BTCCSquare news:
Derivative instruments—options, forwards, futures, swaps—are critical tools for corporations and financial institutions managing risks tied to interest rates, currencies, and commodities. Under U.S. GAAP (ASC 815) and IFRS 9, derivatives must be measured at fair value on balance sheets, with fluctuations hitting earnings immediately. This creates volatility that obscures long-term risk strategies.
Hedge accounting aligns derivative gains/losses with the hedged item’s value changes, smoothing earnings volatility when strict criteria are met. Fair value hedges, cash FLOW hedges, and net investment hedges each play distinct roles in reflecting risk management on financial statements.
