How to record credit-adjusted interest on POCI asset
Recognition of interest income on Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired (POCI) assets using the credit-adjusted effective interest rate (EIR).
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| POCI Financial Asset | Asset | 4,500.00 | - |
| Interest Income (POCI) | Revenue | - | 4,500.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
For POCI assets, interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted EIR to the amortized cost (not gross carrying amount) from initial recognition. The credit-adjusted EIR accounts for initial expected credit losses in the cash flow projections.
