Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Atlas” or “We” or the “Company”) commenced operations on December 31, 2010. The primary business of Atlas focuses on a managing general agency strategy, primarily through our wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor Group Management, Inc. (“AGMI”). AGMI focuses on a niche market orientation for the “light” commercial automobile sector. This sector includes taxi cabs, non-emergency para-transit, limousine, livery, including certain transportation network companies (“TNC”) drivers/operators, and business autos. Automobile insurance products provide insurance coverage in three major areas: liability, accident benefits and physical damage. Atlas’ business is carried out through its non-insurance company subsidiaries: AGMI, Plainview Premium Finance Company, Inc. (“Plainview Delaware”), UBI Holdings Inc. (“UBI Holdings”) and UBI Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiaries, optOn Digital IP Inc. (“OOIP”) and optOn Insurance Agency Inc. (“optOn” and together with OOIP and UBI Holdings, “UBI”). Prior to a strategic transition, our core business was the underwriting of commercial automobile insurance policies, focusing on the “light” commercial automobile sector, through American Country Insurance Company (“American Country”), American Service Insurance Company, Inc. (“American Service”) and Gateway Insurance Company (“Gateway” and together with American Country and American Service, the “ASI Pool Companies”) and Global Liberty Insurance Company of New York (“Global Liberty” and together with the ASI Pool Companies, our “Insurance Subsidiaries”), along with our wholly owned managing general agency, AGMI. The ASI Pool Companies were placed into rehabilitation under the statutory control of the Illinois Department of Insurance during the second half of 2019 and have been deconsolidated from our consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2019 as a result of these actions. Other regulatory actions were taken in certain states, including restriction, suspension, or revocation of certain state licenses and certificates of authority held by the ASI Pool Companies preceding and following the initiation of rehabilitation. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began actively pursuing the potential sale of Global Liberty, and as a result, Global Liberty has been classified as a discontinued operation. The Insurance Subsidiaries distribute their insurance products through AGMI, which has contracted a network of retail independent agents. Together, the Insurance Subsidiaries are licensed to write property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance in 49 states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. Atlas’ core products are actively distributed in 42 of those states plus the District of Columbia. The Insurance Subsidiaries and the Company’s other non-insurance subsidiaries share common management and operating infrastructure. During the third quarter of 2019, new business writings were restricted or stopped in connection with certain of the Insurance Subsidiaries. See “Note 19, Subsequent Events” and “Part I, Item 2, 2020 Developments” for certain developments with respect to the Company and the Insurance Subsidiaries subsequent to September 30, 2020. Atlas’ ordinary common shares trade on the OTC Markets system under the symbol “AFHIF” (see Note 19, Subsequent Events). Basis of Presentation These statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlas and the entities it controls. Equity investments in entities that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have significant influence and partnership and partnership-like entities in which we have more than minor influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value option. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Atlas’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. Atlas has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented. Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in estimates are recorded in the accounting period in which they are determined Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include deferred tax asset valuation, and allowances on premiums and notes receivable. Revenue Recognition Revenues from contracts with customers include both commission and fee income. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessments of individual contract terms. As an MGA, the Company has contracts with various insurance carriers which determines the Company’s commission income revenue. Each contract specifies what our performance obligations are as an MGA and what determines our commission income revenue, generally gross written premiums, net of cancellations and refunds. Under these contracts there are a number of performance obligations; however, it is the bundle of these services and not a single obligation that results in the performance of the MGA under the contracts. The Company considers these performance obligations as a non-bifurcated bundle of services where the performance obligations are satisfied simultaneous to the point in time where the Company issues a policy, or cancels a policy to an insured. The commission rate stated in the individual contract is the standalone selling price of these non-bifurcated services which is allocated to the service bundle and not to any individual obligation under the various contracts. The revenue included as commission income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $1.7 million and $860,000, respectively and $4.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The balance of receivables related to contracts with customers, which is recorded as part of premiums receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $3.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Premium income is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the respective insurance contracts. Seasonality The P&C insurance business is seasonal in nature. Our ability to generate commission income is also impacted by the timing of policy effective periods in the states in which we operate and products provided by our business partners. For example, January 1 st and March 1 st are common taxi cab renewal dates in Illinois and New York, respectively. Operating Segments

As a result, under IRC Section 382, the use of the Company’s net operating loss and other carryforwards generated prior to the “triggering events” will be subject to a yearly limitation as a result of this “ownership change” for tax purposes, which is defined as a cumulative change of more than 50% during any three-year period by shareholders owning 5% or greater portions of the Company’s shares. Due to the mechanics of the Section 382 calculation when there are multiple triggering events the Company’s losses will generally be limited based on the thresholds of the 2019 triggering event. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the NOLs that will expire unused as a result of the yearly limitation.

