Question 3

IFRS 9 - Regular way transactions: definition ? what are the options ?

Answer 3

A purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
Options :
1 - Trade date accounting
2 - Settlement date accounting

Question 4

IFRS 9 - Settlement date accounting treatment:
for a PURCHASE
traded before and settled after reporting period end
at Amort cost, FVTOCI, FVTPL ?

Answer 4

1 Trade date : no entries

adjustment of carrying amount to FV
b-Amort cost : no entry
2 Period end : no FV adjustments no entries

Question 6

IFRS 9 - criteria for asset de-recognition ?

Answer 6

1 - Level -consolidated or separate FS
2 - PART or ALL of the asset
3 - NO RETAINED CASHFLOWS > DeRecognise in full
- No right to receive further cash flows from asset OR
- Obligation to transfer cashflows to third party AND
a) No obl to remit any uncollected amounts
b) No selling, pledging of asset
c) Remittance w/o material delay
d) Remit ev short term interest
4 - PARTIALLY RETAINED CASHFLOWS
- Risks + Reward substantially :
a) Transferred ? DeRecognise
b) Retained ? NO DeRecognition
c) Control fully transferred ?
a) Yes =>DeRecognition
b) No =>Partial DeRecognition
(continuing involvement)

Question 7

IFRS 9 - criteria for transfer of control for derecognition?

Answer 7

Control was transferred only when transferee purchaser has
- unilateral + practical ability
- to sell asset in its entirety
- w/o restrictions
Practical ability eg=there is an active market for the item and can be repurchased if return is required
In all other cases, control is RETAINED

Question 8

IFRS 9 - criteria for transfer of risk & rewards of ownership ?

Answer 8

Transfer of significant variability in amount + timing of cash flows

Examples substantially transferred :

1) unconditional sale
2) sale w/repurchase at FV at time of purchase
3) sale w/put/call option deeply out of money

Examples substantially retained :

1) sale w/repurchase at FV at fixed price
2) security lending agreement
3) sale w/total return swap transferring back the risks&rewards
4) sale w/deep into the money put/call option
5) sale of shortterm AR w/credit risk guarantee likely to occur

Question 9

IFRS 9 - Accounting treatement

• for derecognition
• no dercognition
• continued involvement

Answer 9

1 Asset qualifies for DeRecognition :
- dereognise asset in entirety
- record NEW asset for cashflows retained
2- No DeRecognition :
a- continue recognising asset in entirety
b- no offset of assets + liabs or income + expenses
c- record liability for amounts received:
(i) Written Put/purchased call option :
Amort cost :
liab = cash received
amortised to exercise price
FV-call option :
asset FV/option strike price
less option time value
if option money =
in/at : liab = exercise price
out : liab = asset FV
FV-written put :
option strike price
plus option time value
Asset FV limited to option strike price !
3- Continued Involvement :
- Partial DeRecognition of Asset
- Guarantee :
asset/liab for guaranteed amt
+ liab for FV of guarantee recognised over time

2-Business model test contr cash flow only
3-FVTPL Option not selected

Question 15

IFRS 9 - What Financial assets are measured at FVTPL mandatorily ?

contr cashflow + sales + FVTPL option NOT designated
2) Equities not held for trading
+ FVTOCI option designated

Question 17

IFRS 9 - How are financial asset measured at initial recognition ?

Answer 17

1-Trade receivables w/o sign financing : at transaction value
2-All other :
FV + incr. transaction cost (FVTOCI or Amort Cost)
Normally transaction price = FV,
Exceptions :
- if not traded at FV (unit of acct, interco, forced, etc)
- includes comp for something else than Fin Instr
(eg loan w/no interest - FV = discounted value)
3-Acctg treatment of diff w/FV :
FV level 1 or 2 w/only observable inputs => PL
FV level 3 => FV is adjusted

Question 18

IFRS 9 - When are financial liability measured at FVTPL ?

