Nature of receivables

another company.
Types of receivables
Trade receivables arise from the sale of merchandise or service in the ordinary course of business. This
may be evidenced by a promise to pay called Notes Receivable, or not evidenced by a promise to pay,
Accounts Receivable
Non-trade receivable are claims arising from sources other than from sale of goods and services in the
normal course of business.
Initial valuation
Accounts receivable is initially recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provision of the
instrument and are initially valued at the transaction price, which is the amount an entity expects to be entitled
in exchange for the transfer of goods and services.
Non-trade receivables expected to be collected within 12 months from reporting date are classified as current;
while those expected to be collected beyond are classified as non-current.
Lifetime ECL is the ECL that results from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL and represents the lifetime ECL resulting from a default occurring
in the 12 months after the reporting date weighted by the probability of that default occurring.
