Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | Note 1 –Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Global Inc. together with its subsidiaries, including Heritage Global Partners, Inc. (“HGP”), Heritage Global LLC (“HG LLC”), Equity Partners HG LLC (“Equity Partners”), National Loan Exchange Inc. (“NLEX”), C2 Communications Technologies Inc., and C2 Investments Inc. These entities, collectively, are referred to as “HGI”, the “Company”, “we” or “our” in these financial statements. Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all subsidiaries over which HGI exercises control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. We have prepared the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, we believe that the disclosures are appropriate. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of those operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2014. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, contained in the above referenced Form 10-K.
