The problem with IFRS 9 is that many accounting professionals believe that IFRS 9 does not affect their company.
“Our company doesn’t make use of financial instruments -- we are a manufacturing entity, so this is not a cause for concern?”
Well, that is not entirely true.
Do you / your entity sell or buy on credit? That means you hold a financial instrument in the form of a trade receivable or payable. Thereby, IFRS 9 will apply to you.
1 January 2018 marks the date that IFRS 9 becomes fully effective.
All public companies and companies with a sufficiently high Public Interest Score are now required to apply IFRS 9.
Break down IFRS 9 to help professionals better understand what is required of them when accounting for financial instrument transactions and preparation of financial statements, and thereby overcoming the fear and uncertainty that IFRS 9 brings.
This session provides a high-level overview of the following aspects of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments:
- Recognition
- Classification of financial instruments
- Measurement
- Impairment
- Hedge Accounting
- Derecognition
Definitions and disclosure requirements largely form part of other Financial Instruments standards within IFRS, i.e. IAS 32 and IFRS 7. These standards will only briefly be looked at.
