Recent Accounting Standards [Abstract] |
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" Update No. 2016-09. Update No. 2016-09 was issued in March 2016 and affects all entities that issue share-based awards to their employees. This update was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, the Company elected to no longer estimate forfeitures on stock compensation and instead recognize forfeitures when they occur. The election required a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings which did not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial position. Additionally, the disclosure requirements of this standard will be applied on a prospective basis. FASB ASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" Update No. 2017-09. Update No. 2017-09 was issued in May 2017 to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice when applying guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification. (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. (3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. FASB ASC Topic 310-20 "Receivables - Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs" Update No. 2017-08. Update No. 2017-08 was issued in March 2017 to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company early adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017 and the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position was immaterial. FASB ASC Topic 715 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits" Update No. 2017-07. Update No. 2017-07 was issued in March 2017 to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit costs. This update requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The amendments in this update also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which the financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. That is, early adoption should be within the first interim period if an employer issues interim financial statements. Disclosures of the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle are required in the first interim and annual periods of adoption. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. FASB ASC Subtopic 610-20 "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" Update No. 2017-05. Update No. 2017-05 was issued in February 2017 to clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term in substance nonfinancial asset, in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. The amendments in this update also clarify that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. A contract that includes the transfer of ownership interests in one or more consolidated subsidiaries is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. For purposes of that evaluation, the amendments require an entity to evaluate the underlying assets in consolidated subsidiaries to determine whether those assets are within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The guidance may be applied earlier but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods in that reporting period. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. FASB ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other " Update No. 2017-04. Update No. 2017-04 was issued in January 2017 to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, by eliminating Step 2 for the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity is no longer required to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit has been acquired in a business combination. An entity should apply the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this update. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position. FASB ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Update No. 2014-09. Update No. 2014-09 was issued in May 2014 to address the previous revenue recognition requirements in GAAP that differ from those in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Accordingly, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The largely converged revenue recognition standards will supersede virtually all revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and IFRS. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Since the issuance of Update 2014-09, the FASB has finalized various amendments to the standard as summarized below: FASB ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Update No. 2016-20 FASB ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Update No. 2016-12 FASB ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Update No. 2016-10 FASB ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Update No. 2016-08. FASB ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Update No. 2015-14. The amendments in Update 2016-20 make minor corrections or minor improvements to the codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Through Updates 2016-12, 2016-10 and 2016-08, the FASB amended its new revenue guidance on licenses of intellectual property, identification of performance obligations, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The FASB also clarified the definition of a completed contract at transition and added a practical expedient to ease transition for contracts that were modified prior to adoption. The FASB also amended the new revenue recognition guidance on determining whether an entity is a principal or an agent in an arrangement which affects whether revenue should be reported gross or net. Following the issuance of Update 2015-14, Update 2014-09, as amended, is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. A full or modified retrospective transition method is required. The Company's revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, and noninterest income. Interest income, mortgage banking income, gain on sale of equity securities, increase in cash surrender value of life insurance policies and loan level derivative income are accounted for under other U.S. GAAP standards, and are therefore anticipated to be out of scope of the ASC 606 revenue standard. Deposit account fees, interchange and ATM fees, investment management and certain categories of other noninterest income are anticipated to be within the scope of the ASC 606 revenue standard. As such, the Company is currently reviewing contracts related to these revenue streams and at this point does not anticipate any material changes to revenue recognition upon adoption, however, the Company’s review is still ongoing. The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 and anticipates using the modified retrospective transition method upon adoption.
