Loan loss accounting basics
To illustrate the accounting for bad loans, consider a bank with €5000 in loans on the balance sheet and €100 in the loan loss reserve account as of the end of 2011. Net loans are therefore €4900:
On 25 May 2012, a loan in the amount of 5 is judged to be uncollectible and is written off. The bank records the following journal entry:
Loan loss reserve 5
Loans 5
The net loans remain at 4900. Note that the accounting for writing off loans largely parallels that of receivables. When receivables are written off, both the contra-asset and the receivables account are reduced, and net receivables are unchanged.
On 10 August 2012, a loan in the amount of 20 is deemed uncollectible and is written off. The journal entry will be similar to the one above:
Loan loss reserve 20
Loans 20
The net loan value on the books is still 4900 (4975 − 75).
At the end of 2012, bank management estimates that the loan loss reserve should be 120. The contra-asset account must therefore be increased by 45 (120 − 75). The bank records the following entry:
Loan loss provision 45
Loan loss reserve 45
Net loans are now 4855 (4975 − 120), a decrease of 45 from the beginning of 2012. The decrease results from the write-offs of (5 + 20), plus the net increase in the reserve (120 − 100, or 20).
