In view of the challenges in classifying complex financial instruments that combine some characteristics of both debt – financial liabilities and ordinary shares – equity instruments, ICAI, on 12 December 2023 issued the Exposure Draft (ED) on Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Equity – Proposed amendments to IAS 32, IFRS 7 and IAS 1. The proposals in the ED include:

  • Clarification of the underlying classification principles of IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation to help companies distinguish between financial liabilities and equity
  • Disclosures to further explain complexities around instruments that have both financial liability and equity characteristics, and
  • Presentation requirements for amounts – including profit and total comprehensive income – attributable to ordinary shareholders separately from amounts attributable to other holders of equity instruments.

The ED is open for comments up to 10 February 2024.
