Basis of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Columbia” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, including its wholly owned banking subsidiary Columbia State Bank (“Columbia Bank” or the “Bank”) and Columbia Trust Company (“Columbia Trust”). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Because of reclassifications, changes occurred in the manner in which certain comparative period noninterest income items were presented in the unaudited consolidated statements of income. Specifically, fee revenue previously presented as ‘Service charges and other fees’ and certain fee revenue previously presented as ‘Other’ were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company made these presentation changes to provide additional information about its sources of noninterest income. There was no change to total noninterest income as previously reported as a result of these reclassifications. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have not been any changes in our significant accounting policies compared to those contained in our 2015 Form 10-K disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2015.
