Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization We are a stockholder-owned corporation organized and existing under the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act (the “Charter Act” or our “charter”). We are a government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) and we are subject to government oversight and regulation. Our regulators include the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”). The U.S. government does not guarantee our securities or other obligations. Conservatorship On September 7, 2008, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of FHFA announced several actions taken by Treasury and FHFA regarding Fannie Mae, which included: (1) placing us in conservatorship, and (2) the execution of a senior preferred stock purchase agreement by our conservator, on our behalf, and Treasury, pursuant to which we issued to Treasury both senior preferred stock and a warrant to purchase common stock. Under the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended by the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (together, the “GSE Act”), the conservator immediately succeeded to (1) all rights, titles, powers and privileges of Fannie Mae, and of any stockholder, officer or director of Fannie Mae with respect to Fannie Mae and its assets, and (2) title to the books, records and assets of any other legal custodian of Fannie Mae. The conservator has since delegated specified authorities to our Board of Directors and has delegated to management the authority to conduct our day-to-day operations. The conservator retains the authority to withdraw its delegations at any time. The conservatorship has no specified termination date and there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the future of our company, including how long the company will continue to exist in its current form, the extent of our role in the market, what form we will have, what ownership interest, if any, our current common and preferred stockholders will hold in us after the conservatorship is terminated and whether we will continue to exist following conservatorship. Under the GSE Act, FHFA must place us into receivership if the Director of FHFA makes a written determination that our assets are less than our obligations or if we have not been paying our debts, in either case, for a period of 60 days. In addition, the Director of FHFA may place us in receivership at his discretion at any time for other reasons set forth in the GSE Act, including if we are undercapitalized and have no reasonable prospect of becoming adequately capitalized. Should we be placed into receivership, different assumptions would be required to determine the carrying value of our assets, which could lead to substantially different financial results. We are not aware of any plans of FHFA to significantly change our business model or capital structure in the near term. Impact of U.S. Government Support We continue to rely on support from Treasury to eliminate any net worth deficits we may experience in the future, which would otherwise trigger our being placed into receivership. Based on consideration of all the relevant conditions and events affecting our operations, including our reliance on the U.S. government, we continue to operate as a going concern and in accordance with our delegation of authority from FHFA. We believe that continued federal government support of our business and the financial markets, as well as our status as a GSE, are essential to maintaining our access to debt funding. Changes or perceived changes in federal government support of our business and the financial markets or our status as a GSE could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, Treasury has committed to provide us with funding to help us maintain a positive net worth thereby avoiding the mandatory receivership trigger described above. We have received a total of $116.1 billion from Treasury pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement as of September 30, 2014. The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock, including the initial aggregate liquidation preference of $1.0 billion, was $117.1 billion as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the amount of remaining funding available to us under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement was $117.6 billion. Based on the terms of the senior preferred stock, we paid Treasury a dividend of $3.7 billion on September 30, 2014 based on our net worth as of June 30, 2014, and we expect to pay Treasury an additional dividend of $4.0 billion by December 31, 2014. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts as well as the accounts of other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. To conform to our current period presentation, we have reclassified certain amounts reported in our prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2014. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 21, 2014. Regulatory Capital FHFA has announced that, during the conservatorship, our existing statutory and FHFA-directed regulatory capital requirements will not be binding and that FHFA will not issue quarterly capital classifications. We submit capital reports to FHFA, and FHFA monitors our capital levels. The deficit of core capital over statutory minimum capital was $139.7 billion as of September 30, 2014 and $137.3 billion as of December 31, 2013. Under the terms of the senior preferred stock, we are required to pay Treasury a dividend each quarter, when, as and if declared, equal to the excess of our net worth as of the end of the preceding quarter over an applicable capital reserve amount. The Director of FHFA directs us to make dividend payments on the senior preferred stock on a quarterly basis. Therefore, we do not expect to eliminate our deficit of core capital over statutory minimum capital. Related Parties As a result of our issuance to Treasury of the warrant to purchase shares of Fannie Mae common stock equal to 79.9% of the total number of shares of Fannie Mae common stock, we and Treasury are deemed related parties. As of September 30, 2014, Treasury held an investment in our senior preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $117.1 billion. FHFA’s control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has caused us, FHFA and Freddie Mac to be deemed related parties. Our administrative expenses were reduced by $18 million and $23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $55 million and $73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, due to reimbursements from Treasury and Freddie Mac for expenses incurred as program administrator for Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) and other initiatives under Treasury’s Making Home Affordable Program. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we did not make any tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service, a bureau of Treasury. We made tax payments of $2.