International Financial Reporting Standard 7

Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Objective
1
The objective of this IFRS is to require entities to provide disclosures in their

financial statements that enable users to evaluate:
(a)
the significance of financial instruments for the entitys financial position

and performance; and
(b)
the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which
the entity is exposed during the period and at the reporting date, and how
the entity manages those risks.
The principles in this IFRS complement the principles for recognising,

measuring and presenting financial assets and financial liabilities in IAS 32
Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement.
Scope
3
This IFRS shall be applied by all entities to all types of financial instruments,
except:
(a)
those interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures that are

accounted for in accordance with IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements, IAS 28 Investments in Associates or IAS 31
Interests in Joint Ventures. However, in some cases, IAS 27, IAS 28 or
IAS 31 permits an entity to account for an interest in a subsidiary,
associate or joint venture using IAS 39; in those cases, entities shall apply
the disclosure requirements in IAS 27, IAS 28 or IAS 31 in addition to
those in this IFRS. Entities shall also apply this IFRS to all derivatives
linked to interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures unless the
derivative meets the definition of an equity instrument in IAS 32.

IFRS 7 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: DISCLOSURES
(b)
employers rights and obligations arising from employee benefit plans, to

which IAS 19 Employee Benefits applies.
(c)
contracts for contingent consideration in a business combination (see

IFRS 3 Business Combinations). This exemption applies only to the
acquirer.
(d)
insurance contracts as defined in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. However,

this IFRS applies to derivatives that are embedded in insurance contracts
if IAS 39 requires the entity to account for them separately.
(e)
financial instruments, contracts and obligations under share-based

payment transactions to which IFRS 2 Share-based Payment applies,
except that this IFRS applies to contracts within the scope of paragraphs
57 of IAS 39.
This IFRS applies to recognised and unrecognised financial instruments.

Recognised financial instruments include financial assets and financial liabilities
that are within the scope of IAS 39. Unrecognised financial instruments include
some financial instruments that, although outside the scope of IAS 39, are within
the scope of this IFRS (such as some loan commitments).
This IFRS applies to contracts to buy or sell a non-financial item that are within
the scope of IAS 39 (see paragraphs 57 of IAS 39).
Classes of financial instruments and level of

disclosure
6
When this IFRS requires disclosures by class of financial instrument, an entity

shall group financial instruments into classes that are appropriate to the nature of
the information disclosed and that take into account the characteristics of those
financial instruments. An entity shall provide sufficient information to permit
reconciliation to the line items presented in the balance sheet.

Significance of financial instruments for financial

position and performance
7
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial

statements to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for its
financial position and performance.
Balance sheet
Categories of financial assets and financial liabilities
8
The carrying amounts of each of the following categories, as defined in IAS 39,
shall be disclosed either on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes:
(a)
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, showing separately (i)
those designated as such upon initial recognition and (ii) those classified
as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39;
(b)
held-to-maturity investments;
(c)
loans and receivables;
(d)
available-for-sale financial assets;
(e)
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, showing separately

(i) those designated as such upon initial recognition and (ii) those
classified as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39; and
(f)
financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value

through profit or loss
9
If the entity has designated a loan or receivable (or group of loans or

receivables) as at fair value through profit or loss, it shall disclose:
Copyright IASCF
(a)
the maximum exposure to credit risk (see paragraph 36(a)) of the loan or
receivable (or group of loans or receivables) at the reporting date.
(b)
the amount by which any related credit derivatives or similar instruments

mitigate that maximum exposure to credit risk.
(c)
the amount of change, during the period and cumulatively, in the fair
value of the loan or receivable (or group of loans or receivables) that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial asset determined
either:
(i)
as the amount of change in its fair value that is not attributable to

changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk; or
(ii)
using an alternative method the entity believes more faithfully

represents the amount of change in its fair value that is attributable
to changes in the credit risk of the asset.
Changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk include

changes in an observed (benchmark) interest rate, commodity price,
foreign exchange rate or index of prices or rates.
(d)
10
the amount of the change in the fair value of any related credit derivatives
or similar instruments that has occurred during the period and
cumulatively since the loan or receivable was designated.
If the entity has designated a financial liability as at fair value through profit or
loss in accordance with paragraph 9 of IAS 39, it shall disclose:
(a)
the amount of change, during the period and cumulatively, in the fair
value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit
risk of that liability determined either:
(i)
as the amount of change in its fair value that is not attributable to

changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk (see
Appendix B, paragraph B4); or
(ii)
using an alternative method the entity believes more faithfully

represents the amount of change in its fair value that is attributable
to changes in the credit risk of the liability.
Copyright IASCF
Changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk include

changes in a benchmark interest rate, the price of another entitys
financial instrument, a commodity price, a foreign exchange rate or an
index of prices or rates. For contracts that include a unit-linking feature,
changes in market conditions include changes in the performance of the
related internal or external investment fund.
(b)
11
the difference between the financial liabilitys carrying amount and the
amount the entity would be contractually required to pay at maturity to
the holder of the obligation.
The entity shall disclose:

(a)
the methods used to comply with the requirements in paragraphs 9(c) and
10(a).
(b)
if the entity believes that the disclosure it has given to comply with the
requirements in paragraph 9(c) or 10(a) does not faithfully represent the
change in the fair value of the financial asset or financial liability
attributable to changes in its credit risk, the reasons for reaching this
conclusion and the factors it believes are relevant.
Reclassification
12
If the entity has reclassified a financial asset as one measured:

(a)
at cost or amortised cost, rather than at fair value; or
(b)
at fair value, rather than at cost or amortised cost,
it shall disclose the amount reclassified into and out of each category and the
reason for that reclassification (see paragraphs 5154 of IAS 39).
Derecognition
13
An entity may have transferred financial assets in such a way that part or all of
the financial assets do not qualify for derecognition (see paragraphs 1537 of
IAS 39). The entity shall disclose for each class of such financial assets:
Copyright IASCF
(a)
the nature of the assets;
(b)
the nature of the risks and rewards of ownership to which the entity
remains exposed;
(c)
when the entity continues to recognise all of the assets, the carrying
amounts of the assets and of the associated liabilities; and
(d)
when the entity continues to recognise the assets to the extent of its
continuing involvement, the total carrying amount of the original assets,
the amount of the assets that the entity continues to recognise, and the
carrying amount of the associated liabilities.
Collateral
14
15
An entity shall disclose:

(a)
the carrying amount of financial assets it has pledged as collateral for

liabilities or contingent liabilities, including amounts that have been
reclassified in accordance with paragraph 37(a) of IAS 39; and
(b)
the terms and conditions relating to its pledge.
When an entity holds collateral (of financial or non-financial assets) and is

permitted to sell or repledge the collateral in the absence of default by the owner
of the collateral, it shall disclose:
(a)
the fair value of the collateral held;
(b)
the fair value of any such collateral sold or repledged, and whether the
entity has an obligation to return it; and
(c)
the terms and conditions associated with its use of the collateral.
Allowance account for credit losses

16
When financial assets are impaired by credit losses and the entity records the
impairment in a separate account (eg an allowance account used to record
individual impairments or a similar account used to record a collective
Copyright IASCF
impairment of assets) rather than directly reducing the carrying amount of the
asset, it shall disclose a reconciliation of changes in that account during the
period for each class of financial assets.
Compound financial instruments with multiple

embedded derivatives
17
If an entity has issued an instrument that contains both a liability and an equity
component (see paragraph 28 of IAS 32) and the instrument has multiple
embedded derivatives whose values are interdependent (such as a callable
convertible debt instrument), it shall disclose the existence of those features.
Defaults and breaches

18
19
For loans payable recognised at the reporting date, an entity shall disclose:
(a)
details of any defaults during the period of principal, interest, sinking

fund, or redemption terms of those loans payable;
(b)
the carrying amount of the loans payable in default at the reporting date;
and
(c)
whether the default was remedied, or the terms of the loans payable were
renegotiated, before the financial statements were authorised for issue.
If, during the period, there were breaches of loan agreement terms other than
those described in paragraph 18, an entity shall disclose the same information as
required by paragraph 18 if those breaches permitted the lender to demand
accelerated repayment (unless the breaches were remedied, or the terms of the
loan were renegotiated, on or before the reporting date).
Copyright IASCF
Income statement and equity

Items of income, expense, gains or losses
20
An entity shall disclose the following items of income, expense, gains or losses
either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes:
(a)
net gains or net losses on:

