Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Sandy Spring Bancorp (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, is the bank holding company for Sandy Spring Bank (the “Bank”). Independent and community-oriented, Sandy Spring Bank offers a broad range of commercial banking, retail banking, mortgage and trust services throughout central Maryland, Northern Virginia, and the g reater Washington, D.C. market. Through its subsidiaries, Sandy Spring Insurance Corporation and West Financial Services, Inc., Sandy Spring Bank also offers a comprehensive menu of insurance and wealth management services. Basis of Presentation The accou nting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the financial services industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Reg ulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is pre sented to assist the reader in understanding the financial and other data presented in this report. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods or for the year ending December 31, 2018 . In the opinion of management, all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been incl uded. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, as necessary, to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the issuance of its financial statements. These statement s should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2018 . There have been no sign ificant changes to the Company’s accounting p olicies as disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned su bsidiary, Sandy Spring Bank and its subsidiaries, Sandy Spring Insurance Corporation and West Financial Services, Inc. Consolidation has resulted in the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and affect the reported a mounts of revenues earned and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that could change significantly relate to the provision for loan losses and the related allowance, determination of imp aired loans and the related measurement of impairment, potential impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, valuation of investment securities and the determination of whether impaired securities are other-than-temporarily impaired, valuation of ot her real estate owned, prepayment rates, valuation of share-based compensation, the assessment that a liability should be recognized with respect to any matters under litigation, the calculation of current and deferred income taxes and the actuarial projec tions related to pension expense and the related liability. Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with banks (items with stated original maturity of three months or less). Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company’s revenue includes net interest income on financial instruments and non-interest income. Specific categories of revenue are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Most of the Company’s revenue is not within the scope of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For revenue within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company provides services to customers and has related performance obligations. The revenue from such services is recognized upon satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations. The following discusses key revenue streams within the scope of the new revenue recognition guidance. Wealth M anagement Income West Financial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, provides comprehensive investment management and financial planning services. Wealth management income is comprised of income for providing trust, estate and investment management se rvices. Trust services include acting as a trustee for corporate or personal trusts. Investment management services include investment management, record-keeping and reporting of security portfolios. Fees for these services are recognized based on a contra ctually-agreed fixed percentage applied to net assets under management at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not charge/recognize any performance based fees. Insurance Agency Commissions Sandy Spring Insurance, a subsidiary of the Bank, pe rforms the function of an insurance intermediary by introducing the policyholder and insurer and is compensated by a commission fee for placement of an insurance policy. Sandy Spring Insurance does not provide any captive management services or any claim h andling services. Commission fees are set as a percentage of the premium for the insurance policy for which the Sandy Spring Insurance is a producer. The Company recognizes revenue when the insurance policy has been contractually agreed to by the insurer a nd policyholder (at transaction date). Service Charges on Deposit Accounts Service charges on deposit accounts are earned on depository accounts for consumer and commercial account holders and include fees for account and overdraft services. Account servi ces include fees for event-driven services and periodic account maintenance activities. The obligation for event-driven services is satisfied at the time of the event when service is delivered and revenue recognized as earned. Obligation for maintenance ac tivities is satisfied over the course of each month and revenue recognized at month end. Obligation for overdraft services is satisfied at the time of the overdraft and revenue recognized as earned. Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality Acquired loans with evidence of credit deterioration since their origination as of the date of the acquisition are recorded at their initial fair value. Credit deterioration is determined based on the probability of collection of all contractually required princi pal and interest payments. The historical allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is not carried over to the Company’s financial statements. The determination of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include parameters such as past due and non-accrual status, commercial risk ratings, cash flow projections, type of loan and collateral, collateral value and recent loan-to-value ratios or appraised values. For loans acquired with evidence of credit deterioration, the Compa ny determines at the acquisition date the excess of the loan’s contractually required payments over all cash flows expected to be collected as an amount that should not be accreted into interest income (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount, repr esenting the difference in the expected cash flows of acquired loans and the initial investment in the acquired loans, is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool of loans (accretable yield). Subsequent to the purchase date , increases in expected cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized prospectively as interest income over the remaining life of the loan as an adjustment to the accretable yield. The present value of any decreases in expected cash f lows after the purchase date is recognized as an impairment through addition to the valuation allowance. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , in May 2014 that provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The guidance also provides for a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods pr esented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest income and non-interest income. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, net interest income, mortgage origination and servicing activities, and gains and losses from s ecurities. Accordingly, the majority of the Company’s revenues have not been affected. The following revenue streams were identified to be in scope of ASC 606: 1) wealth management income; 2) insurance agency commissions; and 3) service charges on deposit accounts. