Companies may restructure their debt before the debt is due, and the accounting can get complex. Listen as Suzanne Stephani, a director in our National office, joins Heather Horn to explain the various models and key accounting considerations. Topics include:

  • 1:21 - Overview on debt restructuring. Does the guidance need to be applied any time you make a change to your debt? We start by looking at what to think about first. 
  • 6:10 - The accounting models. Suzanne walks through each of three accounting models.
  • 12:52 - The 10% test. If the lender remains the same, the 10% test is important in determining if the restructuring should be accounted for as a debt modification or an extinguishment. Suzanne explains.
  • 13:57 - Common questions and pitfalls. Suzanne explains prepayment options, principal changes and more.
  • 20:55 - The statement of cash flows. We wrap up by discussing how debt restructuring fees should be presented on the statement of cash flows.
