IFRS 9 Financial instruments

Hi, Is there any logic or concept behind expensing of transaction cost when using Fair value through P and L and including/excluding it when using fair value through OCI? However, I understood the exclusion/inclusion in case of amortized cost because in this way the transaction costs will be spread throughout the life of asset/liability.

Not much logic. I think I originally conceptualised FVPL as current assets and FVOCI as non-current assets. But that's not always true. :) If I remember the rule was originally from US accounting.

So basically in this particular topic they are following a rules based approach and we simply have to follow the rule?

I'm afraid so! :)
