Need for accounting standard
In recent years there has been a huge growth worldwide in the variety and complexity of financial instruments in international financial
markets.
There were numerous concerns about the accounting practices used for financial instruments which led to demands for an accounting
standard. The concern included the following:
There had been significant growth in the number and complexity of financial instruments.
Accounting standards had not developed in line with the growth in instruments.
There had been a particular problem with derivatives (e.g. forwards, future, swaps, etc.)
Unrealized gains/losses on many financial instruments were not recognized.
Entities could choose when to recognize profits on instruments in order to smooth profits.
Accounting standards
There are three reporting standards that deal with financial instruments:
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IAS 32 deals with the classification of financial instruments and their presentation in financial statements.
IFRS 9 deals with how financial instruments are measured and when they should be recognized in financial statements.
IFRS 7 deals with the disclosure of financial instruments in financial statements.
Financial assets
A financial asset is any asset that is:
Cash
A contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity
A contractual right to exchange financial assets or liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially
favourable
An equity instrument of another entity (IAS 32, para 11)
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation:
To deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or
To exchange financial assets or liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable, or
That will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments (IAS 32, para 11)
What are NOT within the scope of IFRS 9 and you should apply some other standard to these items:
Contract to deliver physical goods or services that is not settled by cash, cash equivalent, and financial
instruments.
Constructive obligations such as deferred income, warranty, or impairment provision; and statutory obligations
such as tax payables; which are all not contractual.
Special items with its own standards, such as insurance contracts under IFRS 4, finance lease under IAS 17 ,
share-based payment under IFRS 2, contract assets under IFRS 15, and contingent events and provisions under
IAS 37.
Certain loan commitments and finance guarantees that is not booked at the FVPL. However, potential credit
losses are subject to the ECL model like the finance lease.

4. Equity instruments
Any transaction costs associated with the purchase of these investments are expense to profit or loss, and are not included within
the initial value of the asset.
The investments are then revalued to fair value at each year-end, with any gain or loss being shown in the statement of profit or
loss.
Instead of classifying equity investments as fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), an entity may designate the investment as “fair
value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). This designation must be made on acquisition and can only be done if the
investment is intended as a long-term investment. Once designated this category cannot later be changed to FVPL.
Under FVOCI:
Transaction costs are capitalized.
The investments are revalued to fair value each year-end, with any gain or loss being shown in other comprehensive income
and taken to an investment reserve in equity.
This is similar to a revaluation of property, plant and equipment under IAS 16. The main difference is that the investment reserve
can be negative.
If a FVOCI investment is sold, the investment reserve will be transferred into retained earnings.
Equity instruments – Further detail
The normal expectation is that equity instruments will have the designation of fair value through profit or loss, with the price paid to
acquire the financial asset initially regarded as fair value. This could include unquoted equity investments, which may present problems
in arriving at a reliable fair value at each reporting date. However, IFRS 9 does not include a general expectation for unquoted equity
investments to be measured at cost. Instead if proves guidance on when cost may, or may not, be regarded as a reliable indicator of
fair value.
It is possible to designate an equity instrument as fair value through other comprehensive income, provided specified conditions have
been complied with as follows:
The equity instrument cannot be held for trading, and
There must be an irrevocable choice for this designation upon initial recognition.
In this situation, initial recognition will also include directly attributable transaction costs. This may apply, for example for strategic
investments to be held on a continuing basis which are not held to take advantage of changes in fair value. The election to designate
these investments at FVOCI would prevent any volatility in the share price being reflected within the entity’s profit.

Cash dividend is the payment of cash to shareholders in proportion to the number of shares owned. Cash dividend may be:
a. Certain amount of pesos per share

Property dividend is a dividend paid in the form of some asset other than cash.
Examples:
1. Noncurrent asset covered by PFRS 5 (e.g. property, plant and equipment, intangibles and investment in associate.
2. Assets other than those covered by PFRS 5 (e.g. current assets just like inventory, noncurrent assets covered by PFRS 9 like
FVTOCI).

