Failure to comply with, [added: compliance with] or changes in, laws and regulations applicable to our businesses could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences
We operate our business around the world, including in numerous developing economies where companies and government officials are more likely to engage in business practices that are [removed: prohibited by domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010.]
[added: Among other things, the BSA requires certain financial institutions,] including banks and money services businesses (such as national trust banks and providers of prepaid access like us), to develop and implement risk-based anti-money laundering programs, report large cash transactions and suspicious activity, and maintain transaction records.
Further, bank [removed: regulators, including the OCC which regulates the ADP Trust Bank,] [added: regulators] continue to impose additional and stricter requirements on banks to ensure they are meeting their BSA obligations, and banks are increasingly viewing money services [removed: businesses, as a class,] [added: businesses and third-party senders] to be higher risk customers for money laundering.
[removed: These regulatory restrictions on banks and changes to banks’ internal risk-based policies and procedures may result in a decrease in] the number of banks that may do business with us, may require us to materially change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business, may decrease our revenues and earnings and could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Failure to comply with privacy, data [removed: protection] [added: protection, artificial intelligence] and cyber security laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences
These laws, which are not uniform, generally do one or more of the following: regulate the collection, storage, hosting, transfer (including in some cases, the transfer outside the country of collection), processing, disclosure, use, security and [added: retention and destruction of personal information; require notice to individuals of privacy practices; give individuals certain access and correction rights with respect to their personal information; and regulate the use or disclosure of personal information for secondary purposes such as marketing.]
The European Union (the “EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and state consumer privacy laws like the California [removed: Consumer Protection Act (the “CCPA”), which will be replaced by the voter-approved California] Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (the “CPRA”), are among the most comprehensive of these laws, and more and more jurisdictions are adopting similarly comprehensive laws that impose new data privacy protection requirements and restrictions.
We believe that providing insights [added: and content] from data, including [added: via] artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), will become increasingly important to the value that our solutions and services deliver to our [removed: customers.][added: clients.]
[removed: However,] [added: As a result,] the ability to provide data-driven insights [added: and otherwise leverage AI and ML] may be constrained by current or future [added: laws,] regulatory [added: or self-regulatory] requirements or ethical considerations, including our own published, guiding ethical principles regarding AI and ML, that could restrict or impose burdensome and costly requirements on our ability to leverage data [added: and/or these technologies] in innovative ways.
Complying with privacy, data [removed: protection] [added: protection, AI] and cyber security laws and requirements, including the enhanced obligations imposed by the GDPR, our BCRs and the [removed: CCPA and] CPRA, may result in significant costs to our business and require us to amend certain of our business practices.
In addition, data security [removed: events and] [added: events,] concerns about privacy abuses by other companies [added: and increased awareness of the potential (positive and negative) of AI] are changing consumer and social expectations for enhanced [removed: privacy] [added: protections (including with respect to bias] and [removed: data protection.][added: potential discrimination).]
As a result, [removed: even] [added: noncompliance,] the [added: failure to meet such expectations or the] perception of [removed: noncompliance,] [added: noncompliance or such failure,] whether or not valid, may damage our reputation.
We rely on patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, [removed: customers,] [added: clients,] vendors, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights.
Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, which [removed: may be successful.]
We may be found to be infringing upon [removed: such] [added: third party intellectual property] rights, even if we are unaware of their intellectual property rights.
We may also be obligated to indemnify our [removed: customers,] [added: clients,] vendors or partners in connection with any such claim or litigation.
[removed: However, because the] [added: The] techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, are increasingly more complex and sophisticated [removed: and may be difficult] [added: (including due] to [removed: detect for long periods] [added: the use] of [removed: time, we may be unable or fail to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate or timely preventive or responsive measures.][added: AI).]
Unauthorized parties also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other methods of deceiving these third parties or our personnel, including phishing and other social engineering techniques whereby attackers use end-user behaviors to distribute [added: computer viruses and malware into our systems or otherwise compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data or our systems.]
As these threats continue to evolve and [removed: increase,] [added: increase (including due to the use of AI),] we continue to invest significant resources, and may be required to invest significant additional resources, to modify and enhance our information security and controls [removed: and to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.]
[removed: Any] [added: A] cyberattack, unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, corruption of data, ransomware attack, theft of non-public or other sensitive information, or similar act by a malevolent party (including our personnel), or inadvertent acts or inactions by our vendors, partners or personnel, could result in the loss, disclosure or misuse of confidential personal or business information or the theft of client or ADP funds, [removed: and] [added: which] could have a materially adverse effect on our business or results of operations or that of our clients, result in liability, litigation, regulatory investigations and sanctions or a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients, or cause current or potential clients to choose another service provider.
