A financial guarantee provided by a parent company for a subsidiary’s loan is initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, it is assessed at the higher of the determined loss allowance or the initially recognized amount, adjusted for any cumulative income recognized, if applicable.
If the expected credit losses surpass the recognized loss allowance and the initial amount (less any cumulative income), an impairment loss must be recorded.
In this story, we have discussed the account treatment accounting treatment for a financial guarantee given by a parent company to support a subsidiary’s loan, which helped secure a lower interest rate. It offers insights into the complexities of such guarantees in group companies and their impact on financial reporting and it also covers key aspects like determining the fair value of the guarantee, recognizing expected credit losses, and accounting for income and impairment throughout the guarantee’s term.
