Economic uncertainty and risks
Uncertainty in global and domestic economies with rising interest rates and inflation is expected to continue.
Entities are taking actions to manage their exposures to these risks.
These actions may differ from an entity’s previous expectations regarding how it was going to manage its financial assets. These may have implications on the measurement and classification of financial assets.
ASIC’s 30 June 2023 focus areas for financial reporting feature financial assets classification as one of the areas that may be impacted by the current environment. That is, whether they are appropriately measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit and loss.
