Should the fixed deposits with maturity of more than 3 months be classified under cash and cash equivalents, if the remaining maturity is below 3 months as of reporting date? As the asset can be liquidated within 3 months of the reporting period, ideally it should be under cash and cash equivalents right?

IAS 7 - Short term deposits under cash and cash equivalents
4y ago#1The standard does not look at a specific length of time. It defines it as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible for cash. If the above meets that definition then it is a cash equivalent.
Thanks
