14 PFRS 9 Financial Instruments Summary
14 PFRS 9 Financial Instruments Summary
Objective
Establish principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present
relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts,
timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows.
Scope
PFRS 9 shall be applied by all entities to all types of financial instruments except:
Definitions
12-month expected The portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent the expected
credit losses credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are
possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Amortized cost of a The amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial
financial asset or recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative
financial liability amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between
that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for
any loss allowance.
Derecognition The removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from
an entity’s statement of financial position.
Derivative A financial instrument or other contract within the scope of PFRS 9 with all three
of the following characteristics.
a. its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate,
financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index
of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided
in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a
party to the contract (sometimes called the ‘underlying’).
b. it requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is
smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be
expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors.
Effective interest The method that is used in the calculation of the amortised cost of a financial
method asset or a financial liability and in the allocation and recognition of the interest
revenue or interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period.
Effective interest rate The rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts
through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross
carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial
liability.
Reclassification date The first day of the first reporting period following the change in business model
that results in an entity reclassifying financial assets.
Solely payments of Returns consistent with a basic lending arrangement, interest may include
principal and interest return not only for the time value of money and credit risk but also for other
(SPPI) components such as a return for liquidity risk, amounts to cover expenses and a
profit margin.
Transaction costs Incremental costs that is directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal
of a financial asset or financial liability. An incremental cost is one that would not
have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the
financial instrument.
When the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
At fair value, plus for those financial assets and liabilities not classified at fair value through profit or
loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Fair value - is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date
Directly attributable transaction costs - incremental costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability.
In other words transaction cost would immediately be recognized as an expense if the financial asset or
liability is classified at fair value through profit or loss.
Debt instruments shall be classified at Amortized Cost (AC), Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) or Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL).
Equity instruments shall be classified at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income
(FVOCI) or Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL).
DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Requisites for The asset is held to collect its contractual cash flows and
Classification The asset’s contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and
interest’
Profit or Loss Effective interest income
Implications Impairments losses and reversal gains
Gain or loss on derecognition
Statement of Measured at amortized cost
financial position Classified as a non current asset unless maturity is within 12 months after the
end of the reporting period
Requisites for The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual
Classification cash flows and selling financial assets; and
The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Profit or Loss Effective interest (income)
Implications Impairments losses and reversal gains
Gain or loss on derecognition including reclassification adjustments (PAS 1)
OCI Changes in fair value due to subsequent measurement
Statement of Measured at fair value after amortization for the effective interest
Financial Cumulative gain or loss on fair value in Equity
Position Since PFRS 5 excludes the scope for financial assets, FVOCI are non current
asset unless maturity is within 12 months after the end of the reporting period
Note that both amortization is applied under the effective interest method before applying the FV
measurement requirement for the FVOCI classification
Requisites for This is a “residual category” if none of the two previously mentioned (AC and
Classification FVOCI) business models apply or if any of the two business model apply but the
contractual cash flows are NOT SPPI for example if interest will include a profit
participation.
If the two requisites for the AC and FVOCI category are met but the entity
elects to measure debt instruments at FVPL to eliminate an “accounting
mismatch” because financial liabilities are measured at FVPL.
Profit or Loss Nominal interest (income)
Implications Direct transaction cost incurred on acquisition
Gain or loss on changes in fair value on subsequent measurement
Gain or loss on derecognition
Statement of Measured at fair value
Financial Under the assumption the Financial asset is held for trading, FVPL shall be
Position classified as a current asset (PAS 1)
EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
Requisites for
Both held for Trading or Non Trading
Classification
Profit or Loss Dividends
Implications Direct transaction cost incurred on acquisition
Gain or loss on changes in fair value on subsequent measurement
Gain or loss on derecognition
Statement of Measured at fair value
Financial Position Under the assumption the Financial asset is held for trading, FVPL shall be
classified as a current asset (PAS 1)
Note that PFRS 9 has eliminated the impairment loss category for equity instruments
The impairment model follows a three-stage approach based on changes in expected credit losses of a
financial instrument that determine
a. The recognition of impairment, and
b. The recognition of interest revenue
Stage 1 – Applied at initial recognition and subsequent measurement when there is no significant
increase in credit risk
a. 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.
b. Entities continue to recognise 12 month expected losses that are updated at each reporting date
c. Effective interest is based on the gross carrying amount rather than the carrying amount net of
allowance for impairment.
Stage 2 – Applied at subsequent measurement when there is a significant increase in credit risk.
a. If the credit risk increases significantly and the resulting credit quality is not considered to be low
credit risk, full lifetime expected credit losses are recognised.
b. Lifetime expected credit losses are only recognised if the credit risk increases significantly from
when the entity originates or purchases the financial instrument.
c. Effective interest is based on the gross carrying amount rather than the carrying amount net of
allowance for impairment.
Stage 3 – Applied at subsequent measurement when there is credit impairment
a. If the credit risk of a financial asset increases to the point that it is considered credit-impaired,
interest revenue is calculated based on the net amortised cost
b. Financial assets in this stage will generally be individually assessed.
c. Lifetime expected credit losses are still recognized on the financial assets.
MEASUREMENT OF CREDIT LOSSES
Credit losses are the present value of all cash shortfalls. Expected credit losses are an estimate of credit
losses over the life of the financial instrument.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
DERECOGNITION
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
FINANCIAL ASSETS
The following criteria should be met in order for an entity to derecognize a financial asset:
a. The rights to the cash flows from the asset has expired.
b. The entity has transferred its rights to receive the cash flows from the asset and transferred
substantially all the risk and rewards.
c. If the entity does not retain control of the asset
The recognition for the gains and losses from derecognition will depend if the financial asset is a debt
instrument or equity instrument and its classification as AC, FVOCI or FVPL.
