The share price of Edge Hill has risen considerably over the year and the fair value of the shares at the reporting date is £9 million. Edge Hill is listed on a stock exchange, and so Bradford Ltd can sell the shares quickly if it experiences short-term cash flow shortages. The finance director has included this investment at £9 million as part of ‘cash and cash equivalents’ in the statement of cash flows. Discuss this accounting treatment in accordance with IAS 7.
