What IAS32 covers

IAS 32 deals with the presentation of financial instruments (regardless if the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 39 or IFRS 9 are applied), and includes guidance on the following:

  • the equity/liability split (CFM21220 onwards) with particular reference to:
  • the classification of financial instruments that are in substance liabilities,
  • ‘split accounting’ for compound financial instruments;
  • the classification of derivatives in own shares; and
  • treasury shares (a company’s own shares that it has reacquired).
  • offsetting in the balance sheet of receivables and payables (CFM21300).

Users of FRS 101 will apply IAS 32 and hence the above will apply to such companies. However they will be able to utilise the disclosure exemptions of FRS 101 as well.

Users of Old UK GAAP will apply FRS 25 which is based on IAS 32 and hence the guidance in this section of the CFM will apply to those who use FRS 25.
