ASsety Cial liab; Introduction : PAS 32 provides guidance in presenting fina liabilities or equity, in offsetting financial liabilities, and in classifying financial ins: perspective of the issuer, into financial asset and equity instruments. PAS 32 complements PFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which Prescribes the recognition and measurement Of financial asset and financial © liabilities, and PFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which prescribes the disclosures for finandd instruments. PAS 32 applies to all types of financial instruments and t commodity contracts that are not financial instruments but canbe settled net, except the following for which other Standards apply: a. investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures; a b. employer's tights and obligations under employee ber Plans and share-based payments; and ¢. insurance contracts Ncial instrument, assets and finan, truments, from the S, financial liabilities Financial Instruments financl Financial instrument — ig “any contract that gives rise toa” : fe men asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity inst™ another entity.” (pas 32.11) id ; i instrument of another entity; ; a tual right to receive cash or another financial asset A noite entity; : : frome actual right to exchange financial instruments with i - ie entity under conditions that are potentially favorable; 11 or may be settled in the entity’s own contract that wi : 7 ety j struments and is not classified as the entity's own a ty instrument ’ : 4 qncial liability - iS any liability that is: a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial . asset to another entity; A contractual obligation to exchange financial Ss "financial liabilities with another entity undet conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity; or A contract that will. or may be settled in the entity's own equity instruments and is not classified as the entity's own equity instrument.
