Based on the limited facts and hypothetical fact pattern described in paragraph [405-50-55-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/50/#405-50-55-2), this Example illustrates how an entity might apply the guidance in paragraph [405-50-50-3(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/50/#405-50-50-3) to disclose the key terms of a supplier finance program, including a description of the payment terms (which includes payment timing and basis for its determination) and the assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary. This Example is not intended to illustrate every aspect of the key terms of a program that should be disclosed by a buyer entity. Identifying the key terms of a supplier finance program is a matter of judgment, based upon the facts of the arrangement. ##### [405-50-55-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/50/#405-50-55-2) Pending content: no Source downloaded (UTC): 2026-09-10T00:15:36.231Z to 2026-09-10T00:15:36.231Z Record version: sha256:8f84c75659e8071cce24c7c901c46fc76d67c39f46de26a6813b086491176fc1 Snapshot version: sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps. Entity A enters into a supplier finance program with Bank B in which Entity A agrees to pay Bank B on the invoice maturity dates the stated amount of invoices that Entity A has confirmed on Bank B’s supplier finance platform. Entity A pays Bank B an annual subscription fee for the supplier finance platform and a service fee for related support. Entity A or Bank B may terminate the agreement upon at least 90 days’ notice. The agreement with Bank B does not require that Entity A provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the supplier finance program. Bank B does not advise Entity A of the maximum size of the program. Bank B also enters into a separate arrangement with Entity A’s suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment from Bank B for invoices confirmed by Entity A. Entity A does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between Bank B and Entity A’s suppliers. Entity A does not participate in the transactions between its suppliers and Bank B. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full within 90 days of the invoice date. ##### [405-50-55-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/50/#405-50-55-3) Pending content: no Source downloaded (UTC): 2026-09-10T00:15:36.231Z to 2026-09-10T00:15:36.231Z Record version: sha256:bfdb1582a77838e26e45fbf3b0fd72c28bc5826c4734994755cdf718a40c1169 Snapshot version: sha256:15aea8165dff9f5ae47d9484f8470588b13b307f56e1d50801bf4d85ec190e3f Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps.
