ASSIGNMENT 2 (WEIGHTING 15%, WORD LIMIT:2000)
The IASB took a comprehensive review
References: to be made to published journals. ASSIGNMENT 2 (WEIGHTING 15%, WORD LIMIT:2000) The IASB took a comprehensive review of financial instruments accounting and has replaced( issued) a new financial instruments standard referred to as IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRSAASB 9 was issued to replace AASB 139 as it applies to financial assets and is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 although early adoption may occur. Discuss critically the shortcomings and criticisms of IASAASB 139 which have given rise to IFRSAASB 9. Your discussion should be illustrated and informed by reference to two listed companies(ASX or other sources for the most recent years) who are using IASAASB 139. Your discussion should include references to how the future application of IFRSAASB 9 will impact on the accounting for financial instruments in financial reports. The discussion should also consider the views of a range of researchers and accounting users and be appropriately referenced from authoritative sources.