[removed: We rely heavily on our payroll, financial,] accounting, and other data processing systems.
[removed: If] [added: Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, including as a result of AI, and if] we fail to upgrade, enhance and expand our technology and services to meet client needs and preferences, the demand for our solutions and services may materially diminish
Our businesses operate in industries that are subject to rapid technological advances [added: (such as AI)] and changing client needs and preferences.
In order to remain competitive and responsive to client demands, we continually upgrade, enhance, and expand our technology, solutions and [removed: services.][added: services, including by leveraging AI in our solutions.]
If we fail to respond successfully to technology challenges and client needs and [removed: preferences,] [added: preferences or our competitors or other third parties respond to such challenges more quickly or successfully than us,] the demand for our solutions and services may diminish.
In addition, investment in product development [added: and new technologies] often involves a long return on investment cycle.
We have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in product [removed: development.][added: development and new technologies.]
In addition, our business could be adversely affected in periods surrounding our new product introductions if [removed: customers] [added: clients] delay purchasing decisions to evaluate the new product offerings.
A major natural disaster or catastrophic event could have a materially adverse effect on our business, [removed: financial][added: operations, financial condition and results of operations, or have other adverse consequences]
Our business, [added: operations,] financial condition, results of operations, access to capital markets and borrowing costs may be adversely affected by a major natural disaster or catastrophic event, including civil unrest, geopolitical instability, war, terrorist attack, pandemics or other (actual or threatened) public health [removed: emergencies] [added: emergencies, extreme weather,] such as [removed: the COVID-19 outbreak,] [added: droughts, hurricanes, flooding and wildfires (including as a result of climate change),] or other events beyond our control, and measures taken in response thereto.
[removed: The COVID-19 outbreak may have long-term effects on the nature of the office environment and remote working, which] [added: It] may [added: also] present operational and workplace culture challenges that may adversely affect our business.
[removed: While we have contingency plans in place for bank failures, a] systemic shutdown of the banking industry would impede our ability to process funds on behalf of our payroll, tax and other money movement services clients and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.
We publicly share certain information about our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) [removed: initiatives.][added: initiatives, including our net zero greenhouse gas emissions pledge.]
In addition, our ability to achieve certain ESG initiatives and targets may depend on the actions or continuing requirements of governmental entities (e.g., our paperless initiatives may depend on whether certain states continue to require employers to offer employees to be paid via paper check or to obtain [added: employee consent to be paid electronically instead of via paper check).]
Activist stockholders may create perceived uncertainties as to the future direction of our business or strategy, including with respect to our ESG efforts, which may be exploited by our competitors and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, potential [removed: customers] [added: clients] and business partners and may affect our relationships with current [removed: customers,] [added: clients,] vendors, investors and other third parties.
[removed: In addition, actions of activist stockholders may cause periods of fluctuation in our stock price based on temporary or] speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.
Because our PEO is a co-employer with our PEO clients and a Certified PEO by the Internal Revenue Service, we may be subject to certain obligations, responsibilities and liabilities of an employer with respect to Worksite Employees (WSE), including with respect to their wages and the payment thereof, the payment of certain taxes with respect to WSE wages and employee benefits provided to the WSEs.
Even though PEO clients are contractually responsible for the timely remittance of such costs, it is possible that our clients will not remit such payments despite their contractual obligations.
The risk of failing to receive such payments from PEO clients could be magnified during significant financial or other disruptions or catastrophic events, such as the failure of a bank, like that of Signature Bank or Silicon Valley Bank, with whom a significant number of PEO clients may bank at the time, or more widespread stress or failure within the U.S. banking system.
Any such event could prevent or materially delay the recovery of any payments not timely remitted and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.

These regulatory restrictions on banks and changes to banks’ internal risk-based policies and procedures may result in a decrease in
We are increasingly leveraging AI and ML in our solutions and service delivery and are exploring how best to integrate generative AI technologies and develop and deploy capabilities that are beneficial to our clients and their employees.
However, legislation that would govern the development and/or use of AI is under consideration in the U.S. at the state and local level, as well as abroad.
In addition, self-regulatory frameworks like the National
Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk Management Framework are being promulgated and adherence to these may become an industry standard or a client expectation.
may be successful.
In addition, use of AI tools may result in the release of confidential or proprietary information which could limit our ability to protect, or prevent us from protecting, our intellectual property rights.
Additionally, as we expand our use of AI, there is uncertainty regarding intellectual property ownership and license rights of AI algorithms and content generated by AI and we may become subject to similar claims of infringement.
