SBRIFRS 9 - impairment

Eerdist14y ago
Can someone please explain how to account for the impairment of a financial asset classified as fair value through profit and loss? Ie. in case of a bond do we use the market rate or the original effective rate for the future cash flows for impairment purposes? thx

use the market rate and do not bother about its impairment as any changes will be reported in profit/loss according to ifrst9.effective rate is used for amortise cost and not to determine present value otherwise stated
