Collateral

Collateral refers to assets pledged by a borrower to secure a loan or financial obligation. If the borrower defaults, the lender has the right to seize the asset. Proper accounting for collateral ensures transparency in financial reporting and helps assess the risk and security associated with borrowing arrangements.
