Go to:

  • Recognition of Derivatives: All derivative contracts must be recognised on the balance sheet and measured at fair value.
  • Fair Value Measurement: Fair value means the ‘exit price’ — the amount paid to transfer a liability or received to transfer an asset, factoring in credit risk and collateral.
  • No Hedge Accounting: If hedge accounting is not used, derivatives must be measured at fair value with changes recognised in profit and loss.
  • Using Hedge Accounting: Entities may apply hedge accounting if they can identify risk management objectives, hedged risks, measurement methods, and document all aspects at inception and ongoing.
  • Partial Hedge Accounting: Entities can apply hedge accounting for some contracts and fair value accounting for others.
