RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The Company’s receivables represent fee receivables, amounts due from customers and other receivables. Where applicable, receivables are stated net of an estimated allowance for credit losses determined in accordance with the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model, for general credit risk of the overall portfolio and for specific accounts deemed uncollectible, which may include situations where a fee is in dispute.
Of the Company’s fee receivables at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $115,379 and $97,964, respectively, represented financing receivables for our Private Capital Advisory fees.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, customers and other receivables included $89,753 and $128,890, respectively, of customer loans, which are fully collateralized and monitored for counterparty creditworthiness, with such collateral having a fair value in excess of the carrying amount of the loans as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The aggregate carrying amount of other fees and customers and other receivables was $427,001 and $425,904 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
