ISDA has responded to European Financial Reporting Advisory Group’s (EFRAG) request for comments on the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) proposal to amend IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to enable companies to measure certain pre-payable financial assets with so-called negative compensation options. ISDA’s members have stressed the importance to limit any amendments made to IFRS 9 due to the short timetable available to its implementation and which could potentially have unintended consequences for other financial instruments.