(i)
financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or

loss, showing separately those on financial assets or financial
liabilities designated as such upon initial recognition, and those on
financial assets or financial liabilities that are classified as held for
trading in accordance with IAS 39;
(ii)
available-for-sale financial assets, showing separately the amount of

gain or loss recognised directly in equity during the period and the
amount removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss for the
period;
(iii) held-to-maturity investments;

(iv) loans and receivables; and
(v)
financial liabilities measured at amortised cost;
(b)
total interest income and total interest expense (calculated using the

trust and other fiduciary activities that result in the holding or

investing of assets on behalf of individuals, trusts, retirement
benefit plans, and other institutions;
Copyright IASCF
(d)
interest income on impaired financial assets accrued in accordance with

paragraph AG93 of IAS 39; and
(e)
the amount of any impairment loss for each class of financial asset.
Other disclosures
Accounting policies
21
In accordance with paragraph 108 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial

Statements, an entity discloses, in the summary of significant accounting
policies, the measurement basis (or bases) used in preparing the financial
statements and the other accounting policies used that are relevant to an
understanding of the financial statements.
Hedge accounting
22
23
An entity shall disclose the following separately for each type of hedge
described in IAS 39 (ie fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, and hedges of net
investments in foreign operations):
(a)
a description of each type of hedge;
(b)
a description of the financial instruments designated as hedging

instruments and their fair values at the reporting date; and
(c)
the nature of the risks being hedged.
For cash flow hedges, an entity shall disclose:

(a)
the periods when the cash flows are expected to occur and when they are
expected to affect profit or loss;
(b)
a description of any forecast transaction for which hedge accounting had

previously been used, but which is no longer expected to occur;
(c)
the amount that was recognised in equity during the period;
Copyright IASCF
10
24
(d)
the amount that was removed from equity and included in profit or loss
for the period, showing the amount included in each line item in the
income statement; and
(e)
the amount that was removed from equity during the period and included
in the initial cost or other carrying amount of a non-financial asset or nonfinancial liability whose acquisition or incurrence was a hedged highly
probable forecast transaction.
An entity shall disclose separately:

(a)
in fair value hedges, gains or losses:

(i)
on the hedging instrument; and
(ii)
on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
(b)
the ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss that arises from cash flow
hedges; and
(c)
the ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss that arises from hedges of

net investments in foreign operations.
Fair value
25
Except as set out in paragraph 29, for each class of financial assets and financial
liabilities (see paragraph 6), an entity shall disclose the fair value of that class of
assets and liabilities in a way that permits it to be compared with its carrying
amount.
26
In disclosing fair values, an entity shall group financial assets and financial
liabilities into classes, but shall offset them only to the extent that their carrying
amounts are offset in the balance sheet.
27

(a)
the methods and, when a valuation technique is used, the assumptions

applied in determining fair values of each class of financial assets or
financial liabilities. For example, if applicable, an entity discloses
11
Copyright IASCF
information about the assumptions relating to prepayment rates, rates of

estimated credit losses, and interest rates or discount rates.
28
29
(b)
whether fair values are determined, in whole or in part, directly by

reference to published price quotations in an active market or are
estimated using a valuation technique (see paragraphs AG71AG79 of
IAS 39).
(c)
whether the fair values recognised or disclosed in the financial statements

are determined in whole or in part using a valuation technique based on
assumptions that are not supported by prices from observable current
market transactions in the same instrument (ie without modification or
repackaging) and not based on available observable market data. For fair
values that are recognised in the financial statements, if changing one or
more of those assumptions to reasonably possible alternative assumptions
would change fair value significantly, the entity shall state this fact and
disclose the effect of those changes. For this purpose, significance shall
be judged with respect to profit or loss, and total assets or total liabilities,
or, when changes in fair value are recognised in equity, total equity.
(d)
if (c) applies, the total amount of the change in fair value estimated using
such a valuation technique that was recognised in profit or loss during the
period.
If the market for a financial instrument is not active, an entity establishes its fair
value using a valuation technique (see paragraphs AG74AG79 of IAS 39).
Nevertheless, the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition is the
transaction price (ie the fair value of the consideration given or received), unless
conditions described in paragraph AG76 of IAS 39 are met. It follows that there
could be a difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the amount
that would be determined at that date using the valuation technique. If such a
difference exists, an entity shall disclose, by class of financial instrument:
(a)
its accounting policy for recognising that difference in profit or loss to

reflect a change in factors (including time) that market participants would
consider in setting a price (see paragraph AG76A of IAS 39); and
(b)
the aggregate difference yet to be recognised in profit or loss at the

beginning and end of the period and a reconciliation of changes in the
balance of this difference.
Disclosures of fair value are not required:
Copyright IASCF
12
30
(a)
when the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value, for

example, for financial instruments such as short-term trade receivables
and payables;
(b)
for an investment in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market

price in an active market, or derivatives linked to such equity instruments,
that is measured at cost in accordance with IAS 39 because its fair value
cannot be measured reliably; or
(c)
for a contract containing a discretionary participation feature

