relating to financial crime in our market sector in particular, we began a voluntary internal review of our policies and controls four years ago. This review included analysis and advice from external experts on best practices, review of public regulatory decisions, and discussions with government regulators in the US and UK. In addition, during 2010 and 2011 the UK Financial Services Authority (the ‘FSA’) conducted an investigation of Willis Limited’s, our UK brokerage subsidiary, compliance systems and controls between 2005 and 2009. On July 21, 2011, we and the FSA announced a settlement under which the FSA concluded its investigation by assessing a £7 million ($11 million) fine on Willis Limited for lapses in its implementation and documentation of its controls to counter the risks of improper payments being made to non-FSA authorized overseas third parties engaged to help win business, particularly in high risk jurisdictions. Our discussions with US regulators have concluded with no enforcement action.
As a result of the FSA settlement, we are conducting a further internal review of all payments made between 2005 and 2009. We do not believe that this further internal review will result in any material fines or sanctions, but there can be no assurance that any resolution will not have an adverse impact on our ability to conduct our business in certain jurisdictions. While we believe that our current systems and controls are adequate and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure that such systems and controls will prevent any violations of applicable laws and regulations. |

| DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments In addition to the note below, see Note 9 — ‘Fair Value Measurement’ — for information about the fair value hierarchy of derivatives. Primary Risks Managed by Derivative Financial Instruments The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The Company’s board of directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks as summarized below. The Company enters into derivative transactions (principally interest rate swaps and forward foreign currency contracts) in order to manage interest rate and currency risks arising from the Company’s operations and its sources of finance. The Company does not hold financial or derivative instruments for trading purposes. Interest Rate Risk — Investment Income As a result of the Company’s operating activities, the Company receives cash for premiums and claims which it deposits in short-term investments denominated in US dollars and other currencies. The Company earns interest on these funds, which is included in the Company’s financial statements as investment income. These funds are regulated in terms of access and the instruments in which they may be invested, most of which are short-term in maturity. In order to manage interest rate risk arising from these financial assets, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate of interest denominated in the various currencies related to the short-term investments. The use of interest rate contracts essentially converted groups of short-term variable rate investments to fixed rates. The fair value of these contracts was recorded in other assets and other liabilities. For contracts that qualified as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, the effective portions of changes in fair value were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge relationships are highly effective. As disclosed in Item 7A — ‘Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk’ on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company stopped entering into any new hedging transactions relating to interest rate risk from investments, given the current flat yield curve environment. Further to this, during second quarter 2012, the Company closed out its legacy position for these interest rate swap contracts. The fair value of these swaps at the close out date was $16 million, representing a cash settlement amount on termination. In connection with the terminated swaps, the Company retained a gain of $15 million in other comprehensive income as the forecasted short-term investment transactions in relation to which the swaps qualified as cash flow hedges are still considered probable. These amounts will be reclassified into earnings consistent with when the forecasted swap transactions would have affected earnings. We expect approximately $3 million of the gain to be recognized in the income statement in the remainder of 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Company had no derivative financial instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk on investments.
Interest Rate Risk — Interest Expense The Company has debt consisting of $2,050 million fixed rate senior notes and $295 million under a 5-year term loan facility. The Company also has access to $520 million under two revolving credit facilities; as of June 30, 2012, $50 million was drawn on these facilities. The 5-year term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. Drawings under the revolving $500 million credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. These margins apply while the Company’s debt rating remains BBB-/Baa3. Should the Company’s debt rating change, then the margin will change in accordance with the credit facilities agreements. The fixed rate senior notes bear interest at various rates as detailed in Note 14 — ‘Debt’. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $350 million to receive a fixed rate and pay a variable rate on a semi-annual basis, with a maturity date of July 15, 2015. The Company has designated and accounts for these instruments as fair value hedges against its $350 million 5.625% senior notes due 2015. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are included within other assets or other liabilities and the fair value of the hedged element of the senior notes is included within long-term debt. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s interest rate swaps were all designated as hedging instruments. Foreign Currency Risk The Company’s primary foreign exchange risks arise:
The foreign exchange risks in its London market operations are hedged as follows:
The fair value of foreign currency contracts is recorded in other assets and other liabilities. For contracts that qualify as accounting hedges, changes in fair value resulting from movements in the spot exchange rate are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income whilst changes resulting from a movement in the time value are recorded in interest expense. For contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting, the total change in fair value is recorded in interest expense. Amounts held in comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s foreign currency contracts were all designated as hedging instruments except for those relating to short-term cash flows in its London market operations.
The table below summarizes by major currency the contractual amounts of the Company’s forward contracts to exchange foreign currencies for Pounds sterling in the case of US dollars and US dollars for Euro and Japanese yen.
In addition to forward exchange contracts we undertake short-term foreign exchange swaps for liquidity purposes, these are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. Both the fair value and the year to date gain/loss at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were immaterial. Derivative Financial Instruments The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and their balance sheet classification at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
Cash Flow Hedges The table below presents the effects of gains/(losses) on derivative financial instruments in cash flow hedging relationships on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:
Amounts above shown gross of tax.
For interest rate swaps all components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. For foreign exchange contracts, only the changes in fair value resulting from movements in the spot exchange rates are included in this assessment. In instances where the timing of expected cash flows can be matched exactly to the maturity of the foreign exchange contract then changes in fair value attributable to movement in the forward points are also included.
At June 30, 2012 the Company estimates there will be $12 million of net derivative gains reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income into earnings within the next twelve months. Fair Value Hedges The table below presents the effects of derivative financial instruments in fair value hedging relationships on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. |

