Amendments to PFRS 9 and PFRS 7, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
  • Clarifies that a financial liability is derecognized on the ‘settlement date’, for example, when the related obligation is discharged, cancelled, expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. It also introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before settlement date if certain conditions are met.
  • Clarifies how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features.
  • Clarifies the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments.
  • Requires additional disclosures in PFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.
  • Early adoption is permitted for amendments that relate to the classification of financial assets plus the related disclosures and apply the other amendments later.
Amendments to PFRS 9 and PFRS 7, Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity
  • Updates the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-scope contracts. The sale of unused nature-dependent electricity will be in accordance with an entity’s purchase or usage requirements, if specified criteria are met. The amendments relating to this must be applied retrospectively without the requirement of restated prior periods.
  • ➢ Amends the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts. The amendments will allow an entity to designate a variable nominal volume of forecast electricity transactions as a hedged item, if specified criteria are met. The amendments relating to this must be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated on or after the date of initial application.
  • Added new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows. PFRS 7 has been amended to require specific disclosures relating to contracts that have been excluded from the scope of PFRS 9 as a result of the amendments.
Annual Improvements to PFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 (Retained)
  • The amendments are limited to changes that either clarify the wording in an Accounting Standard or correct relatively minor unintended consequences, oversight or conflicts between the requirements in the Accounting Standards. The following is the summary of the Standards involved and their related amendments.
    • Amendments to PFRS 1, Hedge Accounting by a First-time Adopter
      The amendments included in paragraphs B5 and B6 of PFRS 1 cross references to the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting in paragraph 6.4.1(a), (b) and (c) of PFRS 9. These are intended to address potential confusion arising from an inconsistency between the wording in PFRS 1 and the requirements for hedge accounting in PFRS 9.
    • Amendments to PFRS 7, Gain or Loss on Derecognition
      The amendments updated the language of paragraph B38 of PFRS 7 on unobservable inputs and included a cross reference to paragraphs 72 and 73 of PFRS 13.
    • Amendments to PFRS 9
      Lessee Derecognition of Lease Liabilities The amendments to paragraph 2.1 of PFRS 9 clarified that when a lessee has determined that a lease liability has been extinguished in accordance with PFRS 9, the lessee is required to apply paragraph 3.3.3 and recognize any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss.
    • Transaction Price The amendments to paragraph 5.1.3 of PFRS 9 replaced the reference to ‘transaction price as defined by PFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ with the amount determined by applying PFRS 15’. The term ‘transaction price’ in relation to PFRS 15 was potentially confusing and so it has been removed. The term was also deleted from Appendix A of PFRS 9.
    • Amendments to PFRS 10, Determination of a ‘De Facto Agent’
      The amendments to paragraph B74 of PFRS 10 clarified that the relationship described in B74 is just one example of various relationships that might exist between the investor and other parties acting as de facto agents of the investor.
    • Amendments to PAS 7, Cost Method
      The amendments to paragraph 37 of PAS 7 replaced the term ‘cost method’ with ‘at cost’, following the prior deletion of the definition of ‘cost method’.

The followng is effective January 1, 2027.
