Financial instruments under IFRS

Updated publication: Financial instruments under IFRS: Revised IAS 32 and IAS 39 and IFRS 7, a guide through the maze

This publication provides a summary of revised IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, and revised IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in December 2003. It has been updated (in September 2006) to include the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, issued by the IASB in August 2005 and other amendments made to the revised standards.

It covers:

  • Scope of the requirements
  • Debt/equity classification
  • Initial recognition and classification of financial assets and liabilities
  • Derecognition
  • Subsequent measurement, fair values and impairment, and
  • Hedge accounting.

The main chapters provide an 'at a glance' summary of the key issues for the topic. They also contain a summary of the respective transition rules for both existing IFRS preparers and first-time adopters.


Hard copies of our publications can be obtained from your local PricewaterhouseCoopers office, or by ordering online.