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The following table presents, for each of the fair-value hierarchy levels, the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments held or issued to finance the Company’s operations is summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents — The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short maturities. Fiduciary funds — Fair values are based on quoted market values. Long-term debt excluding the fair value hedge — Fair values are based on quoted market values and so classified as Level 1 measurements. Derivative financial instruments — Market values have been used to determine the fair value of interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts based on estimated amounts the Company would receive or have to pay to terminate the agreements, taking into account the current interest rate environment or current foreign currency forward rates.

| GOODWILL |
10. GOODWILL Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over the fair market value of identifiable net assets at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment testing annually and whenever facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When a business entity is sold, goodwill is allocated to the disposed entity based on the fair value of that entity compared to the fair value of the reporting unit in which it is included. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 are as follows:

| DEBT |
14. DEBT Short-term debt and current portion of the long-term debt consists of the following:
Long-term debt consists of the following:
In December 2011 we refinanced our bank facility, comprising a 5-year $300 million term loan and a 5-year $500 million revolving credit facility. The $300 million term loan replaced the $328 million balance on our $700 million 5-year term loan facility and the $500 million revolving facility replaced our $300 million and our $200 million revolving credit facilities. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $10 million relating to these facilities were written off in December 2011 following completion of the refinancing.
The 5-year term loan facility expiring 2016 bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and is repayable in quarterly installments and a final repayment of $225 million is due in the fourth quarter of 2016. Drawings under the new revolving $500 million credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and the facility expires on December 16, 2016. As of June 30, 2012 $50 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. These margins apply while the Company’s debt rating remains BBB-/Baa3. In 2011, the Company issued $300 million of 4.125% senior notes due 2016 and $500 million of 5.750% senior notes due 2021. The effective interest rates of these senior notes were 4.240% and 5.871% respectively, which included the impact of the discount upon issuance. The proceeds were used to repurchase and redeem $500 million of 12.875% senior notes due 2016 including a make-whole payment (representing a slight discount to the contractual make-whole amount) of $158 million. Following the repurchase the Company wrote off $13 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. |

This element represents the portion of the balance sheet assertion valued at fair value by the entity whether such amount is presented as a separate caption or as a parenthetical disclosure. Additionally, this element may be used in connection with the fair value disclosures required in the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Company may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef

Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment.

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

- Definition
Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).
