FASB Codification Assignment 1 – Receivables You are spending your summer working for a local wholesale furniture company, Beds and Beyond, Inc. The company is considering a proposal from a local financial institution, Old Faithful Financial, to factor Bed and Beyond’s receivables.

(ASC 860-10-10-1) 5. Using the FASB Codification, determine what conditions must be met for a transfer of receivables to be accounted for as a sale. Provide the specific paragraph citation that Beds and Beyond would rely on in applying that accounting treatment. Conditions that must be met for a transfer of receivables to be accounted for a sale are as follows: a.

By securitizing the receivables, a larger organization can convert its accounts receivable into cash at once. Hence, individual receivables are combined into a new security and are then sold as an investment instrument. Since securities are backed by a liquid form of collateral, a securitization can result in an extremely low interest rate for the issuing entity. Criterions in ASC 860 states that, transfers in securitization transactions must be evaluated for sale accounting treatment. In addition, they must be evaluated for consolidation by the GAAP criteria, set fourth at ASC 810. Moreover, Securitizations are popular because investors want to acquire collateralized securities and firms with large amounts of receivables have incentives to

FASB ASC 860-10-40 on the subject of conditions for a sale of financial assets states that a financial asset should be considered sold if it is transferred and control is surrendered. Control is deemed to be
