Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets include cash, trade receivables, loans receivable and other financial instruments that meet the relevant conditions.
These assets are initially recognised at transaction price (including transaction costs) unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Subsequently, basic financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence exists, the carrying amount is reduced and the loss is recognised in the income statement.
Basic financial assets are derecognised when the rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are substantially transferred to a third party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities include trade payables, accruals, loans payable and other financial instruments that meet the relevant conditions.
These liabilities are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. In such cases, the liability is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.
Subsequently, basic financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation is discharged, cancelled, or expires.
