BACKGROUND INFORMATION

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments includes requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition and general hedge accounting. The IASB completed its project to replace IAS 39 in phases, adding to the standard as it completed each phase. The version of IFRS 9 issued in 2014 supersedes all previous versions and has been mandatorily effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It is a widely applicable standard in most industries because the definition of financial instruments is somewhat wide and includes plain vanilla assets such as cash and receivables. Accordingly, its scope is very wide and most entities reporting under IFRS will apply it. Entities with more complex financial instruments however need to consider the more challenging aspects of the standard such as the impairment provisions and hedge accounting.

WHY IS THE SESSION OF RELEVANCE TO OUR MEMBERS?

Given that financial instruments are found in all position statements, the session is relevant to all practitioners
