implemented planning, budgeting and forecasting processes to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company ensures that there is access to sufficient funds to meet its short-term business, operating and financing requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company expects its capital resources and projected future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to support its normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. Refer to the liquidity risk section of Note 24 for further discussion of the availability of funds to the Company.
The Company is not subject to material externally imposed capital requirements and is in compliance with all its covenants under its Credit Facility (refer to Note 15) as at December 31, 2023.
24. Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable (excluding sales taxes and prepaid expenses), investments and loans receivable, amounts payable and other liabilities, lease obligations and debt.
The Company applies all of the requirements of IFRS 9 to its financial instruments. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. IFRS 9 introduced a single expected credit loss impairment model, which is based on changes in debt or credit quality since initial recognition.
IFRS 9 applies an expected credit loss model to evaluate financial assets for impairment. The Company’s financial assets that are subject to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable (excluding sales taxes and prepaid expenses) and loans receivable. The amounts receivable (excluding sales taxes and prepaid expenses) are carried at amortized cost and had a carrying value of $18.8 million as at December 31, 2023 (2022: $8.0 million) with loans receivable at a carrying value of $21.5 million (2022: $11.1 million).
The expected credit loss for the loans receivable is measured based on the general approach. On December 31, 2023, Triple Flag recorded a provision for expected credit loss against its loans receivable of $9.7 million. The expected credit loss was estimated as the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to Triple Flag and the cash flows that management expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows that management expects to receive are based on the expected ability of the counterparties to repay the amounts owed, which is dependent on a variety of factors including, among others, production results, operating costs, commodity prices and capital requirements. Triple Flag considered both quantitative and qualitative factors as part of this assessment.
The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 for amounts receivable, which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. Considering the current turnover and credit risk associated with the amounts receivable (excluding sales taxes and prepaid expenses), the application of the expected credit loss model did not have a significant impact, because the Company determined that the expected credit losses on these financial assets were nominal.
To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Refer to Note 11 for additional details on investments that are measured at fair value.
The carrying value of amounts receivable (excluding sales taxes and prepaid expenses), cash and cash equivalents, investments, loans receivable, amounts payable and other liabilities, and debt approximates their fair value. Financial assets and financial liabilities as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:
