RECEIVABLES
is termed as a non-interest-bearing note.
Nature       of        receivables
Receivables are financial assets arising
from contractual rights to receive cash or
another financial asset from another                  Initial                            valuation

company.                                              when the entity becomes a party to the
                                                      contractual provision of the instrument
                                                      and are initially valued at the transaction

Types of receivables                                  expects to be entitled in exchange for the
                                                      transfer of goods and services.

A note receivable is evidenced by a                                c. Present value that is higher
written promise to pay. The note                      than the face value, if stated interest rate

nominal interest rate. A note receivable              recognized as a premium on notes
that does not have a nominal interest rate            receivable which is amortized under the
                                                      effective interest method.
Valuation at reporting date
Receivables are valued at amortized cost, which is the face value of the note plus the
unamortized balance of the Premium on Note Receivable or minus the unamortized balance
of the Discount on Notes Receivable less any allowance for estimated credit losses.
Presentation of receivables in the financial statements
Trade receivables are classified as current assets.
Non-trade receivables expected to be collected within 12 months from reporting date are
classified as current; while those expected to be collected beyond are classified as non-
current.
Impairment of Loans and Receivables:
The impairment loss model under IFRS 9 provides for allowance for estimated credit losses
(ECLs) by estimating the probability of default by taking into account macro-economic
factors. ECL is the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses (i.e., the PV of all cash
shortfalls) over the life of a financial instrument.
Lifetime ECL is the ECL that results from all possible default events over the expected life of a
financial instrument.
12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL and represents the lifetime ECL resulting from a
default                                       occurring
in the 12 months after the reporting date weighted by the probability of that default
occurring.
Stages in the Measurement and Recognition of Impairment
Stage 1 – Recognize the impairment loss in P/L thru an allowance account based on a 12-
month ECL after reporting period for receivables that are not credit impaired and with no
significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition
Stage 2 – Recognize in P/L, lifetime ECL for receivables that are not credit impaired but with
significant increase in credit risk. There is a rebuttable presumption that the credit risk has
increased significantly since initial recognition if contractual payments are more than 30
days past due.
Stage 3 – Assess individually the receivables to determine whether they are credit-impaired.

Factoring of Accounts receivable
Computation of Cash Proceeds of Notes Receivable Discounting
1. Compute for the maturity value of the note receivable = Principal + Total Interest Income
2. Compute for the discount = Maturity Value x Discount Rate x Discount Period
3. Compute for the proceeds = Maturity Value – Discount
