flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual

conditions are met including

eventual recipients unless it collects equivalent
amounts from the original asset.
b. The entity is prohibited by the terms of the
transfer contract from selling or pledging the

d. Neither a nor b.

6. Examples of when an entity has retained substantially

b. A sale of a financial asset together with a total
return swap that transfers the market risk
exposure back to the entity.
c. A sale of short-term receivables in which the entity
guarantees to compensate the transferee for credit
losses that are likely to occur.
