4. Share Values and Investment Values
C 28/2010 GUIThe circular requires the use of the International Accounting Standard in recognizing losses or a decline in the value of the investment asset.
In particular IAS 39 requires the bank to recognize losses either directly through P&L (Fair value option) or periodically asses the asset for impairment depending on the initial designation of the asset.
If uncertain, please discus with your external auditor the accounting treatment applied to the specific assets.
