Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to NZ IFRS 9 and NZ IFRS 7
In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to NZ IFRS 9 and NZ IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (the Amendments). The Amendments include:
  • Clarifications of the requirements for recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In particular, a financial liability is derecognised on the ‘settlement date’ and an accounting policy choice is introduced (if specific conditions are met) to derecognise financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date.
  • Additional guidance on how the contractual cash flows for financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and similar features should be assessed.
  • Clarifications on what constitute ‘non-recourse features’ and what are the characteristics of contractually linked instruments.
  • The introduction of disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features and additional disclosure requirements for equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI).
Annual Improvements to IFRS accounting Standards – Volume 11
In July 2024, the IASB issued nine narrow scope amendments as part of its periodic maintenance of NZ IFRS accounting standards. The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes to improve consistency in NZ IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, NZ IFRS 7
Financial instruments: Disclosure and its accompanying Guidance on implementing NZ IFRS 7, NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, NZ IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and NZ IAS 7 Statements of Cash Flows.
Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
In December 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to NZ IFRS 9 and NZ IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing Nature dependent Electricity. The amendments apply only to contracts that reference nature-dependent electricity, and they:
  • Clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-scope contracts.
  • Amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts.
  • Add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows.

Known issues

Details and limitations
1
For users wishing to update to 6.29 platform please note there is a known issue where even when elements are displayed as “Never”, the report will still display the element.
2
Please be noted that deleting the original elements (such as paragraphs, tables, and so on) which have been reflected from the parent / root template should be cautious. The same logic applies to here for not changing existing column IDs as below. If the original elements have been deleted, we cannot save it back other than re-implementing it with the backup files. It will also lose any updates that will be made to the elements, i.e. the template will not get upgraded and synced perfectly with the latest draft template update, and also some functions, such as Revert to Template or Compare with Template will not be available neither – this is because once the original element is deleted, their own IDs become different to the draft/ parent template, so they cannot be compared). Therefore, please keep this in mind, especially when customisation needs to be done. Alternatively, if users do not want some part from the original elements, they can create a copy of it and build their customisation from there and display the unwanted original element to be Never, instead of deleting it.

For users' further references, please be noted that when you wish to change the naming of columns in grids, it can be done via Column à Rename feature. However, please do not change their existing IDs, otherwise, you will lose your current data and linking to it.
