Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,7 (A-), Technical University of Braunschweig (Economics - Controlling), course: Intenational Accounting, language: English, abstract: Some years before the financial scandal of Enron, which was mainly caused by the misuse of derivatives, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) began deliberating on issues related to derivatives and hedging transactions.1 The cause of thinking about changes in accounting for derivatives was a problematic situation in 1986 (comparable to current situation in Germany). For example, the applicatory use was very complicated and transactions with derivatives were not transparent enough. There were only clear standards for a few product groups and transactions with derivatives were not reported on the balance sheet.2 In consequence, first in 1986, a work program called Project on Financial Instruments was founded.3 In 1992 the members of the FASB received the responsibility in working on derivatives and continued improving the existing statement for about six years in more than 100 meetings. In June 1998 (06/16/1998) the Statement for Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Instruments” passed as an outcome of these efforts and is valid for every entity.4 Some public voices say, it is one of the most complex and controversial standards ever issued by the FASB.5 Statement No. 133 replaced FASB Statement No. 80 (Accounting for Future Contracts), No. 105 (Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk) and No. 119 (Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments). 6 Also FASB Statement No. 52 (Foreign Currency Translation) and No. 107 (Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments) were amended, by including the “disclosure provisions about concentration of credit risk” form Statement No. 105 in Statement No.107. Despite the fact that the new Statement was issued in June 1998 it only was effective on financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. [...] 1 Cp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The derivative practitioner’s expert guide to IFRS 9 application Accounting for Derivatives explains the likely accounting implications of a proposed transaction on derivatives strategy, in alignment with the IFRS 9 standards. Written by a Big Four advisor, this book shares the author’s insights from working with companies to minimise the earnings volatility impact of hedging with derivatives. This second edition includes new chapters on hedging inflation risk and stock options, with new cases on special hedging situations including hedging components of commodity risk. This new edition also covers the accounting treatment of special derivatives situations, such as raising financing through commodity-linked loans, derivatives on own shares and convertible bonds. Cases are used extensively throughout the book, simulating a specific hedging strategy from its inception to maturity following a common pattern. Coverage includes instruments such as forwards, swaps, cross-currency swaps, and combinations of standard options, plus more complex derivatives like knock-in forwards, KIKO forwards, range accruals, and swaps in arrears. Under IFRS, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting may significantly increase earnings volatility. Compliant application of hedge accounting requires expertise across both the standards and markets, with an appropriate balance between derivatives expertise and accounting knowledge. This book helps bridge the divide, providing comprehensive IFRS coverage from a practical perspective. Become familiar with the most common hedging instruments from an IFRS 9 perspective Examine FX risk and hedging of dividends, earnings, and net assets of foreign subsidies Learn new standards surrounding the hedge of commodities, equity, inflation, and foreign and domestic liabilities Challenge the qualification for hedge accounting as the ultimate objective IFRS 9 is set to replace IAS 39, and many practitioners will need to adjust their accounting policies and hedging strategies to conform to the new standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Financial markets have developed extremely in volume and complexity in the last 20 years. International investments are booming, due to the general relaxation of capital controls and the increasing demand of international diversification by investors. Driven by these developments the use and variety of financial instruments has grown enormously. Risk management strategies that are crucial to business success can no longer be executed without the use of derivative instruments. Accounting standards have not kept pace with the dynamic development of financial markets and instruments. Concerns about proper accounting regulations for financial instruments, especially derivatives, have been sharpened by the publicity surrounding large derivative-instrument losses at several companies. Incidences like the breakdown of the Barings Bank and huge losses by the German Metallgesellschaft have captured the public s attention. One of the standard setters greatest challenges is to develop principles applicable to the full range of financial instruments and implement structures that will adapt to new products that will continue to develop. Considering these aspects, the focus of this paper is to illustrate how financial instruments are accounted for under the regulations of the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39. It refers to the latest version, Revised IAS 39 , which was issued in December 2003 and has to be applied for the annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1. 2005. First, the general regulations of this standard are demonstrated followed by special hedge accounting regulations. An overall conclusion that points out critical issues of IAS 39 is provided at the end of the paper. IAS 39 is highly complex and one of the most criticized International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In many cases, the adoption of IAS 39 will lead to significant changes compared to former accounting regulations applied. Therefore the paper is designed to provide a broad understanding of the standard and to facilitate its implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IAS 39, and in particular, its paragraphs about hedge accounting are among the most complex and challenging accounting standards that have ever been issued. In addition the guidance established by IAS 39 for the practical application of hedge accounting in energy finance is limited. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the different hedging strategies of power companies with the intent of increasing the transparency of the accounting treatment of these entities. There are two different types of hedges in the power industry that are relevant with respect to the hedging of commodity flows: cash flow and fair value hedges. However, the analysis of the existing hedge accounting framework of IAS 39 reveals three major shortcomings and limitations of the current concept. First, members of the power industry and accounting experts question the application of explicit and fixed ranges to assess the hedge effectiveness. Second, it is not feasible to hedge separated risk components of commodity contracts. Finally, the current hedge accounting framework does not address important risk management strategies in the power industry such as portfolio or macro hedging. Against this backdrop, IASB is revising the existing hedge accounting framework under the replacement project of IAS 39 with a focus on both, general and macro hedge accounting.
