INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
AND
ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES
INVESTMENTS
Are assets held by an entity for the accretion of wealth through distribution such as interest, royalties, dividends and
rentals, for capital appreciation or for other benefits to the investing entity such as those obtained through trading
relationships.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
FINANCIAL ASSETS
A financial asset is any asset that is:
a. cash;
b. an equity instrument of another entity;
c. a contractual right:
i. to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or
ii. to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially
favourable to the entity; or
d. a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:
i. a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity’s own
equity instruments; or
ii. a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another
financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments. For this purpose the entity’s own
equity instruments do not include instruments that are themselves contracts for the future receipt or
delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all
of its liabilities.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
A financial liability is any liability that is:
a. a contractual obligation:
i. to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or
ii. to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially
unfavourable to the entity; or
b. a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:
i. a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own
equity instruments; or
ii. a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another
financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments. For this purpose the entity’s own
equity instruments do not include instruments that are themselves contracts for the future receipt or
delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments.
