The recent turmoil in the global banking sector is a sharp reminder of the importance of financial instruments and how they are accounted for and reported on.
Given the current macro-economic climate, the application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments has been a recent regulator focus area.
In addition, the IASB is in the process of finalising its post implementation review of IFRS 9, to make amendments and improvements to the standard based on feedback from users.
In this session we will deal with the following matters:
- Overview of the IASB’s post implementation review of IFRS 9
- Classification and measurement principles applied to specific transactions, including loans with ESG features and intercompany loans
- Financial guarantee contracts
- Supplier financing
- Expected credit loss considerations
- Derecognition of financial liabilities using electronic payment systems
- Developments around financial instruments with equity features
- Financial risk disclosure and its increased relevance in the current environment