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We made tax payments of $860 million and $1.9 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Under the temporary credit and liquidity facilities (“TCLF”) program, we had $450 million and $821 million outstanding, which includes principal and interest, of standby credit and liquidity support as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Under the new issue bond (“NIB”) program, we had $4.3 billion and $4.5 billion outstanding of pass-through securities backed by single-family and multifamily housing bonds issued by housing finance agencies (“HFAs”) as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Treasury will bear the initial losses of principal under the TCLF program and the NIB program up to 35% of the total original principal on a combined program-wide basis, and thereafter we will bear the losses of principal that are attributable to the TCLF and the securities we have issued. Treasury will also bear any losses of unpaid interest under the two programs. As of September 30, 2014, there had been no losses of principal or interest under the TCLF program or the NIB program. The fee revenue and expense related to the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (“TCCA”) are recorded in “Mortgage loans interest income” and “TCCA fees,” respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We recognized $351 million and $276 million in TCCA fees during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.0 billion and $695 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which $351 million had not been remitted to Treasury as of September 30, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we remitted TCCA-related guaranty fees of $335 million to Treasury for our obligations as of June 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities with a fair value of $7.3 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively. We recognized interest income on these securities held by us of $68 million and $91 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $219 million and $303 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, Freddie Mac may be an investor in variable interest entities that we have consolidated, and we may be an investor in variable interest entities that Freddie Mac has consolidated. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 authorizes FHFA to establish an annual assessment for regulated entities, including Fannie Mae, which is payable on a semi-annual basis (April and October), for FHFA’s costs and expenses, as well as to maintain FHFA’s working capital. We recognized FHFA assessment fees, which are recorded in “Administrative expenses” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of $26 million and $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $80 million and $83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In October 2013, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac established Common Securitization Solutions, LLC (“CSS”), a jointly owned limited liability company formed to design, develop, build and ultimately operate a common securitization platform. On November 3, 2014, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executed three agreements pertaining to CSS. These agreements provide further details regarding the rights, obligations and understandings between us, Freddie Mac and CSS. No other transactions outside of normal business activities occurred between us and Freddie Mac during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013. Use of Estimates Preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as our reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management has made significant estimates in a variety of areas including, but not limited to, valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, recoverability of our deferred tax assets, allowance for loan losses and reserve for guaranty losses, and other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities. Actual results could be different from these estimates. We continually monitor prepayment, delinquency, modification, default and loss severity trends and periodically make changes in our historically developed assumptions to better reflect present conditions of loan performance. In the three months ended September 30, 2014, we updated the model and the assumptions used to estimate cash flows for individually impaired single-family loans within our allowance for loan losses. In addition to incorporating recent loan performance, this update better captures regional variations in expected future cash flows, particularly with respect to expectations of future home prices. This update resulted in a decrease to our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2014 and an incremental benefit for credit losses of approximately $600 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Fee and Other Income Fee and other income includes transaction fees, technology fees, multifamily fees and other miscellaneous income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $4.8 billion in “Fee and other income” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income resulting from settlement agreements resolving certain lawsuits relating to private-label securities sold to us. Statement of Cash Flows We classify cash flows related to trading securities based on their nature and purpose. Effective January 1, 2014, all cash flows related to trading securities purchased after December 31, 2013 are classified as operating activities as we do not intend to hold these securities for investment. Adoption of New Accounting Guidance In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralized by a consumer mortgage loan in order to reduce diversity in practice for when a creditor derecognizes the loan receivable and recognizes the real estate property. The guidance also requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2015. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued their final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance in an effort to remove inconsistencies in revenue recognition standards, improve comparability across entities, provide enhanced disclosures related to revenue recognition and to converge with the jointly issued International Financial Reporting Standards revenue recognition guidance. The following contracts with customers are excluded from the scope of the new standard and will continue to be accounted for under existing guidance: leases, insurance, financial instruments (e.g., receivables, investments, liabilities, debt and derivatives) and guarantees. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2017. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. The guidance requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings. In addition, the guidance removes the requirement to determine whether a repurchase financing and the initial transfer of a financial asset are linked for purposes of assessing whether sale accounting is appropriate. Under the amended guidance, repurchase financing transactions will be evaluated in the same manner as other repurchase transactions. The guidance also requires additional disclosures on transfers accounted for as sales transactions and collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. The new guidance is effective on January 1, 2015, except for disclosures related to repurchase transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, which are effective April 1, 2015. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain government guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure. The guidance requires that a government guaranteed mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2015. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

