Loan accounting

hi all, a company i know borrowed some money from nbfi based on the AR but not exactly factoring. just as a security. the interest is simple interest. interest and principal is same over a period of 2yrs. The lender wants the company to show the total liability including interest in our books.

Its a challenge as u all know interest we will charge to p&l on monthly basis and principal goes to BS as liability.

Do any of you find a way to show full liability?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the accounting challenge of representing a company's total loan liability, including accrued simple interest, in its financial statements. The core issue is how to book both the principal and the accumulating interest, especially when the lender requires the total liability to be shown. Participants debate whether to accrue interest monthly to the P&L or to accumulate it as a balance sheet liability.

I think, it is same. Just club the interest liability to the loan amount at year end.

When you didn’t pay the interest

Interest expense a/c—> recognised annually

To Accumulated Interest a/c—> accumulated on balance sheet under current liabilities

If interest is paying monthly , then it is to be recognised as an expense and should be shown in profit and loss account , Can not club with loan account .
Interest is an current expense , Loan is future liability .
