EFFECTIVE DATE
39F Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments to IFRS 7), issued in October 2010, added paragraph E4. An entity shall apply that amendment for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. Earlier application is permitted. If an entity applies the amendment for an earlier period, it shall disclose that fact.
Appendix E Short-term exemptions from IFRSs
Paragraph E4 and a footnote are added.
Disclosures about financial instruments
E4A first-time adopter may apply the transitional provisions in paragraph 44M of IFRS 7(1).
Paragraph E4 was added as a consequence of Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments to IFRS 7) issued in October 2010. To avoid the potential use of hindsight and to ensure that firsttime adopters are not disadvantaged as compared with current IFRS preparers, the Board decided that first-time adopters should be permitted to use the same transition provisions permitted for existing preparers of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs that are included in Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments to IFRS 7).
