Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income without subsequent recycling to P&L (FV-OCI-NR)

Following stakeholder feedback, the IASB tentatively decided to amend paragraph 11A of IFRS 7 to require disclosure of:

  • the aggregated fair value of equity instruments for which the OCI presentation option is applied at the end of the reporting period;
  • changes in fair value recognised in OCI during the period.

In addition, the IASB asked the staff to explore the possibility of adding, for these instruments, an illustrative example showing changes over the period in fair value recognised directly in OCI.

Business model assessment 

Following stakeholder feedback, the IASB tentatively decided to make no changes to IFRS 9 in this area.

Electronic cash transfers

The IASB tentatively decided to develop an accounting policy choice enabling an entity, subject to certain criteria, to derecognise a financial liability before the settlement date at which it effectively delivers cash.