When considering the extent of the valuation allowance on Atlas’ deferred tax assets, weight is given by management to both positive and negative evidence. U.S. GAAP states that a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome in determining that a valuation allowance is not needed against deferred tax assets. Based on Atlas’ cumulative loss in recent years and certain deferred tax assets subject to a yearly limitation under Section 382 which will likely result in expiration before utilization, Atlas has recorded a valuation allowance of $33.1 million and $32.5 million for its gross future deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Underwriting Policy and Reinsurance Ceded [Abstract]
Reinsurance Ceded	Reinsurance Ceded As is customary in the insurance industry, Atlas reinsures portions of certain insurance policies it writes, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. Atlas remains contingently at risk with respect to any reinsurance ceded and would incur an additional loss if an assuming company were unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty. Atlas monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Letters of credit are maintained for any unauthorized reinsurer to cover ceded unearned premium reserves, ceded claims and claims adjustment expense reserve balances and ceded paid claims. These policies mitigate the risk of credit quality or dispute from becoming a danger to financial strength. To date, the Company has not experienced any material difficulties in collecting reinsurance recoverables. The below table represents activity of the ASI Pool Companies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The process of determining the provision necessarily involves risks that the actual results may deviate, perhaps substantially, from the best estimates made.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation On January 6, 2011, Atlas adopted a stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) in order to advance the interests of Atlas by providing incentives to eligible persons defined in the plan. In the second quarter of 2013, a new equity incentive plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) was approved by the Company’s common shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, and Atlas ceased to grant new stock options under the preceding Stock Option Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is a securities based compensation plan, pursuant to which Atlas may issue restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, restricted stock, stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, stock options and other forms of equity incentives to eligible persons as part of their compensation. The Equity Incentive Plan is considered an amendment and restatement of the Stock Option Plan, although outstanding stock options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan.

In association with his retirement from the Company’s board of directors, 27,195 options held by Gordon Pratt were canceled effective August 1, 2020. On March 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of Atlas granted equity awards of (i) 200,000 restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares of the Company and (ii) 200,000 options to acquire ordinary voting common shares to the executive officers of the Company as part of the Company’s annual compensation process. The awards were made under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. The awards vest in five On December 31, 2018, the Company awarded restricted stock unit grants for ordinary voting common shares of the Company to its external directors pursuant to a director equity award agreement dated December 31, 2018. The awards, which were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2018, were valued at $40,000 per external director (“Aggregate Award”) and were made under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. The number of restricted stock units awarded was determined by dividing (A) the Aggregate Award by (B) the closing price of a Company ordinary voting common share at the close of market on April 4, 2018, which was $10.50 per share. For new directors, the Aggregate Award is proportionate to the director’s start date and priced as of that same day. During 2018, the Company awarded 17,524 RSU grants having an aggregate grant date fair value of $179,000. The RSUs will vest 33.3% on January 1 of each year with the last vesting period of January 1, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2020, 140,000 ordinary voting restricted common shares were canceled as a result of not meeting annual performance targets. Also during the first quarter of 2020, an additional 20,000 restricted common shares were canceled due to the departure of a former officer. During the third quarter of 2020, 2,540 restricted share units vested related to the retirement of two former directors. In accordance with ASC 718 (Stock-Based Compensation), Atlas has recognized share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award. Share-based compensation expense is a component of other underwriting expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Atlas recognized $82,000 and $188,000 in share-based compensation expense, including income tax expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $277,000 and $685,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, there was $15,000 of unrecognized total compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units for ordinary voting common shares. The expense will be amortized over a weighted average period of 3 months.