For first paragraph and last sentence
“Instead, an amount equal to the ECL allowance which would arise if the asset were measured at amortised cost is recognised in OCI”What does it mean?

August 11, 2020 at 4:51 pm #580141If some of the loss in value is because the debt is potentially bad that amount should be recognised in profit and loss.
So the bond has fallen in value from 6,000,000 to 5,300,000 and of the change in value 400,000 is because of potential bad debt.
So 300,000 will be debited to OCI and 400,000 to P and L
August 12, 2020 at 5:47 am #580194So does it mean that the 400,000 will be recognise in the OCI if the financial asset is measured at amortised cost instead of FVTOCI based on the last sentence of the paragraph quoted above?
August 12, 2020 at 3:27 pm #580281You are making this far too complicated!
The spirit of the standard is that wherever there is a bad debt, then the charge should be reflected in profit and loss as opposed to OCI