We are a stockholder-owned corporation organized and existing under the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act (the “Charter Act” or our “charter”). We are a government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) and we are subject to government oversight and regulation. Our regulators include the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”). The U.S. government does not guarantee our securities or other obligations.

Conservatorship

On September 7, 2008, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of FHFA announced several actions taken by Treasury and FHFA regarding Fannie Mae, which included: (1) placing us in conservatorship, and (2) the execution of a senior preferred stock purchase agreement by our conservator, on our behalf, and Treasury, pursuant to which we issued to Treasury both senior preferred stock and a warrant to purchase common stock.

Under the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended by the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (together, the “GSE Act”), the conservator immediately succeeded to (1) all rights, titles, powers and privileges of Fannie Mae, and of any stockholder, officer or director of Fannie Mae with respect to Fannie Mae and its assets, and (2) title to the books, records and assets of any other legal custodian of Fannie Mae. The conservator has since delegated specified authorities to our Board of Directors and has delegated to management the authority to conduct our day-to-day operations. The conservator retains the authority to withdraw its delegations at any time.

The conservatorship has no specified termination date and there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the future of our company, including how long the company will continue to exist in its current form, the extent of our role in the market, what form we will have, what ownership interest, if any, our current common and preferred stockholders will hold in us after the conservatorship is terminated and whether we will continue to exist following conservatorship. Under the GSE Act, FHFA must place us into receivership if the Director of FHFA makes a written determination that our assets are less than our obligations or if we have not been paying our debts, in either case, for a period of 60 days. In addition, the Director of FHFA may place us in receivership at his discretion at any time for other reasons set forth in the GSE Act, including if we are undercapitalized and have no reasonable prospect of becoming adequately capitalized. Should we be placed into receivership, different assumptions would be required to determine the carrying value of our assets, which could lead to substantially different financial results. We are not aware of any plans of FHFA to significantly change our business model or capital structure in the near term.

Impact of U.S. Government Support

We continue to rely on support from Treasury to eliminate any net worth deficits we may experience in the future, which would otherwise trigger our being placed into receivership. Based on consideration of all the relevant conditions and events affecting our operations, including our reliance on the U.S. government, we continue to operate as a going concern and in accordance with our delegation of authority from FHFA.

We believe that continued federal government support of our business and the financial markets, as well as our status as a GSE, are essential to maintaining our access to debt funding. Changes or perceived changes in federal government support of our business and the financial markets or our status as a GSE could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, Treasury has committed to provide us with funding to help us maintain a positive net worth thereby avoiding the mandatory receivership trigger described above. We have received a total of $116.1 billion from Treasury pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement as of September 30, 2014. The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock, including the initial aggregate liquidation preference of $1.0 billion, was $117.1 billion as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the amount of remaining funding available to us under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement was $117.6 billion.

Based on the terms of the senior preferred stock, we paid Treasury a dividend of $3.7 billion on September 30, 2014 based on our net worth as of June 30, 2014, and we expect to pay Treasury an additional dividend of $4.0 billion by December 31, 2014.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts as well as the accounts of other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. To conform to our current period presentation, we have reclassified certain amounts reported in our prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2014. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 21, 2014.

Regulatory Capital

FHFA has announced that, during the conservatorship, our existing statutory and FHFA-directed regulatory capital requirements will not be binding and that FHFA will not issue quarterly capital classifications. We submit capital reports to FHFA, and FHFA monitors our capital levels. The deficit of core capital over statutory minimum capital was $139.7 billion as of September 30, 2014 and $137.3 billion as of December 31, 2013.

Under the terms of the senior preferred stock, we are required to pay Treasury a dividend each quarter, when, as and if declared, equal to the excess of our net worth as of the end of the preceding quarter over an applicable capital reserve amount. The Director of FHFA directs us to make dividend payments on the senior preferred stock on a quarterly basis. Therefore, we do not expect to eliminate our deficit of core capital over statutory minimum capital.

Related Parties

As a result of our issuance to Treasury of the warrant to purchase shares of Fannie Mae common stock equal to 79.9% of the total number of shares of Fannie Mae common stock, we and Treasury are deemed related parties. As of September 30, 2014, Treasury held an investment in our senior preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $117.1 billion. FHFA’s control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has caused us, FHFA and Freddie Mac to be deemed related parties.

