1. 210-942Financial Services—Depository and Lending210 Balance Sheet

   This Subtopic governs how depository and lending institutions offset and combine amounts on the balance sheet. Its core rules: unearned premiums and unpaid claims on credit life and credit accident and health insurance issued to finance customers are deducted from finance receivables in consolidation (or the net amount presented with adequate note disclosure), while unpaid claims on property and level term life insurance—and credit coverage on receivables owned by unrelated entities—must be presented as liabilities. Reciprocal balances with another financial institution are offset only if they will be offset in the process of collection or payment, and restrictions on cash balances must be disclosed.
