Financial instruments: Derecognition

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financial crisis of 2008 has shown us that simplifications to the complex IAS 39 were necessary, so the IAS 39 has been replaced by IFRS 9 effective as of 1 January 2018.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 will introduce the participants to the concept of derecognition of financial instruments for banks.

At the end of this module, the participant should be able to:

• Recognise for which balance sheet line items the concept of derecognition of financial instrument is applicable

• Distinguish between the derecognition of financial liabilities and financial assets

• Obtain a basic understanding of why the concept of consolidation is closely related to the concept of derecognition

• Obtain understanding of specialised topics such as securitisation and factoring
