Compound Instruments
Some financial instruments, called compound instruments, have both a liability and an equity element.
In case this case, IAS 32 requires the component parts to be separated from each other, with each part accounted for and
presented separately according to its substance.
To illustrate, a convertible bond contains two components.
One is a financial liability, the issuers contractual obligation to pay cash (principal and interest on the bond), and
The other is an equity instrument, a call option written to the holder to convert the debt security into common shares.
The separation of components is made at the time the instrument is issued and is not subsequently revised as a result of a
change in interest rates, share price, or other event that changes the likelihood that the conversion option will be exercised.

2,000 convertible bonds at the start of 2008
The bonds have a threeyear term,
Issued at par with a face value of 1,000 per bond.
Interest is payable annually in arrears at 6%.
Each bond is convertible at the holders discretion at any time up to maturity into 250 ordinary common shares of DT plc.
The present value of bond cash flows at a market rate (say 10%) of interest for a similar financial instrument without the equity
conversion option 1,801,052 . This is the liability component.
The difference between the issue proceeds, 2,000,000, and the fair value of the liability component is assigned to the equity
component 198,948.

Contracts to buy or sell financial assets (for example, contracts to buy securities on an exchange) will have standard
delivery terms prescribed by the exchange. For example, transactions of securities may be required by the exchange
days to be settled three after the trade date a trade taking place today must be paid for (if purchased) or delivered (if
sold) three businesses days from the trade date. For example a trade executed on 11 May settles on 14 May. This kind
of settlement is known as regular way settlement.
The fixed price commitment between trade date and settlement date is a forward contract that meets the definition of
a derivative. However, because of the short duration of the commitment, such a contract is not recognized as a
derivative financial instrument under IFRS 9.
The standard permits either trade date accounting or settlement date accounting for regularway purchases or
sales of a financial asset
Trade date accounting and settlement date accounting refer to methods of recognizing an asset acquired (and
any associated liability incurred) and derecognizing an asset sold (and any associated receivable recognized).
The method used must be applied consistently for all purchases and sales of financial assets that belong to the
same category of financial assets, as defined in IFRS 9.
The choice of method is an accounting policy.

Included in the financial assets of Traveler is a ten-year 7% loan. At 30 November 2011, the borrower was in financial
difficulties and its credit rating had been downgraded. Traveler has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the loan
asset is currently held at amortized cost of $29 million. Traveler now wishes to value the loan at fair value using current
market interest rates. Traveler has agreed for the loan to be restructured; there will only be three more annual
payments of $8 million starting in one years time. Current market interest rates are 8%, the original effective interest
rate is 67% and the effective interest rate under the revised payment schedule is 63%.

Once the asset under consideration for derecognition has been determined, an assessment is made as to whether the
asset has been transferred, and if so, whether the transfer of that asset is subsequently eligible for derecognition.
An asset is transferred if either the entity has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash flows, or the entity
has retained the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset, but has assumed a contractual obligation
to pass those cash flows on under an arrangement that meets the following three conditions:
the entity has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipient unless it collects equivalent amounts on the
original asset
the entity is prohibited from selling or pledging the original asset (other than as security to the eventual
recipient),
the entity has an obligation to remit those cash flows without material delay
Once an entity has determined that the asset has been transferred, it then determines whether or not it has
transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. If substantially all the risks and rewards
have been transferred, the asset is derecognised. If substantially all the risks and rewards have been retained,
derecognition of the asset is precluded.
If the entity has neither retained nor transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, then the entity
must
assess whether it has relinquished control of the asset or not. If the entity does not control the asset then

Hedge Accounting
IAS 39 permits hedge accounting under certain circumstances provided that the hedging relationship is:
formally designated and documented, including the entity's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the
hedge, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the entity
will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness; and
expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk as
designated and documented, and effectiveness can be reliably measured.
Hedging Instruments
All derivative contracts with an external counterparty may be designated as hedging instruments except for some written
options.
An external non-derivative financial asset or liability may not be designated as a hedging instrument except as a hedge of
foreign currency risk.
A proportion of the derivative may be designated as the hedging instrument. Generally, specific cash flows inherent in a
derivative cannot be designated in a hedge relationship while other cash flows are excluded. However, the intrinsic value and
the time value of an option contract may be separated, with only the intrinsic value being designated. Similarly, the interest
element and the spot price of a forward can also be separated,
the spot price being the designated risk.
Hedgedwith
Items
A hedged item can be:
a single recognized asset or liability, firm commitment, highly probable transaction, or a net investment in a foreign
operation;
a group of assets, liabilities, firm commitments, highly probable forecast transactions, or net investments in foreign
operations with similar risk characteristics;
a held-to-maturity investment for foreign currency or credit risk (but not for interest risk or prepayment risk);
a portion of the cash flows or fair value of a financial asset or financial liability; or
a non-financial item for foreign currency risk only or the risk of changes in fair value of the entire item.
in a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk (Macro Hedge) only, a portion of the portfolio of financial assets or financial liabilities
that share the risk being hedged.
Hedge Effectiveness
To qualify for hedge accounting at the inception of a hedge and, at a minimum, at each reporting date, the changes in the fair
value or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk must be expected to be highly effective in offsetting the
changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument on a prospective basis, and on a retrospective basis where
actual results are within a range of 80% to 125%.
All hedge ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in the income statement (including ineffectiveness within
the 80% to 125% window).
Discontinuation of Hedge
Accounting
If hedge accounting ceases for a cash flow hedge relationship because the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, gains
and losses deferred in equity must be taken to the income statement immediately. If the transaction is still expected to occur and the
hedge relationship ceases, the amounts accumulated in equity will be retained in equity until the hedged item affects profit or loss.
