A depository institution must manage the risks associated with debt cancellation agreements and debt suspension agreements in accordance with safe and sound banking principles. Accordingly, a depository institution must establish and maintain effective risk management and control processes over its debt cancellation agreements and debt suspension agreements. Such processes include appropriate recognition and financial reporting of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and appropriate treatment of all expected and unexpected losses associated with the agreements. A depository institution also should assess the adequacy of its internal control and risk mitigation activities in view of the nature and scope of its debt cancellation agreement and debt suspension agreement programs.
