Waiver

A waiver is the formal relinquishment of a right, claim, or contractual provision, often related to loan covenants or penalties. In accounting, when a lender grants a waiver for breached terms, liabilities may remain classified as non-current instead of current. Proper disclosure is essential to reflect financial position accurately.
