Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in AASB 2010-7 - Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) - December 2010.
20 In Appendix B, paragraph B4 is deleted and paragraphs B1, B5, B10(a), B22 and B27 are amended to read as follows:
B1 Paragraph 6 requires an entity to group financial instruments into classes that are appropriate to the nature of the information disclosed and that take into account the characteristics of those financial instruments. The classes described in paragraph 6 are determined by the entity and are, thus, distinct from the categories of financial instruments specified in AASB 9 (which determine how financial instruments are measured and where changes in fair value are recognised).
B5 Paragraph 21 requires disclosure of the measurement basis (or bases) used in preparing the financial statements and the other accounting policies used that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements. For financial instruments, such disclosure may include:
(a) for financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss:
(i) the nature of the financial liabilities the entity has designated as at fair value through profit or loss;
(ii) the criteria for so designating such financial liabilities on initial recognition; and
(iii) how the entity has satisfied the conditions in paragraph 4.2.2 of AASB 9 for such designation.
(aa) for financial assets designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss:
(i) the nature of the financial assets the entity has designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
(ii) how the entity has satisfied the criteria in paragraph 4.1.5 of AASB 9 for such designation.
(c) whether regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date or at settlement date (see paragraph 3.1.2 of AASB 9).
B10 Activities that give rise to credit risk and the associated maximum exposure to credit risk include, but are not limited to:
(a) granting loans to customers and placing deposits with other entities. In these cases, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the related financial assets;
(b) ...
B22 Interest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position (eg debt instruments acquired or issued) and on some financial instruments not recognised in the statement of financial position (eg some loan commitments).
B27 In accordance with paragraph 40(a), the sensitivity of profit or loss (that arises, for example, from instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss) is disclosed separately from the sensitivity of other comprehensive income (that arises, for example, from investments in equity instruments whose changes in fair value are presented in other comprehensive income).