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The Company’s accounting policies and revenue recognition principles did not change materially as the principles of ASC 606 are largely consistent with the current revenue recognition practices . The FASB issued Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , in February 2018. The guidance permits entities to reclassify from a ccumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to retained earnings stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. The Company made the election to adopt this guidance during the first quarter of 2018 and recl assified $1.5 million of stranded income tax effects from OCI to retained earnings. The Company made the adjustment between OCI and retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as of the beginning of the cur rent reporting period. The FASB issued Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities” , in January 2016. This guidance amends the presentation and accounting for certain fina ncial instruments, including liabilities measured at fair value under fair value option and equity investments. The guidance also updates fair value presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter 2018 with no impact to retained earnings or other comprehensive income. The Company has no investments in marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale accounted for at fair value. The Company’s mar ketable equity securities that do not have determinable fair values are measured at cost less any impairment. The Company’s existing accounting policy is consistent with the measurement alternative provided by the guidance . For purposes of disclosing fair values of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, we determined the fair values based on “exit price” as required by the guidan ce. Pending Accounting Pronouncements The FASB issued Update No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities , in March 2017. This guidance is intended to eliminate the current diversity in practice with respect to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Under current GAAP, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life. As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings. The amendments in this update shorten the amortization p eriod for such callable debt securities held at a premium requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This guidance is effective for a public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer for its fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The FASB issued Upda te No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , in January 2017. The objective of this guidance is to simplify an entity’s required test for impairment of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goo dwill impairment test. In Step 2 an entity measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill, an entity had to d etermine the fair value at the impairment date of its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized assets and liabilities, following a procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a busi ness combination. Under this Update, an entity should perform its annual or quarterly goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit and the entity must consider the income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the rep orting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. This guidance is effective for a public business entity that is an SEC filer for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The FASB issued Update No. 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) , in June 2016. This guidance change s the impairment model for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments. Entities will be required to use an expected loss model, replacing the incurred loss model that is currently in use. Under the new guidance, an entit y will measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current condition and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This will result in earlier recognition of loss allowances in most i nstances. Credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities (regardless of whether the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary) will be measured in a manner similar to the present, except that such losses will be recorded as allowance s rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the related securities. With respect to trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the guidance requires that an entity estimate its lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance resulting in the net amount expected to be collected to be reflected as the financial asset. Entities are also required to provide significantly more disclosures, including infor mation used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. This guidance is effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard’s provisions will be a pplied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption by public business entities is permitted for the first interim or annual period beginning aft er December 15, 2018. The Company assessed the guidance and has identified the available historical loan level information and completed a data gap analysis. The Company is in process of reviewing various calculation methodologies and the approximate impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The FASB issued Update No. 2016-02 , Leases , in February 2016. From the les see’s perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either financ e or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees. The guidance also eliminates the current real estate-specific provision and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial d irect costs and lease executory costs. With respect to lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related r evenue and expense. In applying this guidance entities will also need to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease or service agreement. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financials statement s to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public entities, this guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company assess ed t his guidance and collected relevant terms for each of its lease agreements. The Company is in process of quantifying the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On January 1, 2018 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of WashingtonFirst Bankshares, Inc. (“WashingtonFirst”) in a transaction valued at approximately $447 million in the aggregate, based on the Company’s closing market price of $ 39.02 on December 29, 2017. The Company issued an aggregate of 11,446,197 shares of the Company’s common stock in the transaction. At the effective date of the acquisition, Sandy Spr ing shareholders owned approximately 67.7 % and WashingtonFirst’s shareholders owned approximately 32.3 % of the combined company. As of the Acquisition Date, WashingtonFirst was merged into the Company and WashingtonFirst’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Washingt onFirst Bank, was merged with and into Sandy Spring Bank. WashingtonFirst, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, had 19 community banking offices throughout the Washington D.C. metropolitan region and more than $ 2.1 billion in assets as of December 31, 2017. In addition, WashingtonFirst provided wealth management services through its subsidiary, 1st Portfolio Wealth Advisors, and mortgage banking services through the bank’s subsidiary, WashingtonFirst Mortgage Corporation. The acquisition of WashingtonFirs t is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid are recorded at estimated fair values on the Acquisition Date.

