Classification and measurement under IFRS 9
Overview
Financial instruments are pervasive across all reporting entities and even more so in the financial services sector. In the nineties, there were a lot of problems with the accounting for financial instruments. In response to that the IASB issued IAS 39. However, the global financial crisis of 2008 has shown us that simplifications to the complex IAS 39 were necessary, so the IAS 39 has been replaced by IFRS 9 effective as of 1 January 2018. There are a number of IFRS standards that are relevant to financial instruments.
This e-learning module provides learning for classification and measurement in terms of IFRS 9 financial instruments. In this we will look separately at the categories of financial assets, including the SPPI test, financial liabilities and derivatives as well as highlighting the impact for banks.
At the end of this module, the participant should be able to:
Understand the overall model of classification and measurement of financial assets
Understand classification and measurement of derivatives under IFRS 9
Understand classification and measurement of liabilities under IFRS 9
Obtain an understanding when reclassification is applicable under IFRS 9