Answer 18

At initial recognition
Irrevocable/No subs assessment

(iii) with embedded derivatives
3) liabs from continuing involvement from trsfrd assets
4) fin guarantee contracts
5) commitments to provide loan below market rates
6) derivatives

Question 19

IFRS 9 - accounting treatement of transaction (acquisition) cost ?

Answer 19

1) FVTPL -> expensed
2) FVTOCI -> added to FV at initial recognition
- > ignored at subsequent FV measurement to OCI
3) Amort cost -> added to FV at initial recognition

Question 20

IFRS 9 - Technique to determine change in FV due to own credit risk in Fin Liabs ?

Answer 20

Own credit risk = Difference of
1) FV of instrument AND
2) PV of
a) instrument’s remaining cashflow
b) discount rate :
current benchmark rate
+ original instrument specific rate
3) Instrument specific rate =
Internal rate
less benchmark (eg libor) interest rate

at initial recognition date
=>instrument specific rate
4) Assumes that changes due to other than credit risk + benchmark are insignificant

Question 21

IFRS 9 - What + when are acquisition cost added to financial asset value ?

Answer 21

1) only incremental acquisition cost
(that would not have been incurred if specific transaction did not take place)
2) only when measured at
(I) amortised cost or
(II) FVTOCI

Question 40

IFRS 9 - Difference FV hedge / Cashflow hedge ?

Answer 40

_FV hedge "**fixed items**" :_ - Fixed **rate** items' risks - Interest, credit, termination option (eg fixed interest bond swaped for a variable rate) Unrecognized **firm** commitments _Cashflow hedge "**variable items**"_ - Variable **rate** items' risks - Interest, credit, termination option (eg variable interest bond swaped for a fixed rate) Highly probable forecast trans _Foreign currency risk :_ can be treated as either cashflow or FV hedge

Question 41

IFRS 9 - Impairment what approach is applied when ?

Answer 41

1 - Simplified approach : Trade receivables\*, Contract asset\*, Lease receivables\* \*w/o sign financing component or if entity selects to apply life time expected credit loss 2 - General approach - all other

Question 42

IFRS 9 - Stages of the general approach impairment loss allowance ?

Answer 42

Stage 1 : - 12 months expected credit loss - low risk assets- collective assessment Stage 2 : - life time expected credit loss - risk increased sign since initial recognition - assumed if overdue for more than 30 days Stage 3 : - life time expected credit loss - impaired fin asset evidenced by event- assumed if overdue more than 90 days

Question 43

IFRS 9 - How are expected credit losses calculated ?

Answer 43

**A-General approach :** Stage 1) _12 months expected credit loss :_ Expected Life time credit loss Weighted w/probability of occurence within 12 months Discounted to expected timing Stage 2) _Life time expected credit loss :_ Carrying amount **less** PV of expected cash flows Weighted with probability of occurance For various periods Effective int rate NOT adjusted Stage 3) Same as 2 Effective int rate adjusted **B- Simplified approach :** Nominal (non-discounted) amounts split by aging weighted by loss probability percentage

Question 44

IFRS 9 - For assets/liabilities measured at amortised cost/FVTOCI, when is the effective interest rate updated ?

Answer 44

1 - Stage 3 credit impaired assets (in accordance with the expected cashflows) 2 - Variable rate debt instruments, (upon change of the variable rate) 3- Upon modification/renegotiation that result in **de-recognition** of the financial liability If NOT, new carrying amt = new cashflows @ original effective interest Difference =\> PL 4) Fair value hedge items at amortised cost when no further FV adjustments

Question 45

IFRS 9 - Impairment loss : what discount rates should be used ?

Answer 45

1) Lease receivable : discount rate used for lease receivable 2) Loan commitment/guarantee : Estimate of rate that would be used when recognising the asset or iI not possible : market rate for time value + risks not included in cashflows 3) Other : Effective interest rate at initial recognition, Approximation thereof, Current rate for variable rate instruments