The provisional amount of goodwill recognized as of the Acquisition Date was approximately $260.5 million. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are subject to refinement as additional information relative to clos ing date fair values becomes available. Any subsequent adjustments to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, or other purchase accounting adjustments will result in adjustments to goodwill within the fir st 12 months following the closing date of acquisition. The consideration paid for WashingtonFirst's common equity and the provisional fair values of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date were as follows: (In thousands) January 1, 2018 Purchase Price: Fair value of common shares issued (11,446,197 shares) based on Sandy Spring's share price of $39.02 $ 446,640 Cash for fractional shares 10 Total purchase price $ 446,650 Identifiable assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 32,497 Residential mortgage loans held for sale 25,789 Investment securities 302,321 Loans 1,680,278 Premises and equipment 4,602 Other Real Estate Owned 497 Accrued Interest Receivable 6,648 Other Intangible assets 11,370 Other Assets 33,764 Total identifiable assets $ 2,097,766 Identifiable liabilities: Deposits $ 1,610,327 Borrowings 283,808 Other Liabilities 17,525 Total identifiable liabilities $ 1,911,660 Provisional fair value of net assets acquired including identifiable intangible assets 186,106 Provisional resulting goodwill $ 260,544

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES	Note 8 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company assumed $25.0 million in non-callable subordinated debt and $10.3 million in callable junior subordinated debt securities. The associated purchase premiums at acquisition were $2.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The premiums are amortized over the contractual life of each obligation. The subordinated debt has a maturity of ten years, is due in full on October 15, 2025, is non-callable and currently bears a fixed i nterest rate of 6.00% per annum, payable quarterly, subject to a reset after 5 years (on October 5, 2020) at 3 month LIBOR plus 467 basis points. The entire amount of subordinated debt is considered Tier 2 capital under current regulatory guidelines. In 2 003, Alliance Bankshares Corporation, which was acquired by WashingtonFirst in 2012, issued $10.3 million of junior subordinated debt securities to Alliance Virginia Capital Trust I, of which Alliance Bankshares Corporation owned all of the common securiti es. The trust used the proceeds from the issuance of its underlying common securities and preferred securities, which were sold to third parties, to purchase the debt securities. These debt securities are the trust’s only assets and the interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the preferred securities. The obligations under the debt securities were assumed by the Company at the date of acquisition. The debt securities are due on June 30, 2033 and are callable at any time, wit hout penalty. The interest rate associated with the debt securities is three month LIBOR plus 3.15% subject to quarterly interest rate adjustments. The interest ra te as of June 30, 2018 was 5.49 %. Under the indenture governing the debt securities, the Comp any has the right to defer payments of interest for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. During any such extension period, distributions on the trust’s preferred securities will also be deferred, and the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its com mon stock will be restricted. The trust’s preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debt securities, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. If the debt securities are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption p rice will be the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest. The Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the trust securities subject to certain exceptions, the redemption price with r espect to any trust securities called for redemption and amounts due if the trust is liquidat ed or terminated. As of June 30 , 2018, the Company was current on all interest payments. Under current regulatory guidelines the trust preferred securities are con sidered to be Tier 1 capital.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION	6 Months Ended

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]
SHARE BASED COMPENSATION	Note 9 – Share Based Compensation At June 30, 2018 , the Company had two share based compensation plans in existence, the 2005 Omnibus Stock Plan (“Omnibus Stock Plan”) and the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The Omnibus Stock Plan expired during the second quarter of 2015 but has outstanding options that may still be exercised. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is described in the following paragraph. The Co mpany’s Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved on May 6, 2015 and provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualifying stock options , stock appreci ation rights , restricted stock grants , restricted stock units and performance awards to selected employees on a periodic basis at the discretion of the board. The Omnibus Incentive Plan auth orizes the issuance of up to 1,5 00,000 shares of common stock, of which 1,243,108 are available for issuance at June 30, 2018 , has a term of ten years, and is administered by a committee of at least three directors appointed by the board of directors. Options granted under the plan have an exercise price which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant and must be exercised within seven to ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of stock options must be paid for in full in cash or shares of common stock, or a combination of both. The board committee has the discretion when making a grant of stock options to impose restrictions on the shares to be purchased upo n the exercise of such options. T he Company generally issues authorized but previously unissued sh ares to satisfy option exercises. The fair values of all of the options granted for the periods indicated have been estimated using a bino mial option-pricing model. T he weighted-average assumptions for the periods shown are presented in the following tabl e: Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Dividend yield 2.64 % 2.45 % Weighted average expected volatility 39.13 % 40.27 % Weighted average risk-free interest rate 2.61 % 2.14 % Weighted average expected lives (in years) 5.61 5.67 Weighted average grant-date fair value $11.73 $13.42 The dividend yield is based on estimated future dividend yields. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Expected volatilities are generally based on historical volatilities. The expected term of share options granted is generally derived from historical experience. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective stock option or restricted stock grant. The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, related to the awards of stock option s and restricted stock grants. Compensation expense of $1.1 million and $1.0 million was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0. 3 million and $0.6 millio n, respectively. The total of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was approximately $0. 3 million as of June 30, 2018 . That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2. 2 years . The total of unreco gnized compensation cost related to restric ted stock was approximately $6.4 million as of June 30, 2018 . That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.3 years . The fair value of the options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , was not significant. In the first quarter of 2018 , 16,212 stock options were granted, subject to a three year vesting schedule with one third of the options vesting on April 1 st of each year . The Company granted 36,003 shares of restricted stock in the first quarter of 2018 , of which 9,170 shares are subject to a three year vesting schedule with one third of the shares vesting each year and 26,833 shares subject to a five year vesting schedule with one fi fth of the shares vesting each year. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company granted 46,407 shares of restricted stock, all of which are subject to a five year vesting schedule with one fifth of shares vesting on April 1 st of each year . A summary of share option activity for the period indicated is reflected in the following table: Weighted Number Weighted Average Aggregate of Average Contractual Intrinsic Common Exercise Remaining Value Shares Share Price Life (Years) (in thousands) Balance at January 1, 2018 87,300 $ 26.22 $ 1,160 Granted 16,212 $ 38.15 Exercised (17,927) $ 20.65 $ 337 Forfeited or expired (482) $ 36.68 Balance at June 30, 2018 85,103 $ 29.60 4.2 $ 989 Exercisable at June 30, 2018 54,958 $ 25.46 3.1 $ 860 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ 11.73 A summary of the activity for the Company’s restricted stock for the period indicated is presented in the following table: Number Weighted of Average Common Grant-Date (In dollars, except share data): Shares Fair Value Restricted stock at January 1, 2018 189,035 $ 30.92 Granted 82,410 $ 38.93 Vested (64,875) $ 27.74 Forfeited (1,194) $ 33.05 Restricted stock at June 30, 2018 205,376 $ 35.13

Pension, Profit Sharing, and Other Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract]
PENSION, PROFIT SHARING, AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	Note 10 – Pension, Profit Sharing, and Other Employee Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Pension Plan The Company has a qualified, noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). Benefits after January 1, 2005, are based on the benefit earned as of December 31, 2004, plus benefits earned in future years of service based on the employee’s compensation during each such year. All benefit accruals for employees were frozen as of December 31, 2007 based on past service and thus salary increas es and additional years of service after such date no longer affect the defined benefit provided by the plan although additional vesting may continue to occur. The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet the minim um funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. In addition, the Company contributes additional amounts as it deems appropriate based on benefits attributed to service prior to the date of the plan free ze. The Plan invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of managed fixed income and equity funds. The components of net periodic benefit cost for the periods indicated are presented in the following table: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation $ 385 $ 410 $ 770 $ 820 Expected return on plan assets (465) (496) (930) (992) Recognized net actuarial loss 250 295 500 590 Net periodic benefit cost $ 170 $ 209 $ 340 $ 418 Contributions The decision as to whether or not to make a plan contribution and the amount of any such contribution is dependent on a number of factors. Such factors include the investment performance of the plan assets in the current economy and, since the plan is currently frozen, the remaining investmen t horizon of the plan. After consideration of these factors, the Company made a contribution of $0.2 million to the plan during the second quarter of 2018. The Company did not make any contributions to the plan during the first quarter of 2018. Management continues to monitor the funding level of the pension plan and may make additional contri butions as necessary during 2018 .