However, as a result of the complexity of our operating environment, the period over which hardware and software has been acquired or other reasons, our programs and processes may not be sufficient or adequate or may fail to prevent, detect or respond to a cybersecurity incident or identify and/or remediate a security vulnerability in our operating environment.
We may fail to anticipate or detect these techniques and/or incidents for long periods of time and, even when we do so, we may be unable or fail to implement adequate or timely preventive or responsive measures.
and to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.
We rely heavily on our payroll, financial,
As new technologies (such as AI) continue to emerge, they may be disruptive to the HCM industry.
These technologies could result in new and innovative HCM products and solutions that could increase competition, place us at a competitive disadvantage or even render obsolete our technology, products and solutions.
We may fail to realize all the economic benefit of our investment in the development of a product which could cause an impairment of goodwill or intangibles and result in a significant charge to earnings.
In connection with our client funds assets investment strategy, we attempt to minimize the risk of not having funds collected from a client available at the time such client’s obligation becomes due by generally impounding the client’s funds at the time of payment of such client’s obligation.
When we don’t impound client funds by the time we pay such client obligations (including for PEO clients with respect to which we are legally obligated for payroll and tax obligations in respect of WSEs as a Certified PEO), we are at risk of not recovering such funds or a material delay in such recovery.
Such risk could be magnified during significant financial or other disruptions or catastrophic events, such as the failure of a bank with whom a significant number of clients may bank at the time or more widespread stress or failure within the U.S. banking system.
Any such event could prevent or materially delay the recovery of any funds from clients and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.
While we have contingency plans in place for bank failures, a

Our HCM solutions, which include both software and outsourcing services, are designed to help our clients manage their workforce through a dynamic business and regulatory landscape and the changing world of work.
We continuously seek to enhance our leading HCM solutions to further support our clients.
We see tremendous growth opportunity ahead as we focus on our three key Strategic Priorities: leading with best-in-class HCM technology, providing unparalleled expertise and outsourcing, and leveraging our global scale for the benefit of our clients.
Executing on our Strategic Priorities will be critical to enabling our growth in the years ahead.
During the fiscal year we drove strong progress across a number of key measures and in support of our overall Strategic Priorities.
We crossed a major milestone, surpassing the 1 million client mark, driven by continued enhancements to our key solutions like RUN and Workforce Now.
We continued the deployment of our unified User Experience to key portions of our portfolio such as the RUN mobile app.
We were awarded Top HR Product for the 8th consecutive year at the annual HR Tech Conference, in recognition for our recently launched Intelligent Self Service Solution.
And our HR Outsourcing businesses continued to grow, now with over 3 million worksite employees served.
For fiscal 2023, we delivered solid revenue growth of 9%, 10% organic constant currency.
Additionally, our strong ES new business bookings performance resulted in full year fiscal 2023 growth of 10%, and client satisfaction gains resulted in a full year ES client revenue retention rate of 92.2%, equal to the highest level we have ever reported.
We believe these results are largely attributable to improvements made to our platforms and service over multiple years.

Through our extensive suite of products, coupled with industry and compliance expertise, we help our clients navigate a highly dynamic world of work in order to give them peace-of-mind and reduce the time and effort they allocate to non-core tasks.
This, in turn, allows our clients to better focus on what matters most to them – running their businesses.
Over the decades since pioneering our industry, we have reshaped HCM time and again by continuously innovating across our technology platforms and service solutions.
Our commitment to innovation is continuous amid challenging business and operating environments – whether it be a global recession or bull market, an international conflict or global pandemic.
We believe businesses, our clients, serve as a force for progress, and we remain committed to rethinking a better, more personalized world at work to help our clients and their workers achieve their full potential.
That commitment underpins our drive to innovate across our portfolio in order to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.
During the fiscal year, we made significant progress on the roll-out of a new unified user experience ("UX") across our strategic products and solutions.
We transitioned hundreds of thousands of clients across our RUN, iHCM, and next-gen HCM client bases over to the new UX, generating positive feedback from this transition to even more intuitive HCM workflows.
We continue to advance all of our key platforms, with Workforce Now being especially critical to our differentiation and growth.
Workforce Now continues building traction in the lower end of the U.S. enterprise market and was instrumental to
ADP being rated an overall "Customer's Choice" provider for the first time in Gartner's annual "Voice of the Customer" study.
In addition to beginning the roll-out of the new UX, this year we continued to make progress on the roll-out of our next-gen payroll solution to a growing portion of our new Workforce Now clients, and we believe these two major enhancements will help keep Workforce Now at the forefront of the industry.
We also made exciting enhancements to other solutions during the fourth quarter.
