Guidance
|
At re-recognition date (no contemporaneous re-acquisition of underlying financial asset) |
|
How should a re-recognized financial asset and the corresponding liability be measured?
|
Upon re-recognition, the financial asset should be measured at fair value, along with a corresponding liability. No gain or loss should be recognized.
|
Upon re-recognition, should a loan-loss allowance be recognized for loans that do not meet the definition of a security?
|
Yes. An allowance for credit losses should be recognized based on the requirements of ASC 326.
|
What impact does re-recognition of a transferred financial asset have on a transferor’s accounting for any beneficial interests in the re-recognized asset?
|
There is no change in the transferor’s separate accounting for its beneficial interests, including measurement of income and periodic assessments for impairment.
|
How does re-recognition impact the accounting for any servicing asset or liability related to the re-recognized financial assets?
|
There is no change in the accounting for the servicing asset or liability. Any such amounts should continue to be reported and remeasured separately.
|
Re-acquisition of the underlying financial asset (subsequent to asset’s re-recognition) |
|
When a ROAP or contingent call is exercised, should a gain or loss be recognized upon the reacquisition of the transferred financial assets?
|
Yes, assuming the fair value of the repurchased asset differs from the consideration paid to settle the related obligation to the transferee. If the ROAP or contingent call is accounted for at fair value or is otherwise at-the-money, a gain or loss may not arise.
|
What impact does re-acquisition of a transferred financial asset have on a transferor’s accounting for any beneficial interests in the re-recognized asset?
|
It depends. If the beneficial interest consists entirely of an interest in the re-acquired financial asset, it should be re-combined with it. On the other hand, if the beneficial interest entitles the transferor to cash flows from assets that the transferee continues to hold, the beneficial interest should not be extinguished (recombined); rather, in that instance, the transferor should evaluate the impact that re-acquisition may have on the carrying amount of the beneficial interest and its estimated future cash flows.
|
How does re-reacquisition impact the accounting for any servicing asset or liability related to the re-acquired financial assets?
|
It depends. If re-acquisition results in cancellation of the servicing contract, the servicing asset or liability should be written off. On the other hand, if the servicing contract remains in effect, the transferor should continue to report and re-measure separately any servicing asset or liability. The impact that re-acquisition may have on estimated future servicing cash flows should also be evaluated when re-measuring the servicing asset or liability.
