Basis of Presentation, Business Operations and Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Business Operations and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Business Operations and Recent Accounting Pronouncements The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2015, and related notes thereto contained in Champion Industries, Inc.’s Form 10-K filed January 29, 2016. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet information as of October 31, 2015 was derived from our audited financial statements. Reclassifications and Revisions Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. Newly Issued Accounting Standards Effective July 1, 2009, changes to the ASC are communicated through an ASU. As of January 31, 2016, the FASB has issued ASU’s 2009-01 through 2016-01. The Company reviewed each ASU and determined that they will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, other than related disclosures to the extent applicable. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items” (“ASU 2015-01”). ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The Company adopted ASU 2015-01 in December, 2015. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation, or cash flows, but will have an impact on related presentation and disclosure to the extent applicable in future periods. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 provides guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The current standard is to measure inventory at lower of cost or market; where market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 updates this guidance to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value; where net realizable value is considered to be the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 in December, 2015. This amendment did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation, or cash flows given the nature of the Company’s business and its relatively short inventory holding period. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 updates guidance on classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities from current and noncurrent to all noncurrent when a classified balance sheet is presented. The netting of deferred tax assets and liabilities to present a single amount will remain with this update. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-17 in December, 2016. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation, or cash flows, but will impact presentation of such deferred tax assets and liabilities to the extent applicable.

Reclassifications and Revisions

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

Effective July 1, 2009, changes to the ASC are communicated through an ASU. As of January 31, 2016, the FASB has issued ASU’s 2009-01 through 2016-01. The Company reviewed each ASU and determined that they will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, other than related disclosures to the extent applicable.
