All changes in those fair values to be recognised immediately in the profit and loss account (P&L); all loans and receivables held as assets and all financial assets that are being held to maturity to be initially recognised at fair value but subsequently measured at cost-based amounts; all other financial assets ('available-for-sale financial assets') to be recognised and measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised immediately in the statement of total recognised gains and losses (STRGL); and all other financial liabilities to be recognised at fair value but subsequently measured at cost-based amount In October 2005 the ASB issued an amendment to FRS 26 which has the effect of implementing in full into FRS 26 the following amendments to IAS 39, by the IASB: transition and initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities; cashflow hedge accounting of forecast intragroup transactions; the fair value option; and financial guarantee contracts and credit insurance.
