Securitization Accounting: 12th edition coming soon

Securitization Accounting: 11th Edition

We remain strong in our belief that accounting plays a significant role in securitization and will stay embedded in its evolving foundation. Therefore, it is our pleasure to share with you this 11th edition of our Securitization Accounting book. Our mission has always been to provide a roadmap that covers accounting, tax, and various regulatory changes impacting securitization and the overall markets. We feel that we have met this goal once again with this updated publication by adding new topics while continuing to robustly update previously covered events.

Looking ahead

In addition to the updates highlighted above, a brief discussion on the LIBOR and reference rate reform impacting the securitization market is provided in the latest edition. In the United States, the Alternatives Reference Rates Committee has recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as an alternate to LIBOR, while other jurisdictions have identified other rates (for example, the United Kingdom will transition to the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate [SONIA]). There is broad agreement that by December 31, 2021, LIBOR’s days are numbered. We will continue to provide a point of view about these changes, sending out periodic updates and providing links to additional information for further reference when available.