SHARE DIVIDENDS
A share dividend is a dividend received in the form of the issuing entity’s own share. Share dividends from the point of view of
the issuing company may be classified as either small share dividend or large share dividend. However, accounting for small or
large dividend is an investment is the same. The accounting depends on the type of investment from which the dividends
received:
Note:
Stock dividend (Bonus issue)/(issuing entity’s own shares) shall be recorded only through memo (update carrying value per share).
It is a dividend paid in the form of entity’s own share. Shares of other entities declared as dividends qualify as property dividends and not
as share dividends.
Share dividends may be classified as either small share dividend or large share dividend. However, accounting for small or large dividend
in an investment is the same.
Liquidating dividends are received when the investee is either undergoing liquidation or a wasting asset corporation.
Under wasting asset doctrine, partial liquidation (or liquidation by installment) is allowed only for Wasting Asset Corporation.
But if the corporation is not a wasting asset corporation, one-time liquidation should be done and shareholders shall be paid
accordingly.
Stock Split or Share Split – is a decision by the company’s board of directors to increase the number of shares that are
outstanding by issuing more shares to current stockholders. (Accounting Treatment recorded as memorandum entry only.
No income is recognized.)
Stock right
A stock right or preemptive right is a privilege giving current stockholders the first right to buy shares in a new offering, thus
maintain their proportionate ownership interest.
The IFRS uses the term “right issue” for stock right. A shareholder is usually given one right for every share owned. The
exercise price or price to purchase a share is generally below the prevailing market price of the stock.
Theoretical Value of the Rights: If the fair value of the stock rights is not given, then the company can compute its value
using the theoretical value of the rights. Formulas for the computation of the theoretical or parity value of stock right are:
1. When the share is selling right-on:
Market value of share right-on minus subscription price
Number of rights to purchase one share plus 1 = Value of one right
5. Debt instruments
Debt instruments (such as bonds or redeemable preference shares) are categorized in one of three ways:
Fair value through profit or loss
Amortized cost
Fair value through other comprehensive income
The default category is again fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). The other two categories depend on the instrument
passing two tests:
Business model test. This considers the entity’s purpose in holding the investment.
Contractual cash flow characteristic test. This looks at the cash that will be received as a result of holding the
investment and considers what is comprises.
Amortized cost
For an instrument to be carried at amortized cost, the two test to be passed are:
Business model test. The entity must intend to hold the investment to maturity.
Contractual cash flow characteristics test. This contractual terms of the financial asset must give rise to cash flows
that are solely of principal and interest.
If a debt instrument is held at amortized cost, the interest income (calculated using the effective interest as for liabilities) will be
taken to the statement of profit or loss, and the year-end asset value is similarly calculated using an amortized cost table:
Balance beginning (b/f) Interest income Payment received Balance ending (c/f)

Computation of purchase price or present value: Terms bonds acquired on the interest date
Step 1 Compute for the present value of the bonds on the last interest date (or date of the bonds)
Step 2 To get the present value – date of acquisition, add the bond discount amortization (or deduct premium amortization)

Step 3 To get the total purchase price, add the nominal interest from the last interest date until the date of acquisition to the

PFRS 9, paragraph 4.1.5, provides that an entity at initial recognition may irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at
fair value through profit or loss even if the financial asset satisfies the amortized cost measurement.
In other words, investment in bonds can be designated without revocation as measured at fair value through profit or loss even if
the bonds are held for collection as a business model.
Under the fair value option, all changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
Moreover, the interest income is computed using the nominal interest rate rather than the effective interest rate.

The entry to record the sale is as follows:

c. Exercise of warrants: Assume the detachable warrants are subsequently exercised and the purchase price of the newly

Reclassification
For financial assets, reclassification is required if and only if the entity’s business model objective for its financial assets changes
so its previous model assessment would no longer apply. If reclassification is appropriate, it must be done prospectively from the
reclassification date. An entity does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses or interest.
A change in the objective of the entity’s business model must be effected before the reclassification date.
Reclassification date is defined as the first day of the first reporting period following the change in business model that results in
an entity reclassifying financial assets. The first day of the next reporting may mean the first day of the next quarter in which
financial statement is required to be presented.
PFRS 9 allows only reclassification on among the different categories of financial asset classified as debt securities.

