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 CECL model.
Of the Company’s fee receivables at December 31, 2023 and 2022, $113,929 and $97,964, respectively, represented financing receivables for our Private Capital Advisory fees.
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, customers and other receivables included $86,412 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The aggregate carrying amount of other fees and customers and other receivables was $561,978 and $425,904 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
