FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />

The following example illustrates the application of the trade date <strong>and</strong> settlement date<br />

accounting principles in the St<strong>and</strong>ard for a purchase of a financial asset. On December<br />

29, 20X1, an entity commits itself to purchase a financial asset for CU1,000, which is its<br />

fair value on commitment (trade) date. Transaction costs are immaterial. On December<br />

31, 20X1 (financial year-end) <strong>and</strong> on January 4, 20X2 (settlement date) the fair value of<br />

the asset is CU1,002 <strong>and</strong> CU1,003, respectively. The amounts to be recorded for the asset<br />

will depend on how it is classified <strong>and</strong> whether trade date or settlement date accounting is<br />

used, as shown in the two tables below.<br />
