An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.</div><div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 3pt; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-bottom: 3pt; font-size: 10pt;">In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities."  The amendments in this ASU clarify the scope for derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to netting arrangements.  An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.</div><div style="margin-top: 3pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 3pt; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-bottom: 3pt; font-size: 10pt;">In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."  The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  In addition, the amendments require a cross-reference to other disclosures currently required for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period.  Companies should apply these amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012.  The Company has included the required disclosures from ASU 2013-02 in the consolidated financial statements.</div><div> </div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of the adoption of new accounting pronouncements that may impact the entity's financial reporting.No definition available.false0falseGeneral (Policies)UnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://fauquierbank.com/role/GeneralPolicies12
