Derecognisation of Financial Assets:

Derecognition of financial liability:

Derecognition is the removal of a previously recognised financial asset from an entity’s statement of financial position. In general, IFRS 9 criteria for derecognition of a financial asset aim to answer the question whether an asset has been effectively ‘sold’ and should be derecognised or whether an entity obtained a kind of financing against this asset and simply an additional financial liability should be recognised.

derecognises a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is when it is extinguished—i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires (IFRS 9.3.3.1).

A financial liability (or part of it) is extinguished when the debtor either (IFRS 9 B3.3.1):

discharges the liability (or part of it) by paying the creditor, normally with cash, other financial assets, goods or services; or
is legally released from primary responsibility for the liability (or part of it) either by process of law or by the creditor.
