For contracts to buy and sell
securities, if the period between trade date and settlement date is
normal in accordance with the
market rules or practices, the buyer recognises the marketable securities
and the seller derecognises the
marketable securities on the trade date.
However, for each category of
investment (based on the purpose of
possession), it is permitted for the buyer to recognise only the market movement between the trade date
and settlement date, and for the
seller only to recognise the gain or loss on sale at the trade date.
Loans receivable and loans payable
are recognised when the loan is
made, and are derecognised when repayment is made.
