Write-Off Policy<br />
The Credit Union writes off loans and any related allowances for impairment losses when it is determined that the<br />
loans are uncollectible. This determination is usually made after considering information such as changes in<br />
the borrower's financial position, or that proceeds from collateral will not be sufficient to pay back the entire<br />
exposure. Additionally, loans are written off once they are delinquent for 365 days or more based on regulatory<br />
requirements.<br />
ii) Deposits and Investments<br />
The Credit Union limits its exposure to credit risk by investing mainly in liquid assets. These investments are held<br />
only with counterparties that have high credit quality and Government of Jamaica securities. The management<br />
therefore does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.<br />
iii) Exposure to Credit Risk<br />
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risks before collaterals held.<br />
At the date of the statement of financial position, these amounts were:<br />
