Accounting for Dynamic Risk Management: A Portfolio Revaluation Approach to Macro Hedging (Proposed amendments to IFRS 9) [ED]

Comment period ended on October 17, 2014.

Overview

As part of its comprehensive response to the global financial crisis, the IASB is replacing IAS 39 with an entirely new financial instruments accounting Standard, known as IFRS 9, Financial Instruments.  That project is in the final stages of completion.  However, the IASB decided to treat as a separate project the macro hedging component of these reforms in order to elicit views from a broader range of constituents.  The DP represents the first stage in this project, by seeking public comment on a possible approach to accounting for an entity’s dynamic risk management activities, namely the portfolio revaluation approach (PRA).

Under the PRA: (i) exposures that are risk-managed dynamically would be revalued for changes in the managed risk through profit or loss; (ii) fair value changes arising from risk management instruments that are used to manage this risk (derivatives) would also be recognized in profit or loss; (iii) the success of an entity’s dynamic risk management is captured by the net effect of the above measurements in profit or loss; and (iv) fair valuation of the risk exposures that are dynamically managed is not required.

The PRA also addresses the needs of users by providing a more comprehensive set of disclosures concerning an entity’s dynamic risk management activities.