FVOCI AMC (FV – FV) =OCI Amortized cost* (Adj. to FV, back to AMC) No – effective rate is not adjusted
Note: Reclassification shall be made prospectively from the reclassification date. The reclassification date as defined by IFRS 9 is the first day of
the first reporting period following the change in business model. Such reclassification is considered to be very infrequent.
Financial assets that are irrevocably designated or initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets are
measured at fair value through profit or loss “by irrevocable designation” or “by option”. This fair value option is applicable to investments it
bonds and other debt instruments which can be irrevocably designated as at fair value through profit or loss even if the financial assets satisfy
the amortization cost measurement.
This irrevocably designation is the fair value option allowed in accordance with par.4.1.5 of PFRS 9.
IMPAIRMENT (PFRS 9)
Scope
IFRS 9 requires that the same impairment model apply to all of the following:
1. Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
2. Financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI;
3. Loan commitments when there is a present obligation to extend credit (except where these are measured at FVTPL);
-Financial guarantee contracts to which IFRS 9 is applied (except those measured at FVTPL);
-Lease receivables within the scope of IAS 17 Leases; and
-Contract assets within the scope of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (i.e. rights to consideration following
transfer of goods or services).
2. Simplified model:
You don’t need to determine the stage of a financial asset, because a loss allowance is recognized always at a lifetime
expected credit loss.
Impairment
Impairment of financial assets is recognised in stages:
Stage 1—as soon as a financial instrument is originated or purchased, 12-month expected credit losses are recognised in profit or
loss and a loss allowance is established. This serves as a proxy for the initial expectations of credit losses. For financial assets,
interest revenue is calculated on the gross carrying amount (ie without deduction for expected credit losses).
Stage 2—if the credit risk increases significantly and is not considered low, full lifetime expected credit losses are recognised in
profit or loss. The calculation of interest revenue is the same as for Stage 1.
Stage 3—if the credit risk of a financial asset increases to the point that it is considered credit-impaired, interest revenue is
Page 10 of 30
calculated based on the amortised cost (ie the gross carrying amount less the loss allowance). Financial assets in this stage will
generally be assessed individually. Lifetime expected credit losses are recognised on these financial assets.
Any measurement of expected credit losses under IFRS 9 shall reflect an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is
determined by evaluating the range of possible outcomes as well as incorporating the time value of money. Also, the entity should
consider reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of
future economic conditions when measuring expected credit losses. [IFRS 9 paragraph 5.5.17]
The Standard defines expected credit losses as the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring
as the weightings. [IFRS 9 Appendix A] Whilst an entity does not need to consider every possible scenario, it must consider the risk
or probability that a credit loss occurs by considering the possibility that a credit loss occurs and the possibility that no credit loss
occurs, even if the probability of a credit loss occurring is low. [IFRS 9 paragraph 5.5.18]
In particular, for lifetime expected losses, an entity is required to estimate the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument
during its expected life. 12-month expected credit losses represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if a default occurs in
the 12 months after the reporting date, weighted by the probability of that default occurring.
An entity is required to incorporate reasonable and supportable information (i.e., that which is reasonably available at the reporting
date). Information is reasonably available if obtaining it does not involve undue cost or effort (with information available for financial
reporting purposes qualifying as such).
For applying the model to a loan commitment an entity will consider the risk of a default occurring under the loan to be advanced,
whilst application of the model for financial guarantee contracts an entity considers the risk of a default occurring of the specified
debtor. [IFRS 9 paragraphs B5.5.31 and B5.5.32]
An entity may use practical expedients when estimating expected credit losses if they are consistent with the principles in the
Standard (for example, expected credit losses on trade receivables may be calculated using a provision matrix where a fixed
provision rate applies depending on the number of days that a trade receivable is outstanding). [IFRS 9 paragraph B5.5.35]
To reflect time value, expected losses should be discounted to the reporting date using the effective interest rate of the asset (or an
approximation thereof) that was determined at initial recognition. A “credit-adjusted effective interest” rate should be used for
expected credit losses of purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. In contrast to the “effective interest rate”
(calculated using expected cash flows that ignore expected credit losses), the credit-adjusted effective interest rate reflects expected
credit losses of the financial asset. [IFRS 9 paragraphs B5.5.44-45]
Expected credit losses of undrawn loan commitments should be discounted by using the effective interest rate (or an approximation
thereof) that will be applied when recognising the financial asset resulting from the commitment. If the effective interest rate of a
loan commitment cannot be determined, the discount rate should reflect the current market assessment of time value of money and
the risks that are specific to the cash flows but only if, and to the extent that, such risks are not taken into account by adjusting the
discount rate. This approach shall also be used to discount expected credit losses of financial guarantee contracts. [IFRS 9

