Abstract

research contract supported by ANC related to the distinction between equity and debt. In line with the IASB project on Financial Instruments with Characteristics of equity (FICE), we undertake a comprehensive study of the legal, fiscal and accounting framework applied to hybrid securities among five representative countries: Australia, Canada, USA, France, United Kingdom. Having explained their domestic legal and tax qualifications, we compare the methods of their accounting classification and their valuation used. We conclude that the US GAAP offers the more detailed scheme for accounting hybrid securities. We thus recommend to the IASB for its FICE project the implementation of a mezzanine category in order to classify compound hybrid securities.
