Issue #12: Financial Assets Secured by Collateral Maintenance Provisions: The guidance in paragraph 326-20- 35-6 for financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions provides a practical expedient to measure the estimate of expected credit losses by comparing the amortized cost basis of a financial asset and the fair value of collateral securing the financial asset as of the reporting date. Stakeholders questioned whether an entity is required to evaluate whether a borrower has the ability to continually replenish collateral securing the financial asset to apply the practical expedient. Additionally, stakeholders questioned how an entity should determine its estimate of expected credit losses if the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset is less than its amortized cost basis. |

Negative Allowance for Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration- Stakeholders questioned whether negative allowances were permitted on PCD assets. The phrase negative allowance is used to describe situations for which an entity recognized a full, or partial, writeoff of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset and subsequently determines that the amount written off, or a portion of that amount, will be recovered. Said differently, an entity may determine that it will recover the amortized cost basis, or a portion of that basis, after a writeoff and that “basis recovery” is included in the allowance for credit losses through a negative allowance. Those situations often are a result of an entity applying regulatory charge-off policies that are generally based on delinquency status. |
Proposed Codification Changes made by the FASB. Comment period ends July 29, 2019.
The proposed amendments would clarify that an entity should include expected recoveries of the amortized cost basis previously written off or expected to be written off in the valuation account for PCD assets. The proposed amendments also would clarify that recoveries or expected recoveries of the unamortized noncredit discount or premium should not be included in the allowance for credit losses. |
| 40 |
Transition Relief for Troubled Debt Restructurings- At the June 2017 Credit Losses Transition Resource Group (TRG) meeting, stakeholders noted the operational complexities of calculating a prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) that exist as of the adoption date by using the prepayment assumptions in effect
immediately before the restructuring. They requested transition relief when adjusting the effective interest rate for
those arrangements. |
Proposed Codification Changes made by the FASB. Comment period ends July 29, 2019.
The proposed amendments would provide transition relief by permitting entities to adjust the effective interest rate on existing TDRs using prepayment assumptions on the date of adoption of Topic 326 rather than the prepayment assumptions in effect immediately before the restructuring. |
| 41 |
Disclosures Related to Accrued Interest Receivables- Stakeholders noted that an entity would still be required to include accrued interest in other disclosure requirements of its amortized cost basis for financial assets under other Topics. Stakeholders requested that the disclosure relief for accrued interest receivable balances be extended to all relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. |
Proposed Codification Changes made by the FASB. Comment period ends July 29, 2019.
The proposed amendments would extend the disclosure relief for accrued interest receivable balances to additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. |
| 42 |
Conforming Amendment to Subtopic 805-20- Stakeholders noted that paragraph 805-20-50-1 references Subtopic
310-30, Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, which was superseded by the amendments in Update 2016-13. |
Proposed Codification Changes made by the FASB. Comment period ends July 29, 2019.
The proposed amendment would clarify the guidance by removing the cross-reference to Subtopic 310-30 in paragraph 805-20-50-1 and replacing it with a cross-reference to the guidance on PCD assets in Subtopic 326-20. |
| 43 |
Targeted Transition Relief for Fair Value Option- The amendments in this proposed Update would provide entities with the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for eligible instruments that are within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, except for held-to-maturity debt securities, upon adopting Topic 326. The proposed amendments would not change any of the principles described in the amendments in Update 2016-13 or Subtopic 825-10. The amendments for targeted transition relief in this proposed Update would provide entities with an additional election date upon adoption of Topic 326 to elect the fair value option in accordance with Subtopic 825-10. |
Proposed Codification Changes made by the FASB. Comment period ended March 8, 2019. |
