Our publication discusses the FASB’s final guidance expanding the use of the gross up-approach in ASC 326, Credit Losses, to “purchased seasoned loans,” which the guidance defines as loans, excluding purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, credit card receivables, debt securities, and trade receivables, that are (1) acquired in a business combination or (2) obtained through a transfer that is not a business combination or initially recognized through the consolidation of a variable interest entity, if certain seasoning criteria are met. This approach was previously only applied to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
