Reporting of Financial Instruments at Amortised Cost

Question 1

Why is the SPPI test important in the classification of financial assets under IFRS 9?

10:17 ✓✓

A To ensure that only instruments with fixed interest rates are classified at amortised cost.

B To distinguish between debt and equity instruments for regulatory reporting.

C To verify that the instrument’s cash flows represent genuine lending returns, not speculative returns. ✓

D To comply with central bank requirements for liquidity coverage.

10:17 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
The SPPI test ensures cash flows are consistent with basic lending, excluding instruments with equity-like or derivative features. Option A is incorrect — variable rates can pass SPPI; option B confuses with regulatory; option D is unrelated.

Reporting of Financial Instruments at Amortised Cost

Question 2

Under IFRS 9, which two criteria must be met for a debt instrument to be classified at amortised cost?

10:17 ✓✓

A The entity has a history of holding similar instruments to maturity and the return is fixed.

B The business model is to hold the instrument to collect contractual cash flows, and the cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). ✓

C The instrument is not traded on an active market and has low credit risk.

D The entity intends to sell the instrument before maturity if market conditions improve.

10:17 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
IFRS 9 requires both the ‘hold to collect’ business model and SPPI test to be met for amortised cost classification. Option A lacks SPPI; option C uses incorrect criteria like market activity; option D contradicts the hold-to-collect model.

10:17 ✓✓

Global Events Impact

Question 3

War breaks out after the reporting date but before financial statements are authorised. It disrupts exports and devalues foreign currency holdings. What is the correct treatment under IAS 10?

10:17 ✓✓

A Adjust the financial statements as it affects conditions existing at the reporting date.

B Disclose the event as a non-adjusting post-reporting date event with its financial impact. ✓

C No action is required unless the war continues into the next fiscal year.

D Recognise a provision for expected losses in the current period.

10:17 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
IAS 10 classifies such events as non-adjusting—they indicate conditions arising after the reporting period. A is wrong—no retrospective adjustment; C ignores disclosure need; D misapplies IAS 37—no present obligation at year-end.
