Klassificering och värdering av finansiella instrument
Ett tillförlitlighetsperspektiv
During the financial crisis voices were raised towards the regulatory framework IAS 39 recognition and measurement of financial instruments and pointed out that it was inadequate. The complexity of the framework contributed to the fact that it was difficult to apply. IASB accelerated the modeling of the new to be regulatory framework IFRS 9. In this study we will focus on the reliability of accounting information, which is an important aspect from the stakeholder?s point of view, for example, to be able to make the best decisions the accounting information should be proper. The general purpose of this study is to clarify whether the qualitative characteristic, reliability, is to change when IAS 39 is replaced by IFRS 9. We will base our study on a qualitative content analysis were we have read and analyzed IAS 39 and IFRS 9. After that we lift the parts which we consider of interest to discuss out of a reliability point of view of the two regulations. The analysis of the study culminates in that some positive changes that will occur when the replacement takes place, on the other hand some negative changes that will occur as well. However, after taking in consideration, both the positive and negative aspects of the replacement, we come to the conclusion that there will be no significant difference (with some exceptions) in the reliability of the regulatory frameworks. Key words: IAS 39, IFRS 9, Reliability
