Debt issuance costs, capitalized under ASU 2015-03.

Capitalization

DIC nets against the note, not booked as an asset.

Under ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs present as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability - a contra-liability, not a separate deferred asset. Quoining records origination, underwriting, and legal fees against the note when the debt is drawn.

• ASU 2015-03 contra-liability presentation.
• Fees captured at draw, tied to the note.
• Carrying value nets DIC automatically.

Amortization

Effective-interest or straight-line into interest expense.

DIC amortizes over the life of the debt and lands in interest expense alongside coupon interest. Choose effective-interest for a constant yield or straight-line for simplicity; Quoining posts the monthly entry through SmartGL.

• Effective-interest and straight-line methods.
• Amortization posts to interest expense.
• Auto-posted monthly via SmartGL.

Extinguishment

Early payoff writes off the remaining DIC.

When debt is retired early, the unamortized debt issuance costs are expensed in full and the note balance clears. Any gain or loss on extinguishment posts to the GL account you configure.

Why Quoining

Issuance costs amortized correctly, automatically.

Debt issuance costs are exactly the kind of niche schedule that gets booked once and forgotten. Quoining amortizes them against the loan term with effective-interest treatment and posts the entries.

• Capitalized costs netted against the liability per ASC 835-30.
• Effective-interest amortization without a side model.
• Early payoff handled with the write-off entry drafted for you.
