Australian Accounting Alert on hedge accounting
25 Jul 2005
Deloitte (Australia) has published (PDF 101k) on Hedge Accounting Using Non-zero Fair Value Derivatives.
The Alert discusses scenarios in which an entity designates an existing derivative into a new hedging relationship. The non-zero fair value of the existing derivative may give rise to unexpected ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship, which may result in the derivative being disqualified from hedge accounting.
