Loans and investments
The Loans and investments guide discusses the accounting for loans and debt and equity investments, including the recognition of interest, income, and impairment.
This guide was partially updated in November 2020.
Our Loans and investments guide has been updated to include a new chapter on accounting for beneficial interests. We’ve also updated it to include clarifications on the interaction between ASC 321, ASC 323, and ASC 815 and address the recently issued ASU 2020-08 for amortizing premiums on certain callable debt securities. Our guide provides insights on the accounting for loans and investments post adoption of the recognition and measurement standard and the new credit losses standard. This guide also addresses the presentation and disclosure requirements, as well as the effective date and transition for the standards.
