Summary of Signficant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Operations [Text Block] | NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (the “Company”) provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in Lee County, Alabama and surrounding counties through its wholly owned subsidiary, AuburnBank (the “Bank”). The Company does not have any segments other than banking that are considered material.
Basis of Accounting [Text Block] | Ba sis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these fin ancial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fa ir statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of oper ations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim periods or the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Consolidation Policy [TextBlock] | The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Auburn National Bancorporation Capital Trust I is an affiliate of the Company and was included in these unaudite d consolidated financial statements pursuant to the equity method of accounting. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management t o make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ac tual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losse s, fair value of financial instruments, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and other real estate owned.
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated the effects of events and transactions through the date of this filing that have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014. The Company does not believe there were any material subsequent events during this period that would have required further recognition or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
New Accounting Pronouncements Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounting Developments In the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted new guidance related to the following Accounting Standards Update (“Update” or “ASU”): • ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Car ryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists; Information about t his pronouncement is described in more detail below. ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, is expected to eliminate diversity in practice as it provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax c redit carryforward exists. The changes were effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2014. Adoption of this ASU had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
