Measurement (paras. 43 - 70) (version for insurers)
This version of IAS 39 does not contain the amendments by IFRS 9 and can therefore be used by those insurers utilising the exemption effected by Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (Amendments to IFRS 4).
See IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as amended by IFRS 9Initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
43Except for trade receivables within the scope of paragraph 44A, when a financial asset or financial liability is recognised initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability.
43A However, if the fair value of the financial asset or financial liability at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, an entity shall apply paragraph AG76.
44 When an entity uses settlement date accounting for an asset that is subsequently measured at cost or amortised cost, the asset is recognised initially at its fair value on the trade date (see Appendix A paragraphs AG53-AG56).
