Examples of activities and financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk include obligations for loans sold with recourse (with or without a floating-interest-rate provision), fixed-rate and variable-rate loan commitments, financial guarantees, note issuance facilities at floating rates, and letters of credit. An entity (guarantor) may "lend" its creditworthiness to another party (borrower) for a fee, thereby enhancing that other party's ability to borrow funds. The guarantor may provide a general guarantee of repayment of the borrower's obligation or may pledge specific assets that may be claimed by the creditor in the event of the borrower's default. A loan guarantee typically involves two sets of fees: an initial fee due at the consummation of the transaction and a continuing (annual) fee due over the term of the guarantee. A guarantor may be required to disclose and account for a financial guarantee under Topic 460 on guarantees. See Topic 815 on derivatives and hedging for guarantees accounted for as a derivative.
