Student Loans Book Value

Student loans are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment loss.

Fair value is the amount for which the loans could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arms length transaction. Fair value on initial recognition of student loans, is determined by projecting forward the repayments required under the scheme, to a willing buyer and discounting them back at an appropriate discount rate.

As student loans are subsequently measured at amortised cost, the model projects all future cash flows to the Crown associated with the loan and the effective interest rate is calculated at initial recognition. This rate is used to spread the Crown’s interest income across the life of the loan and determines the loan’s book value at each reporting date. If the timing of future receipts is revised, the book amount at reporting date is adjusted to reflect the revised estimated cash flows at the loans’ original effective interest rate. The adjustment is recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Financial Performance.
