Creditors can also have off-balance sheet instruments such as commitments, guarantees, and/or standby letters of credit that are subject to credit risk. Unless subject to other guidance (for example, financial guarantees written by insurance companies), credit losses related to these instruments should also be accrued and reported if the conditions of ASC 450-20 are met. An accrual for credit loss on these instruments should be recorded separately from the ALLL. Additionally, see ARM 3560.123 for regulatory guidance in this area.
