Division 105
United Kingdom
When this Standard is first applied, an entity is permitted to designate a previously recognised financial asset as available for sale. For any such financial asset the entity shall recognise all cumulative changes in fair value in a separate component of equity until subsequent derecognition or impairment, when the entity shall transfer that cumulative gain or loss to profit or loss. The entity shall also:
- (a)
restate the financial asset using the new designation in the comparative financial statements; and
- (b)
disclose the fair value of the financial assets at the date of designation and their classification and carrying amount in the previous financial statements.
