Accounting for Dynamic Risk Management: A Portfolio Revaluation Approach to Macro Hedging
The IASB is exploring whether it can develop an accounting model for hedge accounting that will enable investors to understand the effect of a company’s dynamic risk management. In 2014, the IASB issued a discussion paper on macro hedge accounting and it is currently working towards publishing an exposure draft. When this project is complete, the new guidance will replace that in IAS 39.
