Comparison of the HTM, TS, and AFS Approaches
(Key Points)
Some transactions handled the same for all three approaches:
To record the purchase of an investment.
To record the receipt of investment revenue.
To record the sale of the security.
Fair value changes handled differently
No entry for HTM
For TS and AFS:
o The entries have the same effect on the investment (via the fair

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
Investments
IFRS currently has two standards that apply to these investments:
IAS No. 39, until recently the only standard. It has primary categories that are
similar to U.S. GAAP, consisting of “Fair Value through Profit & Loss”
(“FVTPL,” similar to TS), HTM, and AFS.
IFRS No. 9
o Will be required after January 1, 2018, and earlier adoption is allowed..
o Investments in debt securities are classified either as
amortized cost (accounted for like HTM investments in U.S.
GAAP),
page-pfb
TRANSFERS BETWEEN REPORTING CATEGORIES
When a security is reclassified between two reporting categories, the
security is transferred at its fair value at the date of transfer. Any
unrealized holding gain or loss should be accounted for in a manner
consistent with the classification into which the security is being
transferred.

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENTS
Focused on HTM and AFS investments
If FV < amortized cost, and that decline is deemed to be other-
than-temporary (OTT), the company recognizes an OTT
impairment loss in earnings.
Specifics differ between equity and debt investments.
o For equity investments, the question is whether the
company has the intent and ability to hold the investment

PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE
Trading securities are current assets by definition. Held-to-
maturity and available-for-sale securities are either current or
noncurrent depending on when they are expected to be sold.
Can break out individual amounts for the three categories of
investments HTM, TS, or AFS on the face of the balance
sheet or in the disclosure notes.
Investors should disclose the following in the disclosure notes:
aggregate fair value
gross realized and unrealized holding gains and losses
Information about maturities should be reported for debt
securities, by disclosing the fair value and cost for at least 4

THE EQUITY METHOD
We use the equity method when the investor owns less than
51% of the voting shares, and therefore can’t control the
investee, but can exercise “significant influence over the
operating and financial policies of an investee.
Initially, the investment is recorded at cost. The carrying
amount of this investment subsequently is:
Increased by the investor's percentage share of the investee’s
net income (or decreased by its share of a loss).
Decreased by dividends declared.
When the investor’s expenditure to acquire an investment

Equity Method
Mostly like U.S. GAAP, but there are a few important differences.
1. IFRS No. 28 requires that the accounting policies of investees be adjusted to
2. IFRS does not provide the fair value option for most investments that qualify for

EXAMPLE OF APPYING THE EQUITY METHOD
Assume United is acquiring 30% of Argent, and uses the equity method:
Account
Book value on Arjent’s
financial statements
Fair value at time of
United’s investment
Buildings (10-year
remaining useful life,
no salvage value)

Purchase of Investment:
Recording Investment Revenue: Proportion of investee net
income (view investee as an extension of the investor)
Receiving Dividends: Liquidation of investment
No Fair Value Adjustment!!!
page-pf13
Further Equity Method Adjustments
Need to amortize any difference between fair value of assets and their book
value on the investees books (the “purchase price differential”), if those are
assets that would be expensed eventually if purchased outright.
The idea is for the investor to end up with the same effect on earnings
