1. 860-20Sales of Financial Assets860 Transfers and Servicing

   ASC 860-20 tells a transferor what to record once a transfer of financial assets qualifies as a sale under 860-10-40-5, and what happens if the transferor later regains control. For a sale of entire financial assets, the transferor derecognizes the assets, recognizes at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred (cash, servicing assets/liabilities, beneficial interests, options, forwards, swaps), and books the gain or loss in earnings; for a participating interest, the prior carrying amount is allocated between the interest sold and the interest retained on relative fair values. If a change in law or circumstance causes the transferor to regain control, it rerecognizes the assets and related liabilities at fair value as if it purchased them, with no gain or loss on its beneficial interests.
