WRITERS NOTE: NEEDS REVIEW how differs from IFRS?

In the Book ECL Collective Level panel, you can manually enter collective/group-level, Expected Credit Loss (ECL) transactions for securities with a processing security type of Expected Credit Loss Group (ECLGRP) for US GAAP portfolios where the regulatory category and investments are classified as Held To Maturity (HTM).

You can:

  • Book ECL against at a collective/group level for a group of domestic or foreign assets to capture all /denominated investments. The collective/group-level accountingECL for foreign denominated investments is established by local currency.

  • Book ECL against foreign assets where the accounting system properly differentiates between write-up and write-down increases and decreases, and accounts for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate.

Group
  • Increases for foreign denominated collective/group-level ECL allowances are calculated for base amounts by applying the current FX rate. For decreases for foreign denominated collective/group-level ECL allowances, the base amount is reduced by the proportional decrease in the local ECL allowance

Collective/group-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 Accounting can differentiate between a writeup ( increasing expected credit loseses lossses 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. For more information, see Collective/Group-Level Expected Credit Loss ECL Examples for US GAAP.

    • Stage 2. Deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition (unless low credit risk at reporting date) and not having objective evidence of impairment.
