#IFRS9 #FinancialInstruments #FinancialAssets #Classification The initial recognition of financial instruments differs based on the nature. Ex. in case of forward contracts, fair value of the forward contract is zero because no time has elapsed. Classification of financial assets through the following models for subsequent measurement: 1. Financial Assets: Amortized Cost - The FA should have the characteristics of contractual cash flows and solely payment of its principal and interest. 2. Financial Assets: FVTOCI (Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income) - The FA should have the characteristics of receiving the contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets and payment criteria on the specific date. 3. Financial Assets: FVTPL (Fair value through profit and loss AC): Not covered in the above two. Ex. Frequent trading in the purchase and sell of mutual funds. Equity investments are generally classified to be measured through FVTOCI, if it is opted at the inception and held for trading. #unlockthepotentialandaccelerate #happylearning :)

Thank you for the summary. The "specific date" principle is often cited, but can often be quite tricky in practice. Take the case of a revolving facility such as a credit card. Yes, there are very specific rules about how interest are being accrued, but the payments are more or less discretionary until the customer has hit the credit limit, and even then they have large discretion in how to pay back, a freedom that also means that the card will charge a high interest. However, the key is the accumulation of interest on the instrument in a clear specified way compared to equity instruments.
