210 Balance Sheet

Source downloaded: .Record version b8638737afae. Effective date must be checked in the source.

ASC 210-940 addresses how brokers and dealers offset and combine amounts presented in the balance sheet. It contains no independent offsetting rules; it simply directs preparers to the general offsetting guidance in Section 210-20-45 and adopts the scope of the Financial Services—Brokers and Dealers Overall Subtopic (940-10-15).

Key points (4)
  • The Subtopic's stated purpose is guidance on the offsetting and combining of amounts in the balance sheet of brokers and dealers (210-940-05-1).
  • Its scope is identical to that of the broker-dealer Overall Subtopic, Section 940-10-15 (210-940-15-1).
  • For the actual offsetting criteria, the Subtopic cross-references Section 210-20-45 rather than stating separate broker-dealer rules (210-940-45-1).
  • Because the guidance is a pointer, a broker-dealer must satisfy the general right-of-setoff conditions in 210-20-45 (and any repo/reverse-repo or derivative exceptions there) to present amounts net.

For students. This subtopic is essentially a signpost—students who expect special broker-dealer netting rules here will be disappointed; the substantive conditions for offsetting (including the repurchase agreement and master netting arrangement exceptions) live in 210-20-45.
