Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank (the "Bank"), along with the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Peoples Investment Services, Inc., Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. ("REAS") Community Bank Real Estate Solutions, LLC ("CBRES") and PB Real Estate Holdings, LLC (collectively called the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CBRES was moved from a wholly owned subsidiary of Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc. to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank effective August 31, 2016. The Bank operates four banking offices focused on the Latino population under the name Banco de la Gente ("Banco"). These offices are operated as a division of the Bank. Banco offers normal and customary banking services as are offered in the Bank's other branches such as the taking of deposits and the making of loans and therefore is not considered a reportable segment of the Company. The Bank operates one Banco loan production office in Durham County and one Banco loan production office in Forsyth County specifically designed to serve the growing Latino market. The consolidated financial statements in this report (other than the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (none of which were other than normal accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. Many of the Company's accounting policies require significant judgment regarding valuation of assets and liabilities and/or significant interpretation of the specific accounting guidance. A description of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2015 Annual Report to Shareholders which is Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the May 5, 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, (Topic 842): Leases. ASU No. 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. ASU No. 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method to an investment that subsequently qualifies for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. ASU No. 2016-07 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net). ASU No. 2016-08 addresses how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties. ASU No. 2016-08 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2016-09 was issued in an effort to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In April 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. ASU No. 2016-10 clarifies guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. ASU No. 2016-12 amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to clarify guidance related to collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. ASU No. 2016-12 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 provides guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU No. 2016-15 clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or disclosures.
