Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Detailed information about financial instruments

The classifications and methods of measurement subsequent to initial recognition of our financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:

Financial instrument			Classification and measurement method
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents			Amortized cost
Accounts receivable			Amortized cost
Financing receivables			Amortized cost
Investments, measured at FVTOCI			FVTOCI with no reclassification to net income 1
Financial liabilities
Bank advances			Amortized cost
Short-term borrowings			Amortized cost
Accounts payable			Amortized cost
Accrued liabilities			Amortized cost
Long-term debt			Amortized cost
Lease liabilities			Amortized cost
Derivatives 2
Debt derivatives 3			FVTOCI and FVTPL
Bond forwards			FVTOCI
Expenditure derivatives			FVTOCI
Equity derivatives			FVTPL 4

1    Subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in the FVTOCI investment reserve.

2    Derivatives can be in an asset or liability position at a point in time historically or in the future. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized immediately into net income.

3    Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and commercial paper borrowings have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are measured at FVTPL. Debt derivatives related to our senior notes and debentures are designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are measured at FVTOCI.

4    Subsequent changes are offset against stock-based compensation expense or recovery in operating costs.

We use derivative instruments to manage risks related to certain activities in which we are involved. They include:

Derivatives			The risk they manage			Types of derivative instruments
Debt derivatives			Impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on principal and interest payments for US dollar-denominated senior notes and debentures, credit facility borrowings, commercial paper borrowings, and certain lease liabilities			Cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements Forward foreign exchange agreements
Expenditure derivatives			Impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on forecast US dollar-denominated expenditures			Forward foreign exchange agreements and foreign exchange option agreements
Equity derivatives			Impact of fluctuations in share price on stock-based compensation expense			Total return swap agreements

We design and implement the risk management strategies discussed below to ensure our risks and the related exposures are consistent with our business objectives and risk tolerance. Below is a summary of our potential risk exposures by financial instrument.

Financial instrument			Financial risks
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents			Credit and foreign exchange
Accounts receivable			Credit and foreign exchange
Financing receivables			Credit
Investments, measured at FVTOCI			Liquidity, market price, and foreign exchange
Financial liabilities
Bank advances			Liquidity
Short-term borrowings			Liquidity, foreign exchange, and interest rate
Accounts payable			Liquidity
Accrued liabilities			Liquidity
Long-term debt			Liquidity, foreign exchange, and interest rate
Lease liabilities			Liquidity and foreign exchange
Derivatives 1
Debt derivatives			Credit, liquidity, and foreign exchange
Expenditure derivatives			Credit, liquidity, and foreign exchange
Equity derivatives			Credit, liquidity, and market price
