1. Financial reporting - financial liabilities - International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) - IFRS 9.

Under IFRS 9 the extinguishment of a financial liability means that the obligation is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Under paragraph 3.3.2 of IFRS 9 the following changes are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability:

(1) An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments

with substantially different terms; or

(2) A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it.


Under paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

This difference may be a modification gain or loss.

Although treasurers may not necessarily be accounting experts, they still need to carefully consider the potential accounting impacts when renegotiating loan terms.
Under IFRS 9: Financial Instruments, loan modifications can trigger gains and losses for financial reporting purposes and may even have tax implications."
