This module focuses in the accounting for loans and receivables. Loans

2. Explain the initial recognition, initial measurement, subsequent
measurement, financial statement presentation and derecognition of
receivables.
3. Explain the accounting discounts and freight and how will it affect
receivables account.
4. Apply the different methods of accounting for bad debts.
5. Explain and identify the different methods of receivable financing.

Measurements
Financial instruments (including notes and loans receivable) are initially
measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs (IFRS 9).
Long-term notes and loan receivable shall be subsequently measured at
amortized cost using effective interest method.
Initial measurement of loan receivable = Principal minus direct origination
fees received from borrower plus direct origination costs incurred by the
lender.
Accounting for amortization of loan receivable:
Case Difference Amortization
Direct origination fees > Direct Unearned interest Increase interest
