Book Asset-Level ECL to Debt Security Lots

In the Book 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.

To apply an expected credit loss adjustment to a lot, the lot must have an accounting basis with the ECL Method set to:

Non-US Treatment with regulatory categories of FVOCI/AC. This ECL method applies to IFRS. You can update the expected credit loss amount or the stage.
US Treatment with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM. This ECL method applies to GAAP. 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-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 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.

Process Transactions with the Book Asset-Level Panel

To book an asset-level ECL lot adjustment transaction to debt security lots:

In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Adjustments > Expected Credit Loss Transactions > Book Asset-Level.
You see the Book Asset-Level panel.
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.
In the Security Information by Option section, identify the security associated with the lot you are adjusting.
In the Accounting Information section, identify the lot you are adjusting and date criteria.
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 Non-US Treatment with regulatory categories of FVOCI/AC or a lot that uses US Treatment with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM.
If you adjust a lot using Non-US Treatment ECL Method (IFRS) with a regulatory category of FVOCI/AC, you can update the ECL Stage field value.
You can view the Prior ECL Stage value.
If you adjust a lot using US Treatment ECL Method (GAAP) with a regulatory category of AFS:
- You can update the Regulatory Intent Information field to Intent to Sell, Likely required to Sell, or Not Likely Required to Sell.
- If you select Not Likely Required to Sell, you can update the Non-Credit Loss Local field value. This allows you to book non-credit loss adjustments for AFS securities that have a regulatory intent of Not LIkely Required to Sell.
Under Expected Credit Loss Information, in the Local Loss Allowance box, specify the expected credit loss allowance.
In the Expected Credit Loss Activity section, you can review previous expected credit loss allowance information.
Complete the remaining options on the Book Asset-Level panel, as needed.
For more information about each option, see the following table.
Click Submit.

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, regulatory intent, or stage, the system moves the current value to a “previous” field on the adjustment row in order to store the prior value.
