Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities [Abstract]  
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
NOTE 6: OFFSETTING FINANCIAL ASSETS
 
AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Bank enters into netting agreements
 
with counterparties (such as clearing houses)
 
to manage the credit risks associated primarily
 
with repurchase and
reverse repurchase transactions, securities
 
borrowing and lending transactions, and
 
OTC and exchange-traded derivatives.
 
These netting agreements and similar
arrangements generally allow the counterparties
 
to set-off liabilities against available assets received.
 
The right to set-off is a legal right to settle or otherwise
eliminate all or a portion of an amount due by
 
applying against that amount an amount receivable
 
from the other party. These agreements effectively reduce the
Bank’s credit exposure by what it would have
 
been if those same counterparties were liable
 
for the gross exposure on the same underlying
 
contracts.
Netting arrangements are typically constituted
 
by a master netting agreement which
 
specifies the general terms of the agreement
 
between the counterparties,
including information on the basis of the netting
 
calculation, types of collateral, and the definition
 
of default and other termination events for
 
transactions executed
under the agreement. The master netting
 
agreements contain the terms and conditions
 
by which all (or as many as possible) relevant
 
transactions between the
counterparties are governed. Multiple individual
 
transactions are subsumed under this general
 
master netting agreement, forming a single legal
 
contract under
which the counterparties conduct their relevant
 
mutual business. In addition to the mitigation
 
of credit risk, placing individual transactions
 
under a single master
netting agreement that provides for netting of
 
transactions in scope also helps to mitigate
 
settlement risks associated with transacting
 
in multiple jurisdictions or
across multiple contracts. These arrangements
 
include clearing agreements, global
 
master repurchase agreements, and global
 
master securities lending
agreements.
In the normal course of business, the Bank
 
enters into contracts to buy and sell goods
 
and services from various suppliers. Some
 
of these contracts may have
netting provisions that allow for the offset of various
 
trade payables and receivables in the event
 
of default of one of the parties. While these
 
are not disclosed in
the following table, the gross amount of all payables
 
and receivables to and from the Bank’s vendors
 
is disclosed in Note 15 in accounts receivable
 
and other
items, and in Note 17 in accounts payable,
 
accrued expenses, and other items.
The Bank also enters into regular way purchases
 
and sales of stocks and bonds. Some of
 
these transactions may have netting provisions
 
that allow for the
offset of broker payables and broker receivables
 
related to these purchases and sales.
 
While these are not disclosed in the following
 
table, the amount of
receivables are presented in amounts receivable
 
from brokers, dealers, and clients, and payables
 
are disclosed in amounts payable to brokers,
 
dealers, and
clients.
The following table provides a summary
 
of the financial assets and liabilities which
 
are subject to enforceable master netting
 
agreements and similar
arrangements, including amounts not otherwise
 
set-off on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as
 
well as financial collateral received to mitigate
 
credit exposures for
these financial assets and liabilities. The gross
 
financial assets and liabilities are reconciled
 
to net amounts and are presented within the
 
associated line on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet, after transactions
 
with the same counterparties have been offset.
 
Related amounts and collateral received that
 
are not offset on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet but are otherwise
 
subject to the same enforceable netting agreements
 
and similar arrangements, are then presented
 
to arrive at a net
amount.
