Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF” or the “firm”) is a financial holding company which, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in various financial services activities, including providing investment management services to retail and institutional clients, merger & acquisition and advisory services, the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities, and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products. The firm also provides corporate and retail banking services, and trust services. As a result of our acquisition of TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (“TriState Capital”) on June 1, 2022, which included TriState Capital Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered state bank, we renamed our Raymond James Bank segment to “Bank” segment. The Bank segment reflects the results of our banking operations and includes the results of Raymond James Bank and, since June 1, 2022, TriState Capital Bank. There were no changes to the prior period presentation of the Bank segment. For further information about the acquisition of TriState Capital and our business segments, see Note 3 and Note 25, respectively. As used herein, the terms “our,” “we,” or “us” refer to RJF and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RJF and its consolidated subsidiaries that are generally controlled through a majority voting interest. We consolidate all of our 100%-owned subsidiaries. In addition, we consolidate any variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary. Additional information on these VIEs is provided in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2021 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 10 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). When we do not have a controlling interest in an entity, but we exert significant influence over the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounting estimates and assumptions Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) but is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The nature of our business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Beginning with our fiscal third quarter of 2022, we reclassified acquisition-related expenses which were previously reported in “Acquisition-related expenses” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income to the respective income statement line items that align with the nature of the expenses, including reclassifications to “Compensation, commissions, and benefits,” “Professional fees,” or “Other” expenses, as appropriate. Prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation. In addition to the reclassifications discussed above, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
