Bank guarantee is a written agreement for a fix amount to pay third person on your behalf, as and when he asked for that, in accounting we treat it as security.

Bank Guarantee is nothing but a guarantee given by the Bankers. General, this is seen in case of giving securities to a person or in case of Forex trades. What happens actually is when we plan out for such type of trades we need to approach a banker. Banker would take certain amount of charges and commissions before executing in some ones favor. But banker doesn't give us a security for free since it is a risk matter, hence the person demanding a BG has to first give some fixed deposit or mortgage some fixed asset. Regarding accounting, commissions has to be charged off to P & L a/c and the actual BG executed shall not be accounted but the BG Transferred has to be accounted as Contingent Liabilities.
