In certain Receive and Buy In certain Buy and Receive transaction panels, you can manually book a trade for a debt transaction associated with expected credit losses (ECL) when you use US GAAP. 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-downincreases and decreases, and can account for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate.

WRITERS NOTE: verify write-up and write-down terminology

You can define ECL information in the following trade panels for debt securities with expected credit losses:

Each of panels listed includes the Expected Credit Loss Information fields specific to long transactions on debt securities associated with expected credit loss. These fields can apply to a lot that an accounting basis with the ECL Method set to US Treatment with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM. This ECL method applies to GAAP.

Accounting basis/regulatory category combinations that qualify for ECL include accounting bases of IFRS or GAAP, where the ECL Method is set to Non-US Treatment with regulatory categories of FVOCI/AC for IFRS, or where the ECL Method is set to US Treatment with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM for GAAP. Note that while any expected credit losses entered on a trade panel are not basis specific, the system only applies credit losses to the accounting basis/regulatory category combinations that qualify for ECL. 

The following figure shows the Open Debt Bond panel’s Expected Credit Loss Information fields.