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company adopted ASC 842 (Leases) as of January 1, 2019, using the transition method wherein entities were allowed to initially apply the new lease standard at adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in an increase of operating lease right-of-use asset totaling approximately $2.5 million, an operating lease liability of approximately $3.1 million and a decrease of net deferred rent liabilities of approximately $600,000 on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position as of January 1, 2019. We currently lease real estate space, automobiles, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are immaterial to the Company, are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease, such as increases to lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position. Certain agreements include an option to extend or renew the lease term at our option. The operating lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising those options. Lease payments are discounted using the implicit discount rate in the lease.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Deconsolidation and Discontinued Operations	Deconsolidation and Discontinued Operations Deconsolidation Effective October 1, 2019, Atlas no longer had statutory responsibility or authority over the financial activities of the ASI Pool Companies while still maintaining their indirect ownership of the ASI Pool Companies. This resulted in the ASI Pool Companies being classified as variable interest entities for which the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary, and they were deconsolidated during the fourth quarter of 2019. The financial results of the ASI Pool Companies are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations through the October 1, 2019 disposal date. There was not re-measurement of any retained interest since no future value was assigned to the deconsolidated entities as a result of the rehabilitation. Management will continue supporting the administrative activities of the ASI Pool Companies as required by the Office of the Special Deputy Receiver of the Illinois Department of Insurance (“OSD”); however, the Company will have no control over the financial activities of these entities. As part of the deconsolidation, notes receivable from the ASI Pool Companies with an outstanding principal balance of $15.5 million are now presented on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. On May 1, 2015, AIAI entered into subordinated surplus debentures (“Surplus Notes”) with the ASI Pool Companies that had a maturity date of April 30, 2020 carrying a variable interest equal to the corporate base rate as reported by the largest bank (measured in assets) with its head office located in Chicago, Illinois, in effect on the first business day of each month for the term of the Surplus Notes plus two percent per annum on the unpaid principal balance with a maximum variable interest rate for any month not to exceed the initial rate for the Surplus Notes by more than ten percent per annum. These Surplus Notes are subject to various terms and conditions as set forth by the Illinois Department of Insurance and the Missouri Department of Insurance and require prior written approvals for the payment of interest and/or a reduction in principal (See Note 19, Subsequent Events and Part I, Item 2, 2020 Developments). These Surplus Notes could be used at some point to offset future amounts payable to the ASI Pool Companies. Discontinued Operations During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began actively pursuing the potential sale of Global Liberty, and as a result, Global Liberty has been classified as a discontinued operation and the results of Global Liberty’s operations are reported separately for all periods presented. Summary financial information for Global Liberty included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is presented below: Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations ($ in ‘000s) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net premiums earned $ 3,208 $ 6,054 $ 11,048 $ 21,633 Net investment (loss) income (27) 99 (44) 396 Net realized losses — 28 (1,565) (46) Total revenue 3,181 6,181 9,439 21,983 Net claims incurred 1,071 3,742 3,424 15,700 Acquisition costs 389 350 2,818 3,222 Other underwriting expenses 1,682 1,342 3,840 3,152 Interest (income) — — — (68) Total expenses 3,142 5,434 10,082 22,006 Income (loss) from operations before income taxes 39 747 (643) (23) Income tax benefit — — (522) — Net income (loss) $ 39 $ 747 $ (121) $ (23) Statements of Comprehensive Income ($ in ‘000s) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income (loss) $ 39 $ 747 $ (121) $ (23) Other comprehensive income: Changes in net unrealized investments gains 54 (60) 299 540 Reclassification to net income (loss) (3) 167 (96) 450 Other comprehensive income 51 107 203 990 Total comprehensive income $ 90 $ 854 $ 82 $ 967 The assets and liabilities of Global Liberty are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and are detailed as follows: ($ in ‘000s) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets Investments Fixed income securities, available for sale, at fair value (amortized cost $7,516 and $14,016) $ 7,942 $ 14,239 Short-term investments, at cost — 491 Other investments 1,306 1,315 Total investments 9,248 16,045 Cash and cash equivalents 1,178 7,712 Accrued investment income 52 78 Reinsurance recoverables on amounts paid 1,115 2,227 Reinsurance recoverables on amounts unpaid 14,358 18,339 Prepaid reinsurance premiums 15,574 3,765 Deferred policy acquisition costs 682 534 Property and equipment, net — 1,741 Other assets 4,405 861 Total assets $ 46,612 $ 51,302 Liabilities Claims liabilities $ 27,338 $ 46,771 Unearned premium reserves 21,652 12,423 Due to reinsurers 32 1,019 Other liabilities and accrued expenses 3,740 2,554 Total liabilities $ 52,762 $ 62,767

