The amendment to Ind AS 7 introduces an additional disclosure that will enable users offinancial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. Thisincludes changes arising from cash flows (e.g. draw downs and repayments of borrowings) andnon-cash changes (i.e. changes in fair values), Changes resulting from acquisitions anddisposals and effect of foreign exchange differences. Changes in financial assets must beincluded in this disclosure if the cash flows were, or will be, included in cash flows fromfinancing activities. This could be the case, for example, for assets that hedge liabilities arisingfrom financing liabilities. The Company has currently assessed the potential impact of thisamendment.