Financial Instruments With Off- Balance Sheet Risk and Derivatives [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND DERIVATIVES	Note 13 – Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk and Derivatives The Company has entered into interest rate swaps (“swaps”) to facilitate customer transactions and meet their financing needs. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments. Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty or customer owes the Company, and results in credit risk to the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the customer or counterparty and therefore, has no credit risk. The notional va lue of commercial loan swaps outstanding was $1 7 . 2 m illion with a fair value of $0.5 million a s of June 30, 2018 compared to $17 . 8 m illion with a fair value of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2017 . The swap positions are offset to minimize the potential impact on the Company’s financial statements . Fair values of the swaps are carried as both gross asset s and gross liabilities in the C ondensed C onsolidated S tatements of C ondition. The associated net gains and losses on the swaps are recorded in other no n-interest income.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE	Note 15 – Fair Value Generally accepted accounting principles provide entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and commitments at fair value (i.e. the fair value option), on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a commitm ent. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. The Company applies the fair value option on residential mortgage loans held for sale. The fair value option on residential mortgage loans held for sale allows the recognition of gains on sale of mortgage loans to more accurately reflect the timing and economics of the transaction. The standard for fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. T he hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hier archy are described below. Basis of Fair Value Measurement: Level 1- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2- Quoted prices in markets that are not a ctive, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3- Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobserv able (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Changes to interest rates may result in cha nges in the cash flows due to prepayments or extinguishments. Accordingly, this could result in higher or lower measurements of the fair values. Assets and Liabilities Mortgage loans held for sale Mortgage loans held for sale are valued based on quotations from the secondary market for similar instruments and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments available-for-sale U.S. government agencies and mortgage-back ed securities Valuations are based on active market data and use of evaluated broker pricing models that vary based by asset class and includes available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, descriptive terms and conditions databases coupled with extensive quality control programs. Multiple quality control evaluation processes review available market, credit and deal level information to support the evaluation of the security. If th ere is a lack of objectively verifiable information available to support the valuation, the evaluation of the security is discontinued. Additionally, proprietary models and pricing systems, mathematical tools, actual transacted prices, integration of mark et developments and experienced evaluators are used to determine the value of a security based on a hierarchy of market information regarding a security or securities with similar characteristics. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for such secu rities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. State and municipal securities Proprietary valuation matrices are used for valuing all tax-exempt municipals that can incorporate changes in the municipal marke t as they occur. Market evaluation models include the ability to value bank qualified municipals and general market municipals that can be broken down further according to insurer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spr eads and municipal curves. Taxable municipals are valued using a third party model that incorporates a methodology that captures the trading nuances associated with these bonds. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value h ierarchy. Interest rate swap agreements Interest rate swap agreements are measured by alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency in markets that are not active. Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of the more mature Level 1 markets. These markets do however have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets in order t o arrive at a fair market value. These characteristics classify interest rate swap agreements as Level 2. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated that were accounted for or disclosed at fair value. