IFRS 7-Financial Instruments: Disclosure (summary)
Summary of IFRS 7-Financial Instruments: Disclosure
IFRS 7 requires entities to provide disclosures in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate:
- the significance of financial instruments for the entityβs financial position and performance.
- the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the end of the reporting period, and how the entity manages those risks. The qualitative disclosures describe managementβs objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks. The quantitative disclosures provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entityβs key management personnel. Together, these disclosures provide an overview of the entityβs use of financial instruments and the exposures to risks they create.
IFRS 7 applies to all entities, including entities that have few financial instruments (for example, a manufacturer whose only financial instruments are cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) and those that have many financial instruments (for example, a financial institution most of whose assets and liabilities are financial instruments).
