You must show the journal entry that will be made to adjust the financials statements.

Answer 1

Answer:

You didn´t post the complete information of the exercise, I searched the exercise online and tried to ask the most useful question.

Explanation:

As per IFRS 32, if the entity holds a Financial Instrument as held for maturity, then Financial Instruments shall be treated as Financial Instruments amortised at cost and shall be recognised at cost.

In the present case, the entity decides to reclassify its financial instruments from Instruments held for maturity to financial instruments held for sale within next 90 days

There will be two implications for the same

a) The financial instruments shall be classified as Financial Asset - FVTPL, i.e. Fair value measured through Profit and Loss or FVTOCI, i.e. Fair Value measured through Other Comprehensive Income. In both the cases, financial asset shall be remeasured at Fair value as on the date of reporting period end with the only difference being that in FVTPL, gain/loss on re-measurement should be routed through Profit and Loss A/c where as in FVTOCI, gain/loss on re-measurement should be routed through Other Comprehensive Income.

b) Since, financial instruments shall be sold within next 90 days, Financial Assets shall be reclassified as Current Assets.
