Financial asset that will or may be settled in own equity instruments

FFelicia5y ago
As per the definitions of financial asset under IFRS 9, one of them is a contract that will or may be settled in the entity's own equity instruments. I'm quite confused that under what circumstances will an entity have a financial asset that allows itself to receive its own equity instrument?

A bit over the top for this exam. Keep it simple! But, if you are interested, Deloitte have a guide: https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/us/Documents/audit/ASC/Roadmaps/us-aers-a-roadmap-to-accounting-for-contracts-on-an-entitys-own-equity.pdf