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: June 30, 2018 Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable Identical Assets Observable Inputs Inputs (In thousands) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Assets Residential mortgage loans held for sale $ - $ 40,000 $ - $ 40,000 Investments available-for-sale: U.S. government agencies - 206,448 - 206,448 State and municipal - 322,506 - 322,506 Mortgage-backed - 403,762 - 403,762 Corporate debt - - 9,238 9,238 Trust preferred - - 310 310 Marketable equity securities - 568 - 568 Interest rate swap agreements - 498 - 498 Liabilities Interest rate swap agreements $ - $ (498) $ - $ (498) December 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable Identical Assets Observable Inputs Inputs (In thousands) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Assets Residential mortgage loans held for sale $ - $ 9,848 $ - $ 9,848 Investments available-for-sale: U.S. government agencies - 106,568 - 106,568 State and municipal - 312,253 - 312,253 Mortgage-backed - 300,040 - 300,040 Corporate debt - - 9,432 9,432 Trust preferred - - 1,002 1,002 Marketable equity securities - 212 - 212 Interest rate swap agreements - 707 - 707 Liabilities Interest rate swap agreements $ - $ (707) $ - $ (707) The following table provides unrealized losses included in assets measured in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Condition at fair value on a recurring basis for the period indicated: Significant Unobservable Inputs (In thousands) (Level 3) Investments available-for-sale: Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 10,434 Additions of Level 3 assets 310 Principal sales (1,002) Total unrealized losses included in other comprehensive loss (194) Balance at June 30, 2018 $ 9,548 Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a nonrecurring basis at the date indicated that are valued at the lower of cost or market. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: June 30, 2018 Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets Other Significant for Identical Observable Unobservable (In thousands) Assets (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Inputs (Level 3) Total Total Losses Impaired loans $ - $ - $ 7,100 $ 7,100 $ (11,970) Other real estate owned - - 2,361 2,361 (54) Total $ - $ - $ 9,461 $ 9,461 $ (12,024) December 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets Other Significant for Identical Observable Unobservable (In thousands) Assets (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Inputs (Level 3) Total Total Losses Impaired loans $ - $ - $ 8,474 $ 8,474 $ (11,806) Other real estate owned - - 2,253 2,253 (158) Total $ - $ - $ 10,727 $ 10,727 $ (11,964) At June 30, 2018 , impaired loans totaling $18.9 million were written down to fair value of $14.4 million as a result of spe cific loan loss allowances of $4 . 5 million associated with the impaired loans which was included in the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans totaling $20.8 million were wri tten down to fair value of $16.8 million at December 31, 2017 as a result of speci fic loan loss allowances of $4.0 million associated with the impaired loans. Loan impairment is measured using the present value of expected cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral (less selling costs) if the loans are collateral dependent. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or acc ounts receivable. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on net book value on the business’ financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management’s review and analysis. Appraised and reporte d values may be discounted based on management’s historical experience , changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on a t least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the factors identified above. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods. Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for other real estate owned included in Level 3 is determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less cost to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subseque nt to initial recognition, the Company records the OREO as a non-recurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company discloses fair value information of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value in the financial statements based on the exit price notion. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists. Quoted market prices, where available, are shown as estimates of fair market values. Because no quoted market prices are available for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, the fair value of such instruments has been derived based on the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates based on observable inputs (“Level 2 ”) or unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). Present value techniques used in estimating the fair value of many of the Company's financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate cash settlement of the instrument. Additionally, the accompanying estimates of fair values are only representative of the fair values of the individu al financial assets and liabilities, and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company. Management utilizes internal models used in asset liability management to determine the fair values disclosed below. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at the dates indicated are presented in the following table: Fair Value Measurements June 30, 2018 Quoted Prices in Estimated Active Markets for Significant Other Significant Carrying Fair Identical Assets Observable Inputs Unobservable Inputs (In thousands) Amount Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Financial Assets Other equity securities $ 74,442 $ 74,442 $ - $ 74,442 $ - Loans, net of allowance 6,201,580 6,060,778 - - 6,060,778 Other assets 109,498 109,498 - 109,498 - Financial Liabilities Time deposits $ 1,245,189 $ 1,256,431 $ - $ 1,256,431 $ - Securities sold under retail repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased 139,647 139,647 - 139,647 - Advances from FHLB 1,063,777 1,063,894 - 1,063,894 - Subordinated debentures 37,495 31,724 - - 31,724 Fair Value Measurements December 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Estimated Active Markets for Significant Other Significant Carrying Fair Identical Assets Observable Inputs Unobservable Inputs (In thousands) Amount Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Financial Assets Other equity securities $ 45,518 $ 45,518 $ - $ 45,518 $ - Loans, net of allowance 4,268,991 4,320,719 - - 4,320,719 Other assets 95,730 95,730 - 95,730 - Financial Liabilities Time deposits $ 688,951 $ 684,139 $ - $ 684,139 $ - Securities sold under retail repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased 119,359 119,359 - 119,359 - Advances from FHLB 765,833 769,860 - 769,860 - Subordinated debentures - - - - -

