© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 3 Section 12 – Recognition and measurement Initial recognition: –When entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument Initial measurement: –At FV (normally the transaction price) –Transaction costs are charged to expense

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 4 Section 12 – Recognition and measurement Subsequent measurement: –At FVTPL except: –Equity instrument that is not publicly traded and cannot get FV reliably, then measure at cost less impairment –Also measure a contract linked to such equity instrument at cost less impairment –If previously at FVTPL, but now a reliable FV measure is no longer available, treat most recent FV measure as cost going forward.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 5 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedging and hedge accounting are two different things What is hedging? –Managing risks by using one financial instrument (hedging instrument) purposely to offset the variability in FV or cash flows of a recognised asset or liability, firm commitment, or future cash flows (hedged item)

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 6 Section 12 – Hedge accounting What is hedge accounting? –Matching the change in FV of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the same income statement –Hedge accounting is only an issue when normal accounting would put the two FV changes in different periods – sometimes referred to as an accounting mismatch

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 7 Section 12 – Hedge accounting The hedgers accounting dilemma: –I have a risk in an asset or liability measured at amortised cost –Any change in FV or cash flows from that asset or liability is recognised only when realised in cash (asset is sold, liability is settled, cash flows occur) –To hedge, I buy a derivative, which is measured at FVTPL at each reporting date I need special hedge accounting to fix this mismatch

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 8 Section 12 – Hedge accounting The hedgers accounting dilemma – an illustration: –Entity has note payable at a fixed rate of interest due in 3 years. Note measured at amortised cost. –Buys swap to convert receive fixed interest to pay variable. Swap is measured at FVTPL. –End of year 1, interest rate declines. Therefore loss on derivative immediately recognised – but an offsetting gain (not yet recognised) because we will be paying the lower variable rate of interest in future.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 9 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedge accounting matching the gain (loss) on the derivative with the loss (gain) on the hedged item. Hedge accounting is optional.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 10 Section 12 – Hedge accounting To qualify for hedge accounting: –Designate and document hedging relationship up front –Clearly identify the hedged risk –Hedged risk is listed in ¶12.17 –Hedging instrument is listed in ¶12.18 –Entity expects hedging instrument to be highly effective in offsetting the designated hedged risk.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 11 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedged risk must be (12.17): –Interest rate risk in debt measured at cost –FX or interest rate risk in firm commitment or highly probable forecast transaction –Price risk in a commodity owned or to be acquired in a firm commitment or highly probable forecast transaction –FX risk in a net investment in a foreign operation

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 12 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedged risk must be (12.17): –FX risk in debt instrument measured at cost is not in this list. Why? –Under ¶30.10 (FX) the debt is translated at spot rate and FX gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss –Change in FV of the swap (hedging instrument) is also recognised in profit or loss (measured using forward rate) –Natural hedge

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 13 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedging instrument must be (12.18): –Interest rate swap, FX swap, FX forward, commodity forward –Entered into with external party –Notional amount = principal or notional amount of hedged item –Specified maturity not later than maturity or settlement of hedged item –Cannot be prepaid or terminated early

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 14 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedge of fixed interest rate risk or commodity price risk of commodity held –Recognise hedging instrument as asset or liability –Change in FV of hedging instrument in P&L –Change in FV of hedged item in P&L and adjustment of carrying amount of hedged item – even though hedged item is otherwise measured at cost This is called Fair Value Hedge in IAS 39.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 15 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedge of fixed interest rate risk or commodity price risk of commodity held (continued) –If hedged risk was fixed interest in debt measured at cost, recognise in P&L the periodic net settlements from the derivative (interest rate swap) in the period in which the net settlements occur.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 16 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Example – Assumptions: –Entity borrows 1,000, 3 years, 5% fixed rate, payable measured at amortised cost –Hedged with a derivative whose value is linked to an interest rate index –End of year 1, market rate = 6%. FV of 1,000 payable 2 years 6% = 1,000 x = 890, but this 110 gain is not recognised –Value of the derivative declines to -112 –Note there is small ineffectiveness = 2

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 17 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Balance sheet at time loan is made: Cash1,000 Loan payable1,000 Adjust loan end of year 1 to reflect rate change: Loan payable 110 P&L 2 Derivative(Liability) 112 Balance sheet end of year 1: Cash1,000 Derivative(Liability) 112 Loan payable 890 Equity (2)

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 18 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Conceptual question regarding the previous example: –Does the 890 carrying amount of the loan payable at end of year 1 represent the Fair Value of the loan? –Hint: Does the 890 reflect change in credit risk or prepayment risk? –If 890 is not Fair Value, what is it?

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 19 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedge of fixed interest rate risk and commodity price risk (continued) –Discontinue hedge accounting when: –Hedging instrument expires –Hedge no longer meets conditions –Entity revokes designation –Any gain or loss that was included in the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortised to P&L over remaining life of hedged item.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 20 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedge of variable interest rate risk, FX or commodity price risk of commodity held, highly probable forecast transaction, or net investment in foreign operation –Recognise change in FV of hedging instrument in OCI (assuming it was effective; ineffectiveness reported in P&L) –'Recycle' amount recognised in OCI when hedged item hits P&L or hedging relationship ends.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 21 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Hedge of variable interest rate risk, FX or commodity price risk of commodity held, highly probable forecast transaction, or net investment in foreign operation (continued) –If hedged risk was variable interest in debt measured at cost, recognise in P&L the periodic net settlements from the interest rate swap in the period in which the net settlements occur. This is called Cash Flow Hedge in IAS 39.

© 2011 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK | 22 Section 12 – Hedge accounting Example – Assumptions: –Entity sells goods for 1,000 floating rate 3- year note receivable –Interest rate risk managed with a derivative (interest rate swap) –End of year 1 interest rates increase – PV of cumulative cash flows increase by 100 –But FV of swap decreases by 105 –Note: Some hedge ineffectiveness
