G.2.5 Detailed Account Type Values
To determine whether a target output row is a Debit row or a Credit row, for every row, the allocation engine examines the Account Type associated with the row's Financial Element.
Fundamental Account Type | Detailed Account Type |
---|---|
Debit |
Dividends Earning Assets Interest Expense Non-Interest Expense Off-Balance Sheet Payable Other Asset Statistical Taxes Equity |
Credit |
Interest Bearing Liabilities Interest Income Non-Interest Income Off-Balance Sheet Receivable Other Liability |
In some cases, however, the Account Type associated with a row's Financial Element is ambiguous. For example, Financial Element 457 – Non-Interest Expense is a debit account type (its detailed Account Type is Non-Interest Expense). The Account Type of Financial Element 100 – Ending Balance, however, is ambiguous. An Ending Balance could be either an asset or a liability. In such cases, the Account Type associated with a Financial Element is a special value called < Use Detailed Leaves >. What this means is that the engine should fall back upon the Common COA dimension to determine a row's Account Type.