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations Sandy Spring Bancorp (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, is the bank holding company for Sandy Spring Bank (the “Bank”). Independent and community-oriented, Sandy Spring Bank offers a broad range of commercial banking, retail banking, mortgage and trust services throughout central Maryland, Northern Virginia, and the g reater Washington, D.C. market. Through its subsidiaries, Sandy Spring Insurance Corporation and West Financial Services, Inc., Sandy Spring Bank also offers a comprehensive menu of insurance and wealth management services.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accou nting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the financial services industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Reg ulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is pre sented to assist the reader in understanding the financial and other data presented in this report. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods or for the year ending December 31, 2018 . In the opinion of management, all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been incl uded. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, as necessary, to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the issuance of its financial statements. These statement s should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2018 . There have been no sign ificant changes to the Company’s accounting p olicies as disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned su bsidiary, Sandy Spring Bank and its subsidiaries, Sandy Spring Insurance Corporation and West Financial Services, Inc. Consolidation has resulted in the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and affect the reported a mounts of revenues earned and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that could change significantly relate to the provision for loan losses and the related allowance, determination of imp aired loans and the related measurement of impairment, potential impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, valuation of investment securities and the determination of whether impaired securities are other-than-temporarily impaired, valuation of ot her real estate owned, prepayment rates, valuation of share-based compensation, the assessment that a liability should be recognized with respect to any matters under litigation, the calculation of current and deferred income taxes and the actuarial projec tions related to pension expense and the related liability.
Cash Flows	Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with banks (items with stated original maturity of three months or less).
Revenue from Contract with Customers [Policy Text Block]	Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company’s revenue includes net interest income on financial instruments and non-interest income. Specific categories of revenue are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Most of the Company’s revenue is not within the scope of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For revenue within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company provides services to customers and has related performance obligations. The revenue from such services is recognized upon satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations. The following discusses key revenue streams within the scope of the new revenue recognition guidance. Wealth M anagement Income West Financial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, provides comprehensive investment management and financial planning services. Wealth management income is comprised of income for providing trust, estate and investment management se rvices. Trust services include acting as a trustee for corporate or personal trusts. Investment management services include investment management, record-keeping and reporting of security portfolios. Fees for these services are recognized based on a contra ctually-agreed fixed percentage applied to net assets under management at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not charge/recognize any performance based fees. Insurance Agency Commissions Sandy Spring Insurance, a subsidiary of the Bank, pe rforms the function of an insurance intermediary by introducing the policyholder and insurer and is compensated by a commission fee for placement of an insurance policy. Sandy Spring Insurance does not provide any captive management services or any claim h andling services. Commission fees are set as a percentage of the premium for the insurance policy for which the Sandy Spring Insurance is a producer. The Company recognizes revenue when the insurance policy has been contractually agreed to by the insurer a nd policyholder (at transaction date). Service Charges on Deposit Accounts Service charges on deposit accounts are earned on depository accounts for consumer and commercial account holders and include fees for account and overdraft services. Account servi ces include fees for event-driven services and periodic account maintenance activities. The obligation for event-driven services is satisfied at the time of the event when service is delivered and revenue recognized as earned. Obligation for maintenance ac tivities is satisfied over the course of each month and revenue recognized at month end. Obligation for overdraft services is satisfied at the time of the overdraft and revenue recognized as earned.
Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality [Policy Text Block]	Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality Acquired loans with evidence of credit deterioration since their origination as of the date of the acquisition are recorded at their initial fair value. Credit deterioration is determined based on the probability of collection of all contractually required princi pal and interest payments. The historical allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is not carried over to the Company’s financial statements. The determination of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include parameters such as past due and non-accrual status, commercial risk ratings, cash flow projections, type of loan and collateral, collateral value and recent loan-to-value ratios or appraised values. For loans acquired with evidence of credit deterioration, the Compa ny determines at the acquisition date the excess of the loan’s contractually required payments over all cash flows expected to be collected as an amount that should not be accreted into interest income (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount, repr esenting the difference in the expected cash flows of acquired loans and the initial investment in the acquired loans, is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool of loans (accretable yield). Subsequent to the purchase date , increases in expected cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized prospectively as interest income over the remaining life of the loan as an adjustment to the accretable yield. The present value of any decreases in expected cash f lows after the purchase date is recognized as an impairment through addition to the valuation allowance.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements	Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , in May 2014 that provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The guidance also provides for a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods pr esented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest income and non-interest income. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, net interest income, mortgage origination and servicing activities, and gains and losses from s ecurities. Accordingly, the majority of the Company’s revenues have not been affected. The following revenue streams were identified to be in scope of ASC 606: 1) wealth management income; 2) insurance agency commissions; and 3) service charges on deposit accounts. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The Company’s accounting policies and revenue recognition principles did not change materially as the principles of ASC 606 are largely consistent with the current revenue recognition practices . The FASB issued Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , in February 2018. The guidance permits entities to reclassify from a ccumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to retained earnings stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. The Company made the election to adopt this guidance during the first quarter of 2018 and recl assified $1.5 million of stranded income tax effects from OCI to retained earnings. The Company made the adjustment between OCI and retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as of the beginning of the cur rent reporting period. The FASB issued Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities” , in January 2016. This guidance amends the presentation and accounting for certain fina ncial instruments, including liabilities measured at fair value under fair value option and equity investments. The guidance also updates fair value presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter 2018 with no impact to retained earnings or other comprehensive income. The Company has no investments in marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale accounted for at fair value. The Company’s mar ketable equity securities that do not have determinable fair values are measured at cost less any impairment. The Company’s existing accounting policy is consistent with the measurement alternative provided by the guidance . For purposes of disclosing fair values of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, we determined the fair values based on “exit price” as required by the guidan ce. Pending Accounting Pronouncements The FASB issued Update No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities , in March 2017. This guidance is intended to eliminate the current diversity in practice with respect to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Under current GAAP, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life. As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings. The amendments in this update shorten the amortization p eriod for such callable debt securities held at a premium requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This guidance is effective for a public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer for its fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The FASB issued Upda te No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , in January 2017. The objective of this guidance is to simplify an entity’s required test for impairment of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goo dwill impairment test. In Step 2 an entity measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill, an entity had to d etermine the fair value at the impairment date of its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized assets and liabilities, following a procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a busi ness combination. Under this Update, an entity should perform its annual or quarterly goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and record an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit and the entity must consider the income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the rep orting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. This guidance is effective for a public business entity that is an SEC filer for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The FASB issued Update No. 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) , in June 2016. This guidance change s the impairment model for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments. Entities will be required to use an expected loss model, replacing the incurred loss model that is currently in use. Under the new guidance, an entit y will measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current condition and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This will result in earlier recognition of loss allowances in most i nstances. Credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities (regardless of whether the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary) will be measured in a manner similar to the present, except that such losses will be recorded as allowance s rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the related securities. With respect to trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the guidance requires that an entity estimate its lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance resulting in the net amount expected to be collected to be reflected as the financial asset. Entities are also required to provide significantly more disclosures, including infor mation used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. This guidance is effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard’s provisions will be a pplied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption by public business entities is permitted for the first interim or annual period beginning aft er December 15, 2018. The Company assessed the guidance and has identified the available historical loan level information and completed a data gap analysis. The Company is in process of reviewing various calculation methodologies and the approximate impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The FASB issued Update No. 2016-02 , Leases , in February 2016. From the les see’s perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either financ e or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees. The guidance also eliminates the current real estate-specific provision and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial d irect costs and lease executory costs. With respect to lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related r evenue and expense. In applying this guidance entities will also need to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease or service agreement. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financials statement s to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public entities, this guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company assess ed t his guidance and collected relevant terms for each of its lease agreements. The Company is in process of quantifying the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