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events	Sep. 30, 2020
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events As previously disclosed, the Company was unable to timely file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to delays in the 2019 year end audit process, which delayed our filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and, as a result, our filing of this quarterly report. As a result of this delay, the Company received delinquency notices from Nasdaq related to these filings as well as other matters. On August 31, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K advising that Nasdaq would suspend trading in the Company’s securities effective at the open of business on September 2, 2020. Nasdaq filed a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC on October 27, 2020 notifying the SEC of Nasdaq’s determination to remove the Company’s common shares from listing on Nasdaq under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The formal delisting of the Company’s common shares from Nasdaq became effective on November 6, 2020, ten days after the Form 25 was filed. In connection with the suspension of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company’s common shares began to trade on the OTC Markets system effective with the open of the markets on September 2, 2020. Subsequent to the Gateway transaction (see Part I, Item 2, 2020 Developments), Buckle proposed terms to acquire the stock, charter and state licenses of American Country and American Service. In connection therewith, a required court order was entered on August 11, 2020 to place American Country and American Service in liquidation, with the Director acting as the statutory liquidator. AIAI and the Director as statutory liquidator of American County and American Service signed a stock purchase agreement on November 2, 2020. The closing of this pending transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other conditions. On February 7, 2021, AIAI entered into a Paycheck Protection Program promissory note with respect to a loan of $2,000,000 (the “Second PPP Loan”) from Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third”). The Second PPP Loan was obtained pursuant to the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program Second Draw Loans under the Small Business Act (“SB Act”), and is subject to the terms and conditions of the SB Act, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and related legislation and regulations (the “PPP Rules”). The Company was eligible for this Second PPP loan because our equity securities are not a National Markets System stock traded on a national securities exchange as defined by Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Second PPP Loan matures on February 7, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Company will not be obligated to make any payments of principal or interest if the Company submits a loan forgiveness application to Fifth Third within 10 months after the end of the Company’s covered loan forgiveness period (as defined and interpreted by the PPP Rules) and such loan forgiveness is allowed. If the Company does not submit a loan forgiveness application within 10 months after the end of the Company’s loan forgiveness covered period (and such forgiveness is not allowed), the Company must begin paying principal and interest after that period (or after notice that such forgiveness is not allowed). The Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and press releases since September 30, 2020 provide more detailed disclosures regarding the above events.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation These statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlas and the entities it controls. Equity investments in entities that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have significant influence and partnership and partnership-like entities in which we have more than minor influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value option. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year.
Estimates and Assumptions	Estimates and Assumptions
Revenue Recognition	Revenue RecognitionRevenues from contracts with customers include both commission and fee income. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessments of individual contract terms. As an MGA, the Company has contracts with various insurance carriers which determines the Company’s commission income revenue. Each contract specifies what our performance obligations are as an MGA and what determines our commission income revenue, generally gross written premiums, net of cancellations and refunds. Under these contracts there are a number of performance obligations; however, it is the bundle of these services and not a single obligation that results in the performance of the MGA under the contracts. The Company considers these performance obligations as a non-bifurcated bundle of services where the performance obligations are satisfied simultaneous to the point in time where the Company issues a policy, or cancels a policy to an insured. The commission rate stated in the individual contract is the standalone selling price of these non-bifurcated services which is allocated to the service bundle and not to any individual obligation under the various contracts.

Pertinent Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) are issued from time to time by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by the Company as they become effective. All recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to October 1, 2020 have been adopted by the Company.
