(CCE).


For financial reporting purposes, cash equivalents are:
For example, we may be a corporate supplier in a commercial contract.
*Short-term, highly liquid investments that are
*Readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
*Which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.


As part of the contractual arrangements, our bank may issue a performance bond to our customer.


Examples of cash equivalents for financial reporting purposes include money market instruments, treasury bills, short-term government bonds, marketable securities and commercial paper.
This gives rise to a contingent liability for our bank.


The bank will require a counter-indemnity from ourselves, in favour of the bank.


Cash and cash equivalents are normally reported as a single aggregated figure in the primary statement of financial position (balance sheet).
If the performance bond is called, we must indemnify the bank under the counter-indemnity.

A counter-indemnity is an obligation to make a reimbursement in relation to a primary indemnity, guarantee, bond or any similar arrangment.


For example, we may be a corporate supplier in a commercial contract.

As part of the contractual arrangements, our bank may issue a performance bond to our customer.

This gives rise to a contingent liability for our bank.

The bank will require a counter-indemnity from ourselves, in favour of the bank.

If the performance bond is called, we must indemnify the bank under the counter-indemnity.


A counter-indemnity is sometimes also known more simply as an 'indemnity'.
