💡 Accountant's Note

IFRS 9.5.7.8 specifies that amounts presented in OCI relating to changes in the credit risk of a liability designated at FVTPL are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss. However, the entity may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity (to retained earnings) when the liability is derecognized.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Requires a manual journal entry between equity reserves; most sub-ledgers do not automate the recycling of OCI to RE.

⚠️ Audit Flags
