Troubled Debt Restructuring
Most loans funded by financial institutions pay as agreed according to the legal documents supporting these transactions. However, there are situations in which borrowers face financial difficulties thus causing them not to pay their obligations on a timely basis or not at all. Regulators discovered that a well-planned and managed workout arrangement is often in the best interest of the financial institution and the borrower. If a workout arrangement is required in order to keep the borrower paying some portion of their loans, your bank may be facing a Trouble Debt Restructuring (aka “TDR or TDRs”). Trouble Debt Restructurings require special treatment and must be identified, managed and reported separately than other performing loans. In fact, all loans that have undergone a Trouble Debt Restructuring are considered impaired thus requiring an Impairment Analysis in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 310-10-25, Receivables, Subsequent Measurement.
