ISDA response to the FASB exposure draft on contingent put and call options in debt instruments

On October 5, ISDA’s Accounting Committee responded to a consultation issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) seeking views from all stakeholders on contingent put and call options in debt instruments Topic 815.

We believe the clarifications to Topic 815 provided in the exposure draft will alleviate concerns about the treatment of these contingent options and reduce existing diversity in practice.
