International accounting standards suggest that business accounts should record guarantees based on the following conditions:
-
Guarantees are treated as provisions if a call is likely (typically numerous similar guarantees treated as a group)
-
Guarantees are treated as a contingent liability and not recorded in main accounts if a call is not likely (typically one-off guarantees)
But what about personal financial statements?

Every business needs capital to grow and a good regular cashflow is the life blood of all enterprises. Achieving that can often be more difficult and too often businesses are simply financing a bad debt hole.
Most people accept that in order to start a business it will require investment in a number of forms; money, time, energy and probably a fair degree of hope. Those funds may be readily available from external sources like banks, peer to peer lenders, friends, family, grants, even credit cards. So often the drive and vision for the new enterprise overshadows the actual monetary return on the investment and the negative impact of cashflow is felt.
