From the supplier: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, 'Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,' requires accountants to account for impaired loans. SFAS No. 114 was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in May 1993 in response to the proliferation of ambiguous literature on impaired loan management and the unpopularity of discounting in the valuation of troubled loans. It applies to all creditors and loans except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans evaluated collectivlely, leases, debt securities and loans of fair value or at the lower cost of fair value.
