IASB publishes its review of classification and measurement requirements relating to financial instruments

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published its project report and feedback statement concluding the Post-implementation Review (PIR) of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Feedback from stakeholders and research undertaken as part of the PIR show that the requirements set out in IFRS 9 are working as intended and provide useful information to the users of financial statements.

In response to feedback, the IASB has also identified areas for research and standard-setting to further enhance information provided to users of financial statements.

The IASB has initiated a standard-setting project focused on a company’s assessment of the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with ESG-linked features and on electronic cash transfers as settlement of a financial asset or liability.

This will also include:

  • improvements to disclosures of fair value changes relating to equity instruments a company has presented in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss (OCI presentation election).
