Asset Collateral Legal Guidelines

Summary

In Indonesia, using another partys assets as collateral requires a formal agreement, consent from the asset owner, and possible registration with authorities. Internationally, recognition depends on jurisdiction and treaties. Consent must be voluntary, informed, and free from coercion. Collateral cannot be recorded as company equity; it should be disclosed in financial statements under liabilities. Valuation methods include market appraisal, comparable sales, depreciation, and financial statement review.