(as described in IFRS 4) if the fair value of that feature cannot be
measured reliably.
In the cases described in paragraph 29(b) and (c), an entity shall disclose
information to help users of the financial statements make their own judgements
about the extent of possible differences between the carrying amount of those
financial assets or financial liabilities and their fair value, including:
(a)
the fact that fair value information has not been disclosed for these
instruments because their fair value cannot be measured reliably;
(b)
a description of the financial instruments, their carrying amount, and an

explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably;
(c)
information about the market for the instruments;
(d)
information about whether and how the entity intends to dispose of the
financial instruments; and
(e)
if financial instruments whose fair value previously could not be reliably

measured are derecognised, that fact, their carrying amount at the time of
derecognition, and the amount of gain or loss recognised.
Nature and extent of risks arising from financial

instruments
31
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial

statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
instruments to which the entity is exposed at the reporting date.
13
Copyright IASCF
32
The disclosures required by paragraphs 3342 focus on the risks that arise from
financial instruments and how they have been managed. These risks typically
include, but are not limited to, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
Qualitative disclosures
33
For each type of risk arising from financial instruments, an entity shall disclose:
(a)
the exposures to risk and how they arise;
(b)
its objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the
methods used to measure the risk; and
(c)
any changes in (a) or (b) from the previous period.
Quantitative disclosures
34
35
For each type of risk arising from financial instruments, an entity shall disclose:
(a)
summary quantitative data about its exposure to that risk at the reporting
date. This disclosure shall be based on the information provided
internally to key management personnel of the entity (as defined in
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures), for example the entitys board of
directors or chief executive officer.
(b)
the disclosures required by paragraphs 3642, to the extent not provided

in (a), unless the risk is not material (see paragraphs 2931 of IAS 1 for a
discussion of materiality).
(c)
concentrations of risk if not apparent from (a) and (b).
If the quantitative data disclosed as at the reporting date are unrepresentative of

an entitys exposure to risk during the period, an entity shall provide further
information that is representative.
Copyright IASCF
14
Credit risk
36
An entity shall disclose by class of financial instrument:

(a)
the amount that best represents its maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date without taking account of any collateral held or other credit
enhancements (eg netting agreements that do not qualify for offset in
accordance with IAS 32);
(b)
in respect of the amount disclosed in (a), a description of collateral held

as security and other credit enhancements;
(c)
information about the credit quality of financial assets that are neither
past due nor impaired; and
(d)
the carrying amount of financial assets that would otherwise be past due
or impaired whose terms have been renegotiated.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

37
An entity shall disclose by class of financial asset:

(a)
an analysis of the age of financial assets that are past due as at the
reporting date but not impaired;
(b)
an analysis of financial assets that are individually determined to be

impaired as at the reporting date, including the factors the entity
considered in determining that they are impaired; and
(c)
for the amounts disclosed in (a) and (b), a description of collateral held by
the entity as security and other credit enhancements and, unless
impracticable, an estimate of their fair value.
Collateral and other credit enhancements obtained

38
When an entity obtains financial or non-financial assets during the period by

taking possession of collateral it holds as security or calling on other credit
15
Copyright IASCF
enhancements (eg guarantees), and such assets meet the recognition criteria in
other Standards, an entity shall disclose:
(a)
the nature and carrying amount of the assets obtained; and
(b)
when the assets are not readily convertible into cash, its policies for
disposing of such assets or for using them in its operations.
Liquidity risk
39

(a)
a maturity analysis for financial liabilities that shows the remaining

contractual maturities; and
(b)
a description of how it manages the liquidity risk inherent in (a).
Market risk
Sensitivity analysis
40
41
Unless an entity complies with paragraph 41, it shall disclose:

(a)
a sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk to which the entity is
exposed at the reporting date, showing how profit or loss and equity
would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that
were reasonably possible at that date;
(b)
the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis;

and
(c)
changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used,
and the reasons for such changes.
If an entity prepares a sensitivity analysis, such as value-at-risk, that reflects

interdependencies between risk variables (eg interest rates and exchange rates)
and uses it to manage financial risks, it may use that sensitivity analysis in place
of the analysis specified in paragraph 40. The entity shall also disclose:
Copyright IASCF
16
(a)
an explanation of the method used in preparing such a sensitivity analysis,

and of the main parameters and assumptions underlying the data
provided; and
(b)
an explanation of the objective of the method used and of limitations that

may result in the information not fully reflecting the fair value of the
assets and liabilities involved.
Other market risk disclosures

42
When the sensitivity analyses disclosed in accordance with paragraph 40 or 41

are unrepresentative of a risk inherent in a financial instrument (for example
because the year-end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the year), the
entity shall disclose that fact and the reason it believes the sensitivity analyses
are unrepresentative.
Effective date and transition

43
An entity shall apply this IFRS for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2007. Earlier application is encouraged. If an entity applies this
IFRS for an earlier period, it shall disclose that fact.
44
If an entity applies this IFRS for annual periods beginning before 1 January
2006, it need not present comparative information for the disclosures required by
paragraphs 3142 about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
instruments.

Appendix B
Application guidance
This appendix is an integral part of the IFRS.
Classes of financial instruments and level of

disclosure (paragraph 6)
B1
Paragraph 6 requires an entity to group financial instruments into classes that are
appropriate to the nature of the information disclosed and that take into account
the characteristics of those financial instruments. The classes described in
paragraph 6 are determined by the entity and are, thus, distinct from the
categories of financial instruments specified in IAS 39 (which determine how
financial instruments are measured and where changes in fair value are
recognised).
B2
In determining classes of financial instrument, an entity shall, at a minimum:
B3
(a)
distinguish instruments measured at amortised cost from those measured

at fair value.
(b)
treat as a separate class or classes those financial instruments outside the

scope of this IFRS.
An entity decides, in the light of its circumstances, how much detail it provides
to satisfy the requirements of this IFRS, how much emphasis it places on
different aspects of the requirements and how it aggregates information to
display the overall picture without combining information with different
characteristics. It is necessary to strike a balance between overburdening
financial statements with excessive detail that may not assist users of financial
statements and obscuring important information as a result of too much
aggregation. For example, an entity shall not obscure important information by
including it among a large amount of insignificant detail. Similarly, an entity
shall not disclose information that is so aggregated that it obscures important
differences between individual transactions or associated risks.

Significance of financial instruments for financial

position and performance
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss (paragraphs 10 and 11)
B4
If an entity designates a financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss,

paragraph 10(a) requires it to disclose the amount of change in the fair value of
the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the liabilitys credit risk.
Paragraph 10(a)(i) permits an entity to determine this amount as the amount of
change in the liabilitys fair value that is not attributable to changes in market
conditions that give rise to market risk. If the only relevant changes in market
conditions for a liability are changes in an observed (benchmark) interest rate,
this amount can be estimated as follows:
(a)
First, the entity computes the liabilitys internal rate of return at the start
of the period using the observed market price of the liability and the
liabilitys contractual cash flows at the start of the period. It deducts from
this rate of return the observed (benchmark) interest rate at the start of the
period, to arrive at an instrument-specific component of the internal rate
of return.
(b)
Next, the entity calculates the present value of the cash flows associated
with the liability using the liabilitys contractual cash flows at the end of
the period and a discount rate equal to the sum of (i) the observed
(benchmark) interest rate at the end of the period and (ii) the instrumentspecific component of the internal rate of return as determined in (a).
(c)
The difference between the observed market price of the liability at the
end of the period and the amount determined in (b) is the change in fair
value that is not attributable to changes in the observed (benchmark)
interest rate. This is the amount to be disclosed.
This example assumes that changes in fair value arising from factors other than
changes in the instruments credit risk or changes in interest rates are not
significant. If the instrument in the example contains an embedded derivative,
the change in fair value of the embedded derivative is excluded in determining
the amount to be disclosed in accordance with paragraph 10(a).

