Beyond the GAAP no. 77 - April 2014
In publishing the definitive version of the hedging provisions of IFRS 9, Financial instruments, the IASB had already taken a major step towards revising the accounting treatment of entities’ risk management activities.
Beyond the GAAP no. 76 - March 2014
In our January 2014 issue, we highlighted the ongoing differences of opinion between the IASB and the FASB as they tried to finalise the standard on financial instruments. After years of work on the joint standard, they seem unable to reach a consensus on either phase 1 (classification and measurement) or phase 2 (impairment).
Beyond the GAAP no. 75 - February 2014
The IASB published an update of its work plan on 25 February. According to this document, March 2014 should see the publication of the Discussion Paper on macro hedging and the draft amendment to IAS 1 resulting from the Disclosure Initiative. These two publications are eagerly awaited by stakeholders. Let us hope that they are not a disappointment!
Beyond the GAAP no. 74 - January 2014
November 2013 saw the publication of the final standard on hedge accounting that constitutes
phase 3 of IFRS 9, and which is explained in full detail in this issue of Beyond the GAAP. This standard represents a significant new direction for IFRSs, with a greater focus on entities’ operational risk management policy. From now on, the accounting treatment must be adapted to fit the management policy, rather than the other way around. This is the first step towards a “business model” approach that many have called for, and that is currently being discussed as part of the Conceptual Framework project.
