- Of all the many documents and books that I have
read about derivative financial instruments, the
most important have been the books and documents
written by Frank Partnoy. Some of his books are
listed at the bottom of this message.
5Frank Partnoys Works
- The single most important document is his Senate
Testimony. More than any other single thing that
I've ever read about the Enron disaster, this
testimony explains what happened at Enron and
what danger lurks in the entire world from
continued unregulated OTC markets in derivatives.
I think this document should be required reading
for every business and economics student in the
world. Perhaps it should be required reading for
every student in the world. Among other things it
says a great deal about human greed and behavior
that pump up the bubble of excesses in government
and private enterprise that destroy the
efficiency and effectiveness of what would
otherwise be the best economic system ever
designed.

11Hedge Accounting Section Objectives
- After completing this section, you should be able
to - Determine whether a contract is scoped into the
standards and, if so, whether it is - Qualified for Hedge Accounting
- Treated as a cash flow, fair value, or FX hedge
- Understand the basic journal entries
- Cry out loud if forced to implement the standards
12One million lines of journal entries Just how
expensive is FAS 133?
- "The Potential Crisis at Fannie Mae," Comstock
Funds, August 11, 2005 --- http//snipurl.com/Fann
ie133 - We have no proprietary information about Fannie
Mae, but what is publicly known is scary enough.
As you may recall, last December the SEC required
Fannie to restate prior financial statements
while the Office of Federal Oversight (OFHEO)
accused the company of widespread accounting
regularities that resulted in false and
misleading statements. Significantly, the
questionable practices included the way Fannie
accounted for their huge amount of derivatives.
On Tuesday, a company press release gave some
alarming hints on how extensive the problem may
be. - The press release stated that in order to
accomplish the restatements, we have to obtain
and validate market values for a large volume of
transactions including all of our derivatives,
commitments and securities at multiple points in
time over the restatement period. To illustrate
the breadth of this undertaking, we estimate we
will need to record over one million lines of
journal entries, determine hundreds of thousands
of commitment prices and securities values, and
verify some 20,000 derivative prices - This year we expect that over 30 percent of our
employees will spend over half their time on it,
and many more are involved. In addition we are
bringing some 1,500 consultants on board by
years end to help with the restatementAltogether
, we project devoting six to eight million labor
hours to the restatement. We are also investing
over 100 million in technology projects to
enhance or create new systems related to
accounting and reportingwe do not believe the
restatement will be completed until sometime
during the second half of 2006 - Bob Jensen's tutorials on accounting for
derivatives are at http//www.trinity.edu/rjensen/
caseans/000index.htm
13FOUR CORNERSTONES
- Derivatives are contracts that create rights and
obligations that meet the definitions of assets
and liabilities - Fair value is the only relevant measure for
derivatives(Mainly because historical cost is
zero or near-zero) - Value risk can be hedged into cash flow risk, and
cash flow risk can be hedged into value risk, but
both risks cannot simultaneously be eliminated. - Hedge effectiveness tests can be varied with the
type of risk being hedged.
14Example Futures ContractsFinancial Risk May Be
Unbounded
- May be contracts to buy or sell at contracted
(future) price that moves along with spot prices
on an organized exchange linking buyers and
sellers. Cost Zero! - Notional standardized quantities per contract