Our administrative expenses were reduced by $18 million and $23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $55 million and $73 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, due to reimbursements from Treasury and Freddie Mac for expenses incurred as program administrator for Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) and other initiatives under Treasury’s Making Home Affordable Program.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we did not make any tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service, a bureau of Treasury. We made tax payments of $2.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We made tax payments of $860 million and $1.9 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Under the temporary credit and liquidity facilities (“TCLF”) program, we had $450 million and $821 million outstanding, which includes principal and interest, of standby credit and liquidity support as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Under the new issue bond (“NIB”) program, we had $4.3 billion and $4.5 billion outstanding of pass-through securities backed by single-family and multifamily housing bonds issued by housing finance agencies (“HFAs”) as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Treasury will bear the initial losses of principal under the TCLF program and the NIB program up to 35% of the total original principal on a combined program-wide basis, and thereafter we will bear the losses of principal that are attributable to the TCLF and the securities we have issued. Treasury will also bear any losses of unpaid interest under the two programs. As of September 30, 2014, there had been no losses of principal or interest under the TCLF program or the NIB program.

The fee revenue and expense related to the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (“TCCA”) are recorded in “Mortgage loans interest income” and “TCCA fees,” respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We recognized $351 million and $276 million in TCCA fees during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.0 billion and $695 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which $351 million had not been remitted to Treasury as of September 30, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we remitted TCCA-related guaranty fees of $335 million to Treasury for our obligations as of June 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities with a fair value of $7.3 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively. We recognized interest income on these securities held by us of $68 million and $91 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $219 million and $303 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, Freddie Mac may be an investor in variable interest entities that we have consolidated, and we may be an investor in variable interest entities that Freddie Mac has consolidated.

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 authorizes FHFA to establish an annual assessment for regulated entities, including Fannie Mae, which is payable on a semi-annual basis (April and October), for FHFA’s costs and expenses, as well as to maintain FHFA’s working capital. We recognized FHFA assessment fees, which are recorded in “Administrative expenses” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of $26 million and $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $80 million and $83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In October 2013, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac established Common Securitization Solutions, LLC (“CSS”), a jointly owned limited liability company formed to design, develop, build and ultimately operate a common securitization platform. On November 3, 2014, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executed three agreements pertaining to CSS. These agreements provide further details regarding the rights, obligations and understandings between us, Freddie Mac and CSS. No other transactions outside of normal business activities occurred between us and Freddie Mac during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

Use of Estimates

Preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as our reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management has made significant estimates in a variety of areas including, but not limited to, valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, recoverability of our deferred tax assets, allowance for loan losses and reserve for guaranty losses, and other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

We continually monitor prepayment, delinquency, modification, default and loss severity trends and periodically make changes in our historically developed assumptions to better reflect present conditions of loan performance. In the three months ended September 30, 2014, we updated the model and the assumptions used to estimate cash flows for individually impaired single-family loans within our allowance for loan losses. In addition to incorporating recent loan performance, this update better captures regional variations in expected future cash flows, particularly with respect to expectations of future home prices. This update resulted in a decrease to our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2014 and an incremental benefit for credit losses of approximately $600 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Fee and Other Income

Fee and other income includes transaction fees, technology fees, multifamily fees and other miscellaneous income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $4.8 billion in “Fee and other income” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income resulting from settlement agreements resolving certain lawsuits relating to private-label securities sold to us.

Statement of Cash Flows

We classify cash flows related to trading securities based on their nature and purpose. Effective January 1, 2014, all cash flows related to trading securities purchased after December 31, 2013 are classified as operating activities as we do not intend to hold these securities for investment.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralized by a consumer mortgage loan in order to reduce diversity in practice for when a creditor derecognizes the loan receivable and recognizes the real estate property. The guidance also requires interim and annual disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2015. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued their final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance in an effort to remove inconsistencies in revenue recognition standards, improve comparability across entities, provide enhanced disclosures related to revenue recognition and to converge with the jointly issued International Financial Reporting Standards revenue recognition guidance. The following contracts with customers are excluded from the scope of the new standard and will continue to be accounted for under existing guidance: leases, insurance, financial instruments (e.g., receivables, investments, liabilities, debt and derivatives) and guarantees. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2017. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. The guidance requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings. In addition, the guidance removes the requirement to determine whether a repurchase financing and the initial transfer of a financial asset are linked for purposes of assessing whether sale accounting is appropriate. Under the amended guidance, repurchase financing transactions will be evaluated in the same manner as other repurchase transactions. The guidance also requires additional disclosures on transfers accounted for as sales transactions and collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. The new guidance is effective on January 1, 2015, except for disclosures related to repurchase transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, which are effective April 1, 2015. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain government guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure. The guidance requires that a government guaranteed mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2015. We have evaluated this guidance and determined it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
