In the Book In the Book ECL Asset-Level panel, you can manually apply expected credit losses (ECL) to debt security lots as an adjustment entry. This allows you to apply adjustments of expected credit losses on open lots/holdings. You can book ECL against domestic or foreign assets to capture all asset-level accounting. You can book ECL against foreign assets where the accounting system properly differentiates between write-up and write-down and accounts for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate.

WRITERS NOTE: above 2 last sentences copied from group-level section. Determine whether to use write-up and write-down terminology.

increases and decreases.

To apply an expected credit loss adjustment to a lot when you use US GAAP, the lot must have an accounting basis with the ECL Method set to US Treatment with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM. You can update the expected credit loss amount. If the regulatory category is AFS, you can update the regulatory intent and can apply non-credit losses.

The panel displays lot detail information, such as quantity, trade date, settlement date, current cost, and allows you to specify information specific to expected credit losses. For your initial expected credit loss transaction on the lot, you can select the ECL Transition option if you need the ability to change the Purchased Impaired status.

WRITERS NOTE: are we booking this to a single basis? should we repeat and adapt discussion under Process Group-Level Expected Credit Loss Transactions. Group-Asset-level ECL transactions are basic-specific events. These transactions/events process only on the accounting basis you specify in the panel, even in cases when the entity has more than one accounting basis. After you enter the local expected credit loss amount, the panel uses the current local-to-base exchange rate to calculate the base allowance amount for ECL transactions where the security is foreign denominated. Eagle Eagle Accounting can differentiate between a writeup ( increasing expected credit loseses losses for a dummy asset ) and a writedown ( decreasing expected credit losses for a dummy asset) , and accounts for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate.

WRITERS NOTE: verify that Purchased Impaired applies to both IFRS and US GAAP

Process Transactions with the Book ECL Asset-Level Panel

To book an asset-level ECL lot adjustment transaction to debt security lots when using US GAAP:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Adjustments > Expected Credit Loss Transactions > Book ECL Asset-Level. 
    You see the Book ECL Asset-Level panel.

  2. In the Entity Information section, specify the entity and accounting basis associated with the lot you are adjusting. 
    You see the entity base currency, and the regulatory category and ECL Method for the selected entity/basis grouping. Because you selected an entity with an accounting basis of GAAP, the Regulatory Category is AFS or HTM, and the ECL Method is US Treatment.

  3. In the Security Information by Option section, identify the security associated with the lot you are adjusting.

  4. In the Accounting Information section, identify the lot you are adjusting and date criteria.

  5. If you are entering an initial transaction, you can set ECL Transition to Yes to have the option to the change the Purchased Impaired value for your initial transaction.
    The options available on the panel vary if you are adjusting a lot that uses the Non-US Treatment ECL method for IFRS with regulatory categories of FVOCI/AC or a lot that uses the US Treatment ECL method for US GAAP with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM.

      For more information about each option, see the following table.

    2. Click Submit. 

    The following table describes these options in detail. After you make a lot adjustment, you can view the adjustment activity on the Open Adjustments tab of the Cost object within the Position Viewer tool. Any subsequent ECL transactions to the same ECL position insert an adjustment row in order to update the balance or other information. When you update the current balance or regulatory intent, the system moves the current value to a “previous” field on the adjustment row in order to store the prior value.
