The requirements are set out in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as issued by the IASB at 1 January 2013 with an effective date after 1 January 2013 but not the IFRSs they will replace.

Framework-based approach for applying IFRS

• What are the economics of the phenomenon (eg
transaction or event)?
• What information about the phenomenon is
relevant for informing resource allocation
decisions by existing and potential investors and
lenders who cannot require information directly
and that can be faithfully represented etc?
• Then consider IFRS requirements
• Make judgements to develop accounting policy
• Make judgements and estimates to apply the
requirements with rigour and consistency

• Forward contract is an agreement to buy/sell an asset at a fixed price on a particular date.
• Some reasons for forward contracts
• hedge economic risks (eg price fluctuations)
• speculation
• to secure future access to a scare resource
Forward contracts
©IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
6
• Pricing forward contracts (rational pricing theory)
• for non-perishable commodities, securities and currencies arbitrage opportunities cause the relationship between forward and spot prices to depend mainly on interest rates (the time value of money) and counterparty credit risk
• other cash flows must be adjusted for in pricing, eg dividends and storage costs
Economics—forward contracts
©IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org

• Assume that today:
• spot price of gold = $1,000 per ounce
• risk free interest rate = 10%
• holding costs = nil
• no counterparty credit risk and no margin
• Forward rate 12 months = $1,100 per ounce
Economics—rational pricing theory
©IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
8
• ‘Proof’: if forward rate was higher (say $1,200) then
• an arbitrager would borrow $1,000 to buy an ounce of gold and immediately enter into a 12 month forward contact to sell that gold for $1,200. Result: arbitrage profit = $100 ($1,200 income less $1,000 cost of gold sold less $100 finance cost)
• put another way, rather than using a forward to hedge the risk that gold price will rise, today borrow $1,000 from bank to buy today the gold needed in 12 months time at $1,000 and pay $100 interest on the loan (ie total cash flow $1,100).
Economics—rational pricing theory

• Which elements, if any, arise from a fixed price forward contract (eg for purchase of gold):
• gross (asset and liability) accounting for the rights and obligations that arise from the contract; or
• net (asset or liability) accounting for the contract?
Conceptual Framework, elements

10
• Executory contract = contract under which neither party has performed any of its obligations or both parties have partially performed their obligations to an equal extent (IAS 37.3)
• Onerous contract = a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
• unavoidable costs = the lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it.
(IAS 37.68)
Executory contracts

• 1/1/20X1 a paper manufacturer enters into a contract to buy 1,000 tonnes of pine wood chips for A$100 per tonne on 31/12/20X3.
• On 31/12/20X1, an identical contract with a two-year time frame would be priced at A$40 per tonne.
Example 1―forward purchase contract
©IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
12
• Scenario 1: must settle net in cash.
• Scenario 2: must settle by physical delivery in accordance with the entity’s expected purchase requirements (ie gross settlement).
• Scenario 3: can be settled net in cash or by physical delivery (ie gross settlement).
• Scenario 4: same as 1 but entered into forward contract to hedge the cash flow exposures of commodity price risk of highly probable forecast purchase of pine wood chips.
Example 1―forward contract continued
13 Ex 1 Scenario 1―settled net in cash
Chipem is contracted to buy at A$100 in 2 years
If contracted today, would buy at A$40 in 2 years
Which IFRS specifies accounting?
Choose 1 of: (a) a derivative—IAS 39 or, if adopted
early, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
(b) IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets irrespective of whether the contract is
onerous; (c) IAS 37, only if the contract is onerous;
(d) another IFRS; or
(e) no specific IFRS therefore apply the IAS 8 hierarchy.

Significant judgement—is the forward purchase contract onerous?
• Onerous contract = a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
• unavoidable costs = the lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it.
Ex 1 Scenario 2―physical delivery, normal usage requirements continued

16
• Objective IAS 8 hierarchy = information relevant to resource allocation decisions by existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors who cannot require information directly and that can be faithfully represented etc.
• Process • 1st try to analogise to requirements in IFRS
dealing with similar and related issues; and
• 2nd definitions, recognition criteria and measurement ‘concepts’ in Framework
• may also use most recent pronouncements of others with similar conceptual framework, other accounting literature and accepted industry practices, to the extent that these do not conflict with the sources in 1 and 2 above.

policy that results in relevant, faithfully represented
etc information…
Choose 1 of: (a) must use derivative accounting by
analogy to IAS 39 or IFRS 9;
(b) despite scope exclusion can choose to use derivative

scope exclusions in IAS 39 and IFRS 9.

other creditors that cannot require Chipem to provide
information directly to them.

Ex 1 Scenario 2―physical delivery, normal usage requirements continued
Which method of accounting for forward contracts
that are not onerous provides the most relevant
information to primary users? Choose 1 of: (a) derivative accounting (as set out in IAS39
and IFRS 9); (b) not to account for the forward contract—
observed common practice; (c) historical cost accounting
for the asset (right to receive chips) and the liability
(present obligation to pay for the chips) that arises from the
contract; (d) same as (c) but present net (ie at nil), see
IAS1.32 re offsetting; (e) same as (c) except fair value
accounting; or (f) other accounting.

Chipem’s expected purchase or usage requirements—in
which case; if onerous, IAS 37; if not onerous, the IAS 8
hierarchy; (c) another IFRS; or (d) no specific IFRS
therefore apply the IAS 8 hierarchy.

• IAS 41 requires growing timber to be measured at fair value less costs to sell without reference to forward sale contract, ie the increased market price is reflected in the fair value of the trees (see IAS 41.16)
• Does being contracted to sell that timber at a lower fixed price (A$100) make that contact onerous on 31/12/20X5? If so,
• at 31/12/X5 measure provision liability using IAS 37 (say A$50,000, ie ‘best estimate’)
• recognise change in provision in 20X5 as expense/income (see IAS 37)

What if at 31/12/20X5 forward price 4 years =

sawn log inventory at net realisable value in
accordance with well-established industry
practice?
