Individual Financial Statements Standards Change Date of application Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments On 30 May 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB or Board) issued amendments to the classification and measurement require- ments in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The amendments will address diversity in accounting practice by making the requirements more understandable and consistent. These amendments aim to: - Clarify the classification of financial assets with environmental, social, and cor- porate governance (ESG) and similar features, as ESG-linked features in loans could affect whether the loans are measured at amortised cost or fair value. To resolve any potential diversity in practice, the amendments clarify how the contractual cash flows on such loans should be assessed. - Clarify the date on which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognised when the settlement of liabilities is made through electronic payment systems. There is an accounting policy option to allow a company to derecognise a financial liability before it delivers cash on the settlement date if specified criteria are met. - Enhance the description of the term ‘non-recourse’, under the amendments, a financial asset has non-recourse features if an entity’s ultimate right to receive cash flows is contractually limited to the cash flows generated by specified assets. The presence of non-recourse features does not necessarily preclude the financial asset from meeting the SPPI criterion, but the features do need to be carefully considered. - Clarify that a contractually linked instrument must feature a waterfall payment structure that creates concentration of credit risk by allocating losses dispro- portionately between different tranches. The underlying pool can include fi- nancial instruments not in the scope of IFRS 9 classification and measurement (e.g., lease receivables), but must have cash flows that are equivalent to SPPI. The IASB has also introduced additional disclosure requirements regarding in- vestments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other compre- hensive income and financial instruments with contingent features, for example features tied to ESG-linked targets. The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Earlier application is permitted. 1 January 2026 480