for a standard product such as a particular type
of corn. - Underlying the value per unit such as the price
of a bushel of corn or a Treasury or Libor
interest rate. - Futures are a unique kind of derivative because
futures gains and losses are posted daily in cash.
15Example Futures Contracts (Continued)
- Since futures contracts are cleared daily for
cash, the accounting was relatively simple under
the now-defunct FAS 80. - FAS 133 rules are more complicated for hedging
contracts --- see 000starta.xls file at
http//www.cs.trinity.edu/rjensen/Calgary/CD/FAS
133OtherExcelFiles/cases/ - CBOT --- http//www.cbot.com/
- The prices you first see listed are the forward
prices. To find spot prices, click on the link
called "Charts."
16Example Forward ContractsFinancial Risk May Be
Unbounded
- May be contracts to buy or sell at contracted
(future) price that moves along with spot prices
in over-the-counter (OTC) private contracts.
Cost Zero! - Notional unique quantities per contract for a
defined product such as a particular type of
corn. - Underlying the value per unit such as the price
of a bushel of corn or a Treasury or Libor
interest rate. - Unlike futures contracts, forward contracts are
neither standardized nor cleared daily for cash
gains and losses.
17Example Forward Contracts (Continued)
- There were no accounting rules for forward
contracts prior to FAS 133. - FAS 133 rules are complicated for hedging
contracts --- see 000starta.xls file at
http//www.cs.trinity.edu/rjensen/Calgary/CD/FAS
133OtherExcelFiles/cases/ - CBOT --- Does not exchange forward contracts
- Contracts are non-standardized and might be
subject to credit risk.
18Example Swap Contracts Financial Risk May Be
Unbounded
- Swaps are generally portfolios of forward
contracts with regularly-spaced payment dates.
Cost Zero! - Notional unique quantities per contract for a
defined product such the number of bonds being
hedged. - Underlying the value per unit such as the price
of a bushel of corn or a Treasury or Libor
interest rate. - Interest rate swaps were only invented in 1984,
but they became the leading form of cash
management and now have notionals over 100
trillion dollars..
19Example Swap Contracts (Continued)
- There were no accounting rules for swap contracts
prior to FAS 133. - FAS 133 rules are complicated for hedging
contracts --- see 000starta.xls file at
http//www.cs.trinity.edu/rjensen/Calgary/CD/FAS
133OtherExcelFiles/cases/ - There are a few standardized swaps traded on
exchanges - Contracts are non-standardized and might be
subject to credit risk.
20Example Written Option ContractsFinancial Risk
May Be Unbounded
- Contracts to sell or buy at contracted (future)
price that moves along with spot prices on an
organized exchange linking buyers and sellers.
Sale Price gt 0Premium! Example Selling Puts
or Calls. - Notional standardized quantities per contract
for a standard product such as a particular type
of corn. - Underlying the value per unit such as the price
of a bushel of corn or a Treasury or Libor
interest rate. - Options may also be non-standardized OTC. Use of
options dates back to Roman times.
21Example Purchased Option ContractsFinancial
Risk Is Bounded by Premium Paid
- Contracts to buy or sell at contracted (future)
price that moves along with spot prices on an
organized exchange linking buyers and sellers.
Purchase Price gt 0Premium! Example Buying
Puts or Calls. - Notional standardized quantities per contract
for a standard product such as a particular type
of corn. - Underlying the value per unit such as the price
of a bushel of corn or a Treasury or Libor
interest rate. - Purchased options are the only derivatives where
risk is limited to the premium (purchase) price
paid initially.
22Example Purchased Options (Continued)
- The accounting was relatively simple under the
now-defunct FAS 80. - FAS 133 rules are more complicated for hedging
contracts --- see 000starta.xls file at