Other disclosure accounting policies

(paragraph 21)
B5
Paragraph 21 requires disclosure of the measurement basis (or bases) used in

preparing the financial statements and the other accounting policies used that are
relevant to an understanding of the financial statements. For financial
instruments, such disclosure may include:
(a)
for financial assets or financial liabilities designated as at fair value

through profit or loss:
(i)
the nature of the financial assets or financial liabilities the entity has
designated as at fair value through profit or loss;
(ii)
the criteria for so designating such financial assets or financial

liabilities on initial recognition; and
(iii) how the entity has satisfied the conditions in paragraph 9, 11A or 12
of IAS 39 for such designation. For instruments designated in
accordance with paragraph (b)(i) of the definition of a financial
asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss in
IAS 39, that disclosure includes a narrative description of the
circumstances underlying the measurement or recognition
inconsistency that would otherwise arise.
For instruments
designated in accordance with paragraph (b)(ii) of the definition of
a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or
loss in IAS 39, that disclosure includes a narrative description of
how designation at fair value through profit or loss is consistent
with the entitys documented risk management or investment
strategy.
(b)
the criteria for designating financial assets as available for sale.
(c)
whether regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted
for at trade date or at settlement date (see paragraph 38 of IAS 39).
Copyright IASCF
22
(d)
when an allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of

financial assets impaired by credit losses:
(i)
the criteria for determining when the carrying amount of impaired

financial assets is reduced directly (or, in the case of a reversal of a
write-down, increased directly) and when the allowance account is
used; and
(ii)
the criteria for writing off amounts charged to the allowance

account against the carrying amount of impaired financial assets
(see paragraph 16).
(e)
how net gains or net losses on each category of financial instrument are
determined (see paragraph 20(a)), for example, whether the net gains or
net losses on items at fair value through profit or loss include interest or
dividend income.
(f)
the criteria the entity uses to determine that there is objective evidence
that an impairment loss has occurred (see paragraph 20(e)).
(g)
when the terms of financial assets that would otherwise be past due or
impaired have been renegotiated, the accounting policy for financial
assets that are the subject of renegotiated terms (see paragraph 36(d)).
Paragraph 113 of IAS 1 also requires entities to disclose, in the summary of

significant accounting policies or other notes, the judgements, apart from those
involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the
entitys accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Nature and extent of risks arising from financial

instruments (paragraphs 3142)
B6
The disclosures required by paragraphs 3142 shall be either given in the

financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference from the financial
statements to some other statement, such as a management commentary or risk
report, that is available to users of the financial statements on the same terms as
the financial statements and at the same time. Without the information
incorporated by cross-reference, the financial statements are incomplete.

Quantitative disclosures (paragraph 34)

B7
Paragraph 34(a) requires disclosures of summary quantitative data about an

entitys exposure to risks based on the information provided internally to key
management personnel of the entity. When an entity uses several methods to
manage a risk exposure, the entity shall disclose information using the method
or methods that provide the most relevant and reliable information. IAS 8
Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors discusses
relevance and reliability.
B8
Paragraph 34(c) requires disclosures about concentrations of risk.

Concentrations of risk arise from financial instruments that have similar
characteristics and are affected similarly by changes in economic or other
conditions. The identification of concentrations of risk requires judgement
taking into account the circumstances of the entity. Disclosure of concentrations
of risk shall include:
(a)
a description of how management determines concentrations;
(b)
a description of the shared characteristic that identifies each concentration

(eg counterparty, geographical area, currency or market); and
(c)
the amount of the risk exposure associated with all financial instruments
sharing that characteristic.
Maximum credit risk exposure (paragraph 36(a))

B9
Paragraph 36(a) requires disclosure of the amount that best represents the
entitys maximum exposure to credit risk. For a financial asset, this is typically
the gross carrying amount, net of:
(a)
any amounts offset in accordance with IAS 32; and
(b)
any impairment losses recognised in accordance with IAS 39.
Copyright IASCF
24
B10
Activities that give rise to credit risk and the associated maximum exposure to
credit risk include, but are not limited to:
(a)
granting loans and receivables to customers and placing deposits with

other entities. In these cases, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the
carrying amount of the related financial assets.
(b)
entering into derivative contracts, eg foreign exchange contracts, interest

rate swaps and credit derivatives. When the resulting asset is measured at
fair value, the maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date will
equal the carrying amount.
(c)
granting financial guarantees. In this case, the maximum exposure to

credit risk is the maximum amount the entity could have to pay if the
guarantee is called on, which may be significantly greater than the
amount recognised as a liability.
(d)
making a loan commitment that is irrevocable over the life of the facility
or is revocable only in response to a material adverse change. If the
issuer cannot settle the loan commitment net in cash or another financial
instrument, the maximum credit exposure is the full amount of the
commitment. This is because it is uncertain whether the amount of any
undrawn portion may be drawn upon in the future. This may be
significantly greater than the amount recognised as a liability.
Contractual maturity analysis (paragraph 39(a))