We started offering self-enrollment with full digital wallet capabilities within the Wisely program, allowing for a more frictionless experience for workers that enables them to more easily transition to our digital payment offering.
We expanded our Earned Wage Access solution by offering a seamless, one-application solution for Wisely members, which enables employees to receive portions of their earned wages prior to paydate at no cost.
We will also be launching "Voice of the Employee", a new employee survey and listening tool, which will help our clients seamlessly capture employee feedback and sentiments across various HR categories during the employee lifecycle, which is critical in a labor market where listening to their employees can help our clients differentiate themselves and better compete in the marketplace.
We continue to drive innovation by anticipating our clients' evolving needs and always designing for people as the world of work changes.
We lead the HCM industry by driving growth through our strategic, cloud-based HCM solutions and developing innovations like our next-gen platforms.
We further enable these solutions by supplementing them with organic, differentiated investments such as the ADP Datacloud and ADP Marketplace, and through our compliance expertise.
For fiscal 2022, we delivered strong revenue growth of 10%.
In addition, Employer Services achieved record New Business Bookings and near-record-level retention of 92.1%.
ADP was named one of Fortune’s Most Admired Companies for the 16th year in a row, which highlights our culture of continuous improvement, our consistency, and our focus on being a true partner to our clients as the world of work continues to change.
For the year ended June 30, respectively:

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of 7-year fixed-rate notes totaling $1.0 billion issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021.
Additionally, there was an increase in average interest rates for commercial paper borrowings to 0.4% for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 0.1% for the year ended June 30, 2021.
This was coupled with an increase in average daily borrowings under our commercial paper program to $2.0 billion for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $1.6 billion for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Other (income)/expense, net, decreased $13.5 million in fiscal 2022, as compared to fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of losses on available-for-sale securities, net, in the current year, compared to gains in the prior year, and the items described below, partially offset by the change in non-service components of pension income, net.
In fiscal 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $19.9 million, which is comprised of $10.5 million related to internally developed software which was determined to have no future use, impairment charges of $9.4 million related to operating right-of-use assets and certain related fixed assets associated with exiting certain leased locations early, and recognizing certain owned facilities at fair value given intent to sell and accordingly classified as held for sale.

ADP's Business Pillars
Our business is organized around three pillars which represent our core growth areas.
*U.S. HR Outsourcing (HRO) Solutions*: In the United States, we offer comprehensive HRO solutions in which we provide complete management solutions for HR
Our business strategy has three key priorities:
With a large and growing addressable market, we are focused on our core growth areas and further enhancing our market position by executing on our Strategy:
- Lead with Best-in-Class HCM Technology. We design and develop world-class HCM platforms that simplify work and utilize enabling technologies like artificial intelligence and modern cloud architecture.
We aim to solve the needs of our clients and their workers today by making HCM transactions effortless and compliant, while anticipating their needs of tomorrow by incorporating valuable data insights and guidance into our solutions to help them better understand their workforce and how they compare to industry peers, and position them to make better decisions.
- Provide Unmatched Expertise and Outsourcing Solutions. Our clients look to us as a source of expertise to understand key HR trends and best practices, employment and related legislation, and to offer thoughtful strategies to utilize HCM technology to achieve their business objectives and support their workforce.
Many of our clients also look to us to take on responsibility for a portion or all of their HCM workflow via one of our HRO solutions.
We intend to continue to build on our deep expertise and make it readily available to our clients through a variety of channels, ranging from traditional call and chat options to self-guided and AI-powered options.
We will continue to leverage our decades of experience, our significant data insights, and investments in AI and other enabling
technologies to help our clients and their workers navigate the ever-changing world of work.
- Benefit our Clients with Our Global Scale. Our clients benefit from our unmatched global footprint and scale in the HCM industry.
We will continue to build on these strengths to further improve our client experience, and to add to our global footprint to further meet our clients where they choose to do business and address their needs for a distributed and flexible workforce.
We intend to build more relationships with partners, such as through the ADP Marketplace, in order to provide clients with seamless integrations and customizations that simplify their HR processes and help them meet their needs.
And we will grow our sales organization and continue to invest in best-in-class sales technology to not only make the purchase experience seamless but to also empower our sellers to provide the deep expertise and insights our clients, partners and influencers require to ensure they have the right HCM solutions to help them achieve their objectives and make a meaningful impact for their employees.
As we continue to invest in and execute on our Strategy, we intend to continue to exceed the expectations of our clients and enable them and their people to reach their full potential.
For over 70 years, we have proven that actively listening and responding to what clients and their employees need and want keeps the world of work progressing forward.
