Impairment of Financial Assets

JJames85004y ago
Hi, I have some queries re the above topic: 1. Are 12 month ECL recorded against the carrying amount of the asset on initial recognition? 2. For assets held at FVOCI - how are credit losses recorded? I presume they do not impact the carrying amount? Thanks

1. Set up a separate allowance account and net it off the asset account in the financial statements. 2. Just one account - the asset. The FV will take into account the credit losses. If the fall in FV is because of credit losses, the Dr is P&L not OCI. One question per post please. :)
