For trade receivables or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the loss allowance should be measured, at initial recognition and throughout the life of the receivable, at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
As an exception to the general model, if the credit risk of a financial instrument is low at the reporting date, management can measure impairment using 12-month ECL, and so it does not have to assess whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred.
sir i don’t quite what the 2nd paragraph here is referring to in context of Trade receivables?
The second paragraph means exactly what is says. If you are already measuring at 12 month credit losses the allowance can’t really get any bigger.
