ISDA letter to the IASB on their proposals for limited changes to the classification and measurement requirements for financial instruments under IFRS 9. The proposals form part of a wider project to reform accounting for financial instruments. The IASB published new classification and measurement requirements for financial assets in 2009 and for financial liabilities in 2010. However, in January 2012 the IASB decided to consider limited amendments to reduce ‘key differences’ with the FASB’s tentative classification and measurement model, to achieve increased comparability internationally in the accounting for financial instruments.
