Can any one let us know if there are any model notes for financial statements for disclosures as per IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments Disclosures” in the financial statements as per IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”?

Henk can you re-explain the whole story again i.e.
 
1. You mention we still have to use IAS until IFRS is more official, please restate the IAS link
2. Please re-state the IFRS link (is the one you sent for instance re FRS 38 in the other E-Mail)
3. Finally please send a link for the US GAAP/FASB, I want to have my library as opposed to relying on the PDF documents which outline differences between US GAAP, IFRS and local GAAP

My name is Aashima Tandon. Can anybody tell me what exactly is asset held for sale and negative goodwill? What

Hi there,

be recovered principally through a sale transaction
rather than through continuing use.
What would be its treatment?

I understand you might not have any debt or financial assets, but as trading company
you must have some trade receivables (trade debtors). The credit losses (bad debts) recognition/reconciliation is the something you need to disclosue under IFRS7.
In addition you need to have disclousures about accounting policies dealing with financial instruments.