This spirit of innovation remains a steady guide as we continue to listen and respond to emerging needs.
The size and breadth of ADP gives us a unique opportunity, especially in the era of data and data-driven products, to test innovative ideas, validate hypotheses and refine solutions before we bring them to the market.
This happens through our “client-zero” program, which forges a direct connection point between our internal HR practitioners and our technologists.
A key area of focus is using data and feedback from front-line practitioners to build products that improve the employee experience and make HR technology more intentional and in the moment.
By innovating with a client-centric mindset, we continue to transform work.
In today’s world of work, people-data has never been more important.
It gives companies the information they need to identify the depth and scope of people issues, anticipate and solve challenges, foster connections across their workforce and drive business outcomes.
Sitting at the center of workforce data, we leverage the unrivaled scale, breadth, and depth of our data to provide the insights businesses need to create a better world of work.
Our data is also the basis for our renowned ADP National Employment Report, which the ADP Research Institute (ADPRI) and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab recently retooled to provide a more robust, independent high-frequency view of the labor market and trajectory of economic growth in the United States.
Artificial intelligence (AI) drives many of the key features of ADP’s data products.
Skills Graph powers ADP’s Candidate Profile Relevancy tool to help score, assess and predict candidates who are the best fit for a job opening and is designed to minimize the introduction of bias by, among other things, focusing on the skills, education, and experience of an applicant.
Model-Based Benchmarks are driven by a set of deep learning models that extract
We are also using AI to respond to the needs of HR practitioners.
ADP’s data-driven Intelligent Self-Service solution uses predictive analytics and machine learning to proactively address common employee HR challenges before the need to contact their HR departments arises, freeing HR practitioners to focus on higher value initiatives.
It was named a “Top HR Product” at the 2022 HR Technology Conference, marking the 8th consecutive year we have received this award for continued product innovation.
highlights tech breakthroughs that promise to define the future of their industries.
As we continue to explore the potential that new technologies like generative AI can provide as we design and develop innovative solutions, we understand the great responsibility we have to approach these innovations in a way that is ethical, secure, and compliant for our business and the clients and workers we serve around the world.
This led to our establishment of an interdisciplinary working group across ADP to determine governance for use cases and adoption of a set of principles and processes to govern the use of these newer technologies, including operational monitoring of recommendations made by AI/ML technologies.
Leveraging ADP’s long-standing payroll expertise and data security, small

With more than 650 apps and integrations to choose from, ADP Marketplace offers clients a modern HR experience that they can tailor to their specific needs.
Helping Clients and their Employees Emerge Stronger from the COVID-19 Global Pandemic
The COVID-19 global pandemic created extremely challenging circumstances for our clients and their employees and, throughout, our priority has been to help them navigate these challenges.
As they evolved their business models and operations to address changes in the economy and workplace, we provided and continue to provide trusted solutions, data and expertise.
As COVID-19 restrictions eased, employers returned to the workplace and designed new policies reflecting the demand for remote and hybrid work models, and we supported their efforts by providing tools that helped them manage compliance confidently, achieve business continuity, and support employee wellness and engagement, including our award-winning Return to Workplace dashboard powered by ADP DataCloud.
The dashboard uses data analytics and employee surveys to allow clients to monitor workforce trends including availability, health attestation results, and worker readiness and sentiment toward returning to the workplace.
As the way people work is reshaped, our innovative technology,
data and expertise make ADP the partner that clients trust as they adapt to the new world of work and create workplaces where everyone can thrive.
Our reportable segments are based on the way that management reviews the performance of, and makes decisions about, our business.
Our strategic pillars represent the strategic growth areas for our business.
The results of our business related to products and solutions within the HCM Solutions pillar, the HRO Solutions pillar (other than PEO products and solutions) and the Global Solutions pillar are contained within our Employer Services segment.
The results of our business within the HRO Solutions pillar related to our PEO products and solutions are contained within our PEO segment.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] and the related statements of consolidated earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 3, [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the [added: Company's] financial statements based on our audits.
The Company uses the discounted cash flow model to estimate fair [removed: value,] [added: value] which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenue and operating margin.
In addition, the discounted cash flow model requires the Company to select an appropriate weighted average cost of capital based on current market conditions as of June 30, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Forecasts of future revenue and operating margin from the Company’s next-gen platform, for which there is limited historical data, contribute significantly to the estimate of fair value of a reporting unit within the Employer Services reportable segment with approximately $678 million of goodwill as of June 30, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
The Company has reported client funds obligations as a current liability in the consolidated financial statements totaling [removed: $51,285.5] [added: $38,538.6] million as of June 30, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