The standard IFRS 7 prescribes the disclosure requirements for all entities that have some financial instruments in their books.
IFRS 7 applies to everybody. So even if you work for a trading company and you have some loans and lots of trade receivables, then yes,
you should be familiar with IFRS 7 to know what to include in your notes to the financial statements.
There are some types of instruments that are exempt from IFRS 7 and you should provide disclosures in line with other standards,
such as:
Subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates
Insurance contracts
Employee benefit plans
Share-based payments
Equity instruments in line with IAS 32 (here, OWN equity instruments are excluded, not the equity instruments in other entities
as these are your financial assets)
These disclosures are necessary to understand whether the financial instruments are significant for entity’s financial position and
performance.
They are divided into few subgroups and let me list a few of them here for your information:
1. Disclosures for the statement of financial position:
o Carrying amounts of your financial instruments by their categories
o Financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
o Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
o Reclassifications
o Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
o Collaterals
o Allowance account for credit losses
o Compound financial instruments with multiple embedded derivatives
o Default and breaches
2. Disclosures for the statement of comprehensive income:
You should disclose the items of income, expense, gains or losses (by categories), mainly:
o Net gains or net losses on each category of the financial instruments
o Total interest revenue and total interest expense
o Fee income and expense
o Analysis of the gain or loss in the statement of comprehensive income from the derecognition of financial assets at
amortized cost
3. Other disclosures:
o Accounting policies
o Hedge accounting disclosures (risk management strategies, effect of hedge accounting…)
o Fair value (how it was determined, fair values of FA and FL, explanations when the fair value cannot be determined)
You should disclose most of the information listed above in breakdowns at least by the categories of financial instruments.
This part of the disclosures is really demanding, because it requires additional analysis and work, especially for market risk disclosures.
IFRS 7 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures for three main risks:
1. Credit risk
2. Liquidity risk
3. Market risk
For each type of risk, you should disclose:
Qualitative disclosures:
Here, you would normally describe how the company is exposed to the risks, how the risks arise and how it manages these
risks.
Quantitative disclosures:
You need to provide a summary of quantitative data (numbers) about the exposures to the risk.
It’s a lot of details and IFRS 7 requires specific quantitative disclosures for each type of risk (see below).
You should also provide the disclosures about the concentration of risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk relates to your financial assets and simply speaking, it is a risk that you will suffer a financial loss due to counterparty failing
to pay its obligations.
If you have trade receivables or you provide loans, then you are exposed to credit risk and you should focus on this part of the standard.
This is one example of how your quantitative credit risk disclosure can look like for trade receivables:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to your financial liabilities and it is a kind of “opposite” to the credit risk.
It is the risk that YOU will not meet your obligations from financial liabilities to be settled with cash or another financial asset.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that either the fair value or future cash flows from your financial assets or financial liabilities will fluctuate due to
changes in market prices.
Market risk has a few components, based on what causes the change in future cash flows or fair value:
Currency risk: the risk that foreign exchange rate changes cause the fluctuations in cash flows or fair values;
Interest rate risk: : fluctuations are caused by the changes in interest rates;
Other price risk: Fluctuations are caused by the changes in other market prices, such as commodity prices, equity prices, etc.
The disclosures for market risk are quite demanding and require some work, because you need to produce sensitivity analysis.
There are two types of sensitivity analysis and you can choose the one that’s the best in your situation:
1. ”Basic” sensitivity analysis: Here, you need to simulate the changes in certain variable (interest rate, foreign exchange
rate, etc.) and show how profit or loss and equity would have been affected.
2. Value-at-risk analysis: Here, you need to analyze interdependencies between variables, for example between interest rates
and exchange rates.
Other disclosures
Except for these 2 big groups of IFRS 7 disclosures (significance and nature of risk), there is few more information required about:
Transfers of financial assets, and
Information required on initial application of IFRS 9
How to present the disclosures?
As you can see from the above summary, IFRS 7 requires loads and loads of information to be presented. So, if you want your disclosures to be useful for the readers, please bear a few rule
Lots of disclosures are required by the classes of financial instruments (for example, credit risk disclosures or liquidity risk disclosures).
Classes are not the same as categories of financial instruments and here, you should group your financial instruments into classes according to your judgment, what’s the best for your readers to underst
You can provide the disclosures in an integrated package. Thus, one disclosure can satisfy more requirements.
Find the right balance between the level of detail and materiality.
Make sure you include all material information, but don’t include excessive details about items not significant that
much, because otherwise the users will be confused and the disclosures would be useless.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Identify which of the following are financial instruments:
a) Inventories
b) Investment in ordinary shares
c) Prepayments for goods or services
d) Liability for income taxes
e) A share option (an entity’s obligation to issue its own shares)
Solution
a) Inventory (or any other physical asset such as non-current assets) is not a financial instrument since there is no present
contractual right to receive cash or other financial instruments.
b) An investment in ordinary shares is a financial asset since it is an equity instrument of another entity.
c) Prepayments for goods or services are not financial instruments since the future economic benefit will be the receipt of
goods or services rather than a financial asset.
d) A liability for income taxes is not a financial instrument since the obligation is statutory rather than contractual
e) A share option is a financial instrument since a contractual obligation exists to deliver an equity instrument.