B11
In preparing the contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities required by

paragraph 39(a), an entity uses its judgement to determine an appropriate
number of time bands. For example, an entity might determine that the
following time bands are appropriate:
(a)
not later than one month;
(b)
later than one month and not later than three months;
(c)
later than three months and not later than one year; and
(d)
later than one year and not later than five years.
25
Copyright IASCF
B12
When a counterparty has a choice of when an amount is paid, the liability is

included on the basis of the earliest date on which the entity can be required to
pay. For example, financial liabilities that an entity can be required to repay on
demand (eg demand deposits) are included in the earliest time band.
B13
When an entity is committed to make amounts available in instalments, each

instalment is allocated to the earliest period in which the entity can be required
to pay. For example, an undrawn loan commitment is included in the time band
containing the earliest date it can be drawn down.
B14
The amounts disclosed in the maturity analysis are the contractual undiscounted
cash flows, for example:
(a)
gross finance lease obligations (before deducting finance charges);
(b)
prices specified in forward agreements to purchase financial assets for

cash;
(c)
net amounts for pay-floating/receive-fixed interest rate swaps for which

net cash flows are exchanged;
(d)
contractual amounts to be exchanged in a derivative financial instrument

(eg a currency swap) for which gross cash flows are exchanged; and
(e)
gross loan commitments.
Such undiscounted cash flows differ from the amount included in the balance
sheet because the balance sheet amount is based on discounted cash flows.
B15
If appropriate, an entity shall disclose the analysis of derivative financial

instruments separately from that of non-derivative financial instruments in the
contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities required by paragraph 39(a).
For example, it would be appropriate to distinguish cash flows from derivative
financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments if the cash flows
arising from the derivative financial instruments are settled gross. This is
because the gross cash outflow may be accompanied by a related inflow.
B16
When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by
reference to the conditions existing at the reporting date. For example, when the
amount payable varies with changes in an index, the amount disclosed may be
based on the level of the index at the reporting date.

Market risk sensitivity analysis

(paragraphs 40 and 41)
B17
Paragraph 40(a) requires a sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk to
which the entity is exposed. In accordance with paragraph B3, an entity decides
how it aggregates information to display the overall picture without combining
information with different characteristics about exposures to risks from
significantly different economic environments. For example:
(a)
an entity that trades financial instruments might disclose this information

separately for financial instruments held for trading and those not held for
trading.
(b)
an entity would not aggregate its exposure to market risks from areas of
hyperinflation with its exposure to the same market risks from areas of
very low inflation.
If an entity has exposure to only one type of market risk in only one economic
environment, it would not show disaggregated information.
B18
Paragraph 40(a) requires the sensitivity analysis to show the effect on profit or
loss and equity of reasonably possible changes in the relevant risk variable (eg
prevailing market interest rates, currency rates, equity prices or commodity
prices). For this purpose:
(a)
entities are not required to determine what the profit or loss for the period
would have been if relevant risk variables had been different. Instead,
entities disclose the effect on profit or loss and equity at the balance sheet
date assuming that a reasonably possible change in the relevant risk
variable had occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to
the risk exposures in existence at that date. For example, if an entity has a
floating rate liability at the end of the year, the entity would disclose the
effect on profit or loss (ie interest expense) for the current year if interest
rates had varied by reasonably possible amounts.
(b)
entities are not required to disclose the effect on profit or loss and equity
for each change within a range of reasonably possible changes of the
relevant risk variable. Disclosure of the effects of the changes at the
limits of the reasonably possible range would be sufficient.
27
Copyright IASCF
B19
In determining what a reasonably possible change in the relevant risk variable is,
an entity should consider:
(a)
the economic environments in which it operates. A reasonably possible

