Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 635: Creditor relationships: embedded derivatives which are options
1741.This section requires a life assurance company to treat a creditor relationship as mentioned in section 585(1) despite the fact that it accounts for that relationship at fair value through profit and loss. It is based on paragraph 45D(3A) of Schedule 26 to FA 2002.
1742.Under generally accepted accounting practice, a company that accounts for a creditor relationship at fair value through profit and loss would not divide the relationship between embedded derivatives and the remaining rights that are a loan relationship. This section overrules that accounting rule for the purposes of both this Part and Part 5 (loan relationships).
