   ASC 310-944 tells insurance entities how to account for receivables: mortgage loans held as investments, reinsurance recoverables, and premium receivables on financial guarantee insurance contracts. Mortgage loans are recognized as assets at principal (or cost if bought at a discount/premium) and carried at amortized cost with an allowance for expected credit losses under Topic 326-20; reinsurance recoverables must be reported gross as assets (no netting against related liabilities absent a legal right of setoff). For financial guarantee contracts with installment premiums, the premium receivable is measured at the present value of premiums expected to be collected using a risk-free rate at inception, with the discount accreted to earnings.
