Accounting policies
Fee and commission income is generally recognized on an accruals basis when the service has been provided. Fee and commission income includes one-off amounts charged by the Group for services not related directly to the creation of loans, advances and other receivables, as well as amounts charged by the Group for services performed over a period exceeding 3 months, which are recognized on a straight-line basis. Fee and commission income also includes fees and commissions recognized on a straight-line basis, received on loans and advances granted with an unspecified schedule of future cash flows for which the effective interest rate cannot be determined.
The accounting policies for recognizing commission income on sales of insurance products linked to loans and advances are described in the note “Interest income and expenses”.
