Objective (paras. 1-2)
1 The objective of this IFRS is to require entities to provide disclosures in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate:
(a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position and performance; and
(b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the end of the reporting period, and how the entity manages those risks.
2 The principles in this IFRS complement the principles for recognising, measuring and presenting financial assets and financial liabilities in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
