Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States, which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes the accounting estimates are appropriate and reasonably stated. However, due to the inherent uncertainties in making these estimates, actual amounts could differ. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the 2017 fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable for interim periods and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Given the significance of the investment in CGP LLC to the financial position and results of operations of CAC, we have elected to include interim selected financial information of CGP LLC as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report. As CAC is the parent company to CGP LLC, a joint venture accounted for using the HLBV approach to the equity method of accounting, and as the interim selected financial information of CGP LLC is included as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, segment reporting is not required.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method, presentation of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU also clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Entities can early adopt certain provisions of ASU No. 2016-01. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For available-for-sale debt securities, ASU No. 2016-13 aligns the income statement recognition of credit losses with the reporting period in which changes occur by recording credit losses and subsequent reversals through an allowance rather than a write-down. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. Early application will be permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses classification issues related to the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-15 provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public business entities, the ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Per ASU No. 2017-09, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless there is no change to the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.
