What is Asset-backed security?

Debt instruments created by transferring cash-generating assets such as loans, leases or trade receivables to a fund or special purpose vehicle and repaid from those assets' cash flows.

Securitisation lets the transferring company turn receivables on its balance sheet into funding. Whether the transfer leads to derecognition depends on the derecognition rules in TFRS 9.
