Phase III: Hedge accounting

Phase III - Hedge accounting


 Financial Instruments—Phase III: Hedge accounting

This is the third phase of the IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (replacement of IAS 39) project.

This phase will replace the rule-based hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and more closely align the accounting with risk management activities. The objective of this phase is to improve the ability of investors to understand risk management activities and to assess the amounts, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows.
