ISDA Responds to EFRAG on Prepayment Options with Negative Compensation

ISDA has responded to the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group’s (EFRAG) invitation to comment on the EFRAG’s Assessment on Prepayment Options with Negative Compensation, and requests EFRAG to urgently support the EU endorsement of the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) IFRS 9 amendments. The objective of the amendment is to address the classification of particular financial assets with prepayment options when applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

This is referred to as negative compensation.
