Objective of the workpaper

For each transaction (one instance per instrument), describe the facts and the standard that applies to the item, compare the transaction price with the fair value given by the technique, compute the initial difference and, where relevant, the calibration adjustment, justify the treatment (no difference, profit or loss, deferral) under the applicable standard, then prepare the entry and its effect on the financial statements. IFRS 13 does not itself say where to recognise the difference: the treatment refers to the standard that applies to the item.

Treatment of the difference

Judgment

IFRS 13 §60

  • Treatment of the initial difference

    JudgmentRequired

    Difference recognised in profit or loss

    No difference to recognise (transaction price = fair value) / Difference recognised in profit or loss / Difference deferred under the applicable standard

    Rule and cross-reference: the difference is recognised in profit or loss unless the standard that applies to the item provides otherwise; any deferral comes from that standard, not from IFRS 13.

  • Rationale: facts relied on, analysis, alternative rejected
