4.6 Financial instruments
– Fair values and risk management
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of an entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity. The IFRC recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. In the case of a regular
purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition are accounted for using settlement date accounting.
Financial assets
The IFRC’s financial assets are made up of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, contract assets, cash flow
hedges and financial assets associated with the ESSN project (see below).
The IFRC classifies its financial assets at initial recognition under the following categories: (a) financial assets at amortised
cost and (b) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost when these are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash
flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Finance
income using the effective interest rate method. Under IFRS 9, the financial assets that are measured at amortised cost include
transaction costs and are impaired using an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. The ECLs are calculated based on change in
credit risks and measured at an amount equal to the lifetime of the financial assets. This impairment model does not apply to
investments that are classified and measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a financial asset
measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at FVTPL include global bond and equity funds, and cash
flow hedges.
Hedge derivative instruments are used to mitigate foreign exchange risk associated with receiving statutory contribution
payments in foreign currencies. These derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is
entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date.
The IFRC reclassifies its financial assets when, and only when, it changes its business model for managing those financial
assets. The reclassification is applied prospectively from the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the
business model.
The IFRC considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are one year past due. Financial assets are
derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the
IFRC has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