change should not include remote or worst case scenarios or stress
tests. Moreover, if the rate of change in the underlying risk variable is
stable, the entity need not alter the chosen reasonably possible change in
the risk variable. For example, assume that interest rates are 5 per cent
and an entity determines that a fluctuation in interest rates of 50 basis
points is reasonably possible. It would disclose the effect on profit or loss
and equity if interest rates were to change to 4.5 per cent or 5.5 per cent.
In the next period, interest rates have increased to 5.5 per cent. The entity
continues to believe that interest rates may fluctuate by 50 basis points
(ie that the rate of change in interest rates is stable). The entity would
disclose the effect on profit or loss and equity if interest rates were to
change to 5 per cent or 6 per cent. The entity would not be required to
revise its assessment that interest rates might reasonably fluctuate by 50
basis points, unless there is evidence that interest rates have become
significantly more volatile.
(b)
the time frame over which it is making the assessment. The sensitivity
analysis shall show the effects of changes that are considered to be
reasonably possible over the period until the entity will next present these
disclosures, which is usually its next annual reporting period.
B20
Paragraph 41 permits an entity to use a sensitivity analysis that reflects

interdependencies between risk variables, such as a value-at-risk methodology,
if it uses this analysis to manage its exposure to financial risks. This applies
even if such a methodology measures only the potential for loss and does not
measure the potential for gain. Such an entity might comply with paragraph
41(a) by disclosing the type of value-at-risk model used (eg whether the model
relies on Monte Carlo simulations), an explanation about how the model works
and the main assumptions (eg the holding period and confidence level). Entities
might also disclose the historical observation period and weightings applied to
observations within that period, an explanation of how options are dealt with in
the calculations, and which volatilities and correlations (or, alternatively, Monte
Carlo probability distribution simulations) are used.
B21
An entity shall provide sensitivity analyses for the whole of its business, but may
provide different types of sensitivity analysis for different classes of financial
instruments.

Interest rate risk

B22
Interest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments recognised in

the balance sheet (eg loans and receivables and debt instruments issued) and on
some financial instruments not recognised in the balance sheet (eg some loan
commitments).
Currency risk
B23
Currency risk (or foreign exchange risk) arises on financial instruments that are
denominated in a foreign currency, ie in a currency other than the functional
currency in which they are measured. For the purpose of this IFRS, currency
risk does not arise from financial instruments that are non-monetary items or
from financial instruments denominated in the functional currency.
B24
A sensitivity analysis is disclosed for each currency to which an entity has

significant exposure.
Other price risk

B25
Other price risk arises on financial instruments because of changes in, for
example, commodity prices or equity prices. To comply with paragraph 40, an
entity might disclose the effect of a decrease in a specified stock market index,
commodity price, or other risk variable. For example, if an entity gives residual
value guarantees that are financial instruments, the entity discloses an increase
or decrease in the value of the assets to which the guarantee applies.
B26
Two examples of financial instruments that give rise to equity price risk are a
holding of equities in another entity, and an investment in a trust, which in turn
holds investments in equity instruments. Other examples include forward
contracts and options to buy or sell specified quantities of an equity instrument
and swaps that are indexed to equity prices. The fair values of such financial
instruments are affected by changes in the market price of the underlying equity
instruments.
B27
In accordance with paragraph 40(a), the sensitivity of profit or loss (that arises,
for example, from instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss
and impairments of available-for-sale financial assets) is disclosed separately
29
Copyright IASCF
from the sensitivity of equity (that arises, for example, from instruments
classified as available for sale).
B28
Financial instruments that an entity classifies as equity instruments are not

remeasured. Neither profit or loss nor equity will be affected by the equity price
risk of those instruments. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is required.

estimated timing of the net cash outflows resulting from
recognised insurance liabilities instead. This may take the
form of an analysis, by estimated timing, of the amounts
recognised in the balance sheet.

(a)
a sensitivity analysis that shows how profit or loss and equity would
have been affected had changes in the relevant risk variable that
were reasonably possible at the balance sheet date occurred; the
methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis;
and any changes from the previous period in the methods and
assumptions used. However, if an insurer uses an alternative
method to manage sensitivity to market conditions, such as an
embedded value analysis, it may meet this requirement by
disclosing that alternative sensitivity analysis and the disclosures
required by paragraph 41 of IFRS 7.
