Introduction to Hedging
Instruments
Hedge Accounting

What is Hedge Accounting ?

 The objective of hedge accounting is to represent, in the financial statements, the effect of risk
management activities that use financial instruments to manage exposures arising from particular risks
that could affect profit or loss (P&L) or other comprehensive income (OCI).

 In simple terms, hedge accounting is a technique that modifies the normal basis for recognizing gains and
losses (or income and expenses) on associated hedging instruments and hedged items, so that both are
recognized in P&L (or OCI) in the same accounting period.

 This eliminates or reduces the volatility in the statement of profit and loss that otherwise would arise if the
hedged item and the hedging instrument were accounted for separately under Ind AS.

Why Hedge Accounting

 Ind AS 109 requires all derivative instruments to be classified and measured as Fair Value through Profit
or Loss a/c (“FVTPL”), giving rise to volatility in profit and loss on each reporting date until maturity of the
instrument.
 For instance, consider a forecast purchase of material in foreign currency which is hedged using a
forward contract. Since the underlying hedged item is a forecast purchase in foreign currency, it does not
affect the statement of profit and loss until the actual transaction occurs, i.e. until the material is
delivered.
 If company elects not to apply the hedge accounting principles in Ind AS 109, the accounting mismatch in
the timing of the impact on the statement of profit and loss will remain.

Types of Hedging Instrument

Hedging Instruments

Hedging instrument refers to all the financial instruments used by an investor aiming to offset the potential
changes in the fair value or cash flows of their hedged items.

A forward contract is a customized contract between two parties to buy or sell an

Forward Contract asset at a specified price on a future date. These contracts are always traded over-
the-counter where the transacting parties are known.

A futures contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a

Futures Contract specified price on a future date. These contracts are always exchange traded where
transacting parties are unknown. .

An options contract is an agreement between two parties to facilitate a potential

transaction on the underlying security at a preset price, referred to as the strike
Option Contract
price, prior to the expiration date. There are primarily two types of option contracts –
Call Option and Put Option.

A financial swap is a derivative contract where one party exchanges or "swaps" the
cash flows or value of one asset for another. For example, a company paying a
Swap Contract variable rate of interest may swap its interest payments with another company that
will then pay the first company a fixed rate. Three types of Swap Contracts are
Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps, Coupon Only Swap and Principle only Swap

Forward Contract
• As per Ind AS 109, an entity must assess the type of hedge on the basis of the nature of the hedged item,
regardless of whether the hedging relationship is a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge.
• The forward element of a forward contract must account for the changes as the change in time value in
OCI while only the intrinsic value of the forward contract is recorded as the hedging instrument in P&L.
• Time value amount will be removed from OCI and recognized in P&L, either over the period of the hedge
if, the hedge is time related or when the hedged transaction affects P&L, if the hedge is transaction
related.

Swap Contract
• IAS 39 did not prescribe specific accounting criteria for currency basis spreads.
• Ind AS 109 states that a hypothetical derivative cannot include features that do not exist in the hedged
item. It clarifies that a hypothetical derivative cannot simply impute a charge for exchanging different
currencies.
• Under Ind AS 109, where an entity separates the foreign currency basis spread from a financial
instrument and excludes it from the designation of that financial instrument as the hedging instrument, the
entity can account for the changes in the currency basis spread in the OCI which can be further
amortized to the P&L either over the period of the hedge if the hedge is time related or when the hedged
transaction affects P&L.

This ‘cost of hedging’ accounting treatment is optional rather than mandatory. This additional
approach helps to reduce volatility in P&L as compared to the accounting under IAS 39

Hedge Effectiveness

Hedge Effectiveness

 Hedge effectiveness is defined as the extent to which changes in the fair value or cash flows of the
hedging instrument offset changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.

 Hedge effectiveness testing can be prospective or retrospective in nature.

 Prospective test is a forward looking evaluation of effectiveness of hedging instrument in offsetting

changes in fair value of cashflow of the hedged item.

 Retrospective test is a backward looking evaluation of effectiveness of hedging instrument in offsetting

changes in fair value of cashflow of the hedged item as of the designated or reporting date.

Hedge Ratio

Hedge Ratio

• The hedge ratio is the relationship between the quantity of

the hedging instrument and the quantity of the hedged item
in terms of their relative weighting. Hedging Instrument
Hedge Ratio =
• Ind 109 requires that the hedge ratio used for hedge Hedged Item
accounting purposes should be the same as that used for
risk management purposes.
0% = No Hedge
• A hedge ratio is the ratio of exposure to a hedging < 100% = Under - Hedged
instrument to the value of the hedged asset. 100% = Perfect Hedge
> 100% = Over - Hedged
• A ratio 100% means that the position is fully hedged and a
ratio of 0% means it is not hedged at all.
