Impaired Loans
Tuesday, August 31, 2021 James-Bates-Brannon-Groover Macon Office or Live Virtual STREAM According to the Financial Accounting Standard Board, a loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due (Principal and Interest) according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. It is implicit in these conditions that it must be probable that one or more future events will occur, confirming the fact of the loss. In the current economic environment, bankers find themselves with a portfolio of loans that are considered “Impaired,” and as such, they require special treatment. In managing Impaired Loans, there are two distinct requirements that must be employed as follows: 1. Proper “Accounting” and management of Impaired Loans under ASC 310 (formerly FAS 114) and proper Trouble Debt Restructure Accounting. 2. Employing proven commercial loan collection strategies and techniques to increase the probability of being repaid from sources other than the liquidation of collateral. Learn more and register. |
