Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements of Tiptree Financial Inc. were compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) using the accounting policies set forth in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and were all of a normal recurring nature. Below are the significant accounting policies associated with the Company’s subsidiary Luxury acquired in January 2014: Accounting Policies Substantially all loans originated by the Company are held for sale to permanent investors. The Company has elected to record all mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets (level 2 inputs) and is determined on a loan by loan basis. Luxury issues interest rate lock commitments (IRLC) to its customers, which are carried at estimated fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair values of these commitments are generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell certain government sponsored agency securities. The fair values of these commitments generally result in a Level 2 classification. Luxury’s revenues include interest income earned for the period associated with loans on Luxury’s balance sheet, gain on sale income representing the difference between the fair value and the selling price of the related loan sold as well as any fee income earned at origination. The following recently issued accounting standards are applicable to the Company and have not yet been implemented: In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)-Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. These amendments change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the first quarter of 2015 for the Company, and the Company is evaluating the effect upon its financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this standard affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods and services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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 and services. This standard is effective for the Company January 1, 2017 and the Company is evaluating the effect upon its financial statements.
