| IASB Exposure Draft on Financial Instruments: Amortised Cost and Impairment - (23-11-2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Exposure Draft on Financial Instruments: Amortised Cost and Impairment, has been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board with the objective to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement with a new standard, to be known as IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. To achieve this, the Board divided its project to replace IAS 39 into three main phases. As the Board completes each phase, it will delete the relevant portions of IAS 39 and, along with its current project on the derecognition of financial instruments, create an IFRS that will eventually replace IAS 39. The Board published an exposure draft on derecognition in March 2009. As part of the first phase of replacing IAS 39 the Board published an exposure draft on classification and measurement in July 2009. Invitation to comments ASB inviting comments on the said Draft from the public.
