Use of Estimates
Generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. While management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at December 31, 2021, actual results could differ from those estimates and affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the corresponding revenues and expenses as of the date of the financial statements. The operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 ("fiscal 2022"). 
We increased our allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2021 to $2,689 from $2,074 at March 31, 2021. The increase in the period is primarily attributable to an accrual for bad debts related to potentially uncollectible receivables, mainly in our EMEA reportable segment.
We typically record compensation cost related to performance stock units that are initially deemed probable to meet our performance target 100% of the award fair value. However, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, we adjusted our compensation cost to reflect the likelihood of certain performance stock units granted in fiscal 2020 vesting based on the Company's financial performance. We determined that these awards were not probable to meet the related performance condition; therefore we have recorded income from a reversal of compensation cost of $1,073. We also recognized incremental compensation cost in the three months ended December 31, 2021 of $107 on certain fiscal 2021 and 2022 performance stock units based on the expected financial performance of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combinations - In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, ("ASU") 2021-08 - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASC 805). ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. Under this "Topic 606 approach," the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the contracts. This is a departure from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities at fair value. The ASU is effective for all public business entities in annual and interim periods starting after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. We intend to evaluate the option to early adopt should we execute a business combination before mandatory adoption. Adopting this standard could have a material impact on revenue associated with an acquired business.

Government Assistance - In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-10 - Government Assistance, which creates new Codification Topic 832 (government assistance). This new topic addresses the requirement for disclosures when an entity receives government assistance. The requirements state the entity should disclose the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policies used, the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item, and significant terms and conditions of the transactions. Topic 832 is effective for all public business entities in annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application is permitted. We have early adopted this standard effective October 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform - In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848). The update is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU became effective in March of 2020. As of December 31, 2021, we have not yet elected any optional expedients provided in the standard. We will apply the accounting relief, if necessary, as relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications are made during the reference rate reform transition period.

Income Taxes - In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12 - Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU amends ASC 740 to simplify certain requirements related to income taxes, specifically as it relates to interim period accounting for changes in tax law and year-to-date loss limitation in interim period accounting. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2021, and such adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