23KEY ASPECTS OF THE 133/39 STANDARDS
- Most derivatives are reported at fair value on
balance sheet - Changes in fair value for derivatives not
qualifying in a hedging relationship are recorded
in earnings - Hedge accounting is provided for the change in
value of derivatives designated and qualifying
as - Fair value hedges
- Cash flow hedges
- Foreign currency hedges
- Hedge effectiveness tests may be tough hurdles
over time
24DERIVATIVES IMPLEMENTATIONGROUP (DIG)
- DIG is made up of FASB staff members, Big 5
members and Industry professionals. Active DIG
observers include the SEC and certain regulators. - DIGs mandate is to assist the FASB in answering
implementation questions by identifying practice
issues that arise from applying Statement 133 and
to advise the FASB staff on how to resolve the
issues. - Issues are discussed by DIG, tentatively
concluded by the FASB staff and posted on the
FASB website (www.fasb.org) for two months before
being presented to the Board for negative
clearance. - DIG Site http//www.fasb.org/derivatives/

26DERIVATIVE DEFINITION 616
- The definition is based on distinguishing
characteristics - A derivative instrument is a contract with all
three of the following characteristics (6) - Underlying and either a notional amount or a
payment provision or both - Relatively small initial net investment
- Net settlement or its equivalent (excludes most
short sales Take-Or-Pays, but see FAS 133
Paragraph 290) - Definition includes freestanding as well as
embedded derivative instruments - A number of exclusions exist
27FREESTANDING DERIVATIVESOverview
- Statement 133 created a new definition of the
term derivative - Some instruments that are not usually considered
derivatives are included (e.g. certain
purchase/sales contracts) - The definition is based on certain distinguishing
characteristics. - Certain scope exceptions exist not everything
that meets the definition of a derivative is
subject to the requirements of Statement 133.
28FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Three Characteristics
69 and 57
- A derivative instrument is a contract with all
three of the following characteristics - 1. Underlying and either a notional amount or a
payment provision or both - 2. No initial net investment or smaller initial
net investment than contracts with similar
responses to changes in market factors - 3. Net settlement or its equivalent
29FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic
1Underlying 7 and 57(a)
- An underlying is a variable, such as
- An interest rate (e.g., LIBOR)
- The price of a security or commodity (e.g., price
of a share of ABC stock or a bushel of wheat) - A foreign exchange rate (e.g., Euro/U.S. spot
rate) - A measure of creditworthiness (e.g., Moodys)
- An index on any of above or other (e.g., SP 500,
CPI) - Other specific items
30FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic
1Notional Amount 7
- A notional amount is a number of
- Currency units
- Shares
- Bushels
- Pounds
- Other units
- Notional amount is used to determine the
settlement amount (for example, a price x a
number of shares)
31FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic
1Examples of Underlyings and Notional Amounts
- Derivative Underlying Notional
Amount - - Stock option - Stock price - Number
of shares - - Currency forward - Exchange rate - Number of
currency units - - Commodity future - Commodity price - Number
of commodity units - - Interest rate swap - Interest index - Dollar
amount
32FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic
1Payment Provision 7
- A payment provision specifies a fixed or
determinable settlement if the underlying behaves
in a specified way. - For example
- if interest rates increase by say 300
basis points then payment of an
applicable amount would be required
33FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic
2Initial Net Investment 8 and 57(b)
- A derivative requires either
- No initial net investment
- A smaller initial net investment than other types
of contracts that have a similar response to
changes in market factors - A derivative does not require an initial net
investment of - the notional amount
- An exchange of currencies is not a net investment
34FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 3Net
Settlement 9 and 57(c)
- There are 3 ways to meet the net settlement
requirement - 1. Net settlement explicitly required or
permitted by the contract (transfer of cash or
other assets) - 2. Net settlement by a market mechanism outside
the contract (e.g., futures exchange) - 3. Delivery of a derivative or an asset that is
readily convertible to cash
35FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic
3Readily Convertible to Known Amounts of Cash
9 and 57(c)
- Readily convertible assets have
- Interchangeable (fungible) units
- Quoted prices available in an active market that
can rapidly absorb the quantity held by the
entity without significantly affecting the price - For example
- Public securities, commodities, and foreign
currencies
36FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Exceptions 10 and 58
- The following are not subject to Statement 133
- Regular-way security trades
- Normal purchases and normal sales
- Traditional insurance contracts
- Most financial guarantee contracts
- OTC contracts with certain underlyings
- Derivatives that are an impediment to sales
accounting
37FAS 138Scope-Excluded Contracts
- Normal purchase/sale exception expanded to
include - Contracts that permit net settlement (9a)
- Contracts that have a market mechanism to
facilitate net settlement (but note FAS 138)
- As long as it is probable contracts will not
settle net and will result in physical delivery
(but note FAS 138 and FAS 149)
38FAS 138 Scope-Excluded Contracts (Contd)
Net settlement of similar contracts should be
rare Excluded from exception Contracts that
require cash settlement or otherwise settle
periodically Contracts that have price based
on underlying unrelated to asset sold or
purchased(1) Contracts denominated in foreign

43EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES Definition 12
- Embedded derivatives are implicit or explicit
terms that affect the cash flows or value of
other exchanges required by a contract in a
manner similar to a derivative - The combination of a host contract and an
embedded derivative is referred to as a hybrid
contract - Examples of hybrid contracts are
- Structured notes
- Convertible securities
- Securities with caps, floors, or collars

whether the economic characteristics and risks of
the embedded derivative are clearly and closely
related to the economic characteristics and risks
of the host contract.
48 FAIR VALUE HEDGE 2022
- A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to
a change in fair value of a recognized asset or
liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment
attributable to a particular risk. Key aspects - Hedged item is exposed to price risk
- For a highly effective hedge, there must be
offsetting fair value changes for hedged item and
hedging instrument - Changes in fair value of hedged item and hedging
instrument are recorded in earnings - Basis of hedged item is adjusted by the change in
value
49FAIR VALUE HEDGE ACCOUNTING
- Key concepts
- Derivatives are always adjusted on the balance
sheet at fair value (i.e., marked-to-market)
(17) - In qualified hedge accounting, the offset to
changes in the hedging derivative is OCI for cash
flow hedges but not for fair value hedges. - For a qualified fair value hedge, the offset is
Firm Commitment for a purchase contract
with a contracted price
Hedged Item carrying value if the hedged item
such as inventory is already on the
books at historical cost PL current
earnings if the hedged item such as
inventory is already on the books at fair value

51CASH FLOW HEDGE 2931
- A cash flow hedge is a hedging relationship where
the variability of the hedged items cash flows
is offset by the cash flows of the hedging
instrument. Key aspects - Hedged item may be a forecasted transaction with
no contracted future price (i.e., not a firm
commit.) - Effective portion of derivatives gain or loss
reported in OCI - Earnings recognition matches hedged transaction
- Ineffective gain or loss recorded in earnings
52CASH FLOW HEDGE ACCOUNTING
- Derivative instrument recorded at fair value,
effective portion through OCI, ineffective
through earnings - Amounts in OCI recognized in earnings when hedged
transaction impacts earnings under FAS 133 but
not under IAS 39. In other words, IAS 39
requires basis adjustment when the derivative
expires whereas FAS 133 carries OCI forward until
hedged item is disposed of in a transaction.

54FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGE 3642 (as amended by FAS
138)
- The Board intended to increase the consistency of
hedge accounting guidance by broadening the scope
of eligible foreign currency hedges. At the same
time, the Board chose to continue certain prior
practices. Key aspects - Includes hedges of cash flow, fair value, and net
investments in foreign operations - Carries forward the functional currency concept
from Statement 52 - Permits limited use of nonderivative instruments
- Expands hedge accounting, particularly for
forecasted transactions and tandem currency hedges
55Hedging Instruments
- For a fair value hedge of foreign exchange risk
related to AFS securities or a recognized
foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument, an
entity can only use a derivative instrument - For a fair value hedge of foreign exchange risk
related to a firm commitment, an entity can use
either a derivative or a non-derivative
instrument - For a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign
currency denominated transaction (including
forecasted intercompany transactions, recognized
foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments and
firm commitments accounted for as forecasted
transactions), an entity can only use a
derivative instrument - For a hedge of a net investment in a foreign
operation, an entity can use either a derivative
or a non-derivative instrument

Statements and Accounting for Investments in
Subsidiaries IAS 28, Accounting for
Investments in Associates and IAS 31, Financial
Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures
58IAS 39 should be applied by all enterprises to
all financial instruments except
- (b) rights and obligations under leases, to
which IAS 17, Leases, applies however, (i)
lease receivables recognized on a lessor's
balance sheet are subject to the derecognition
provisions of this Standard (paragraphs 35-65 and
170(d)) and (ii) this Standard does apply to
derivatives that are embedded in leases (see
paragraphs 22-26)
59IAS 39 should be applied by all enterprises to
all financial instruments except
- c) employers' assets and liabilities under
employee benefit plans, to which IAS 19, Employee
Benefits, applies - (d) rights and obligations under insurance
contracts as defined in paragraph 3 of IAS 32,
Financial Instruments Disclosure and
Presentation, but this Standard does apply to
derivatives that are embedded in insurance
contracts (see paragraphs 22-26) - (e) equity instruments issued by the reporting
enterprise including options, warrants, and other
financial instruments that are classified as
shareholders' equity of the reporting enterprise
(however, the holder of such instruments is
required to apply this Standard to those

all financial instruments except
- (f) financial guarantee contracts, including
letters of credit, that provide for payments to
be made if the debtor fails to make payment when
due (IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities
and Contingent Assets, provides guidance for
recognizing and measuring financial guarantees,
warranty obligations, and other similar
instruments). In contrast, financial guarantee
contracts are subject to this Standard if they
provide for payments to be made in response to
changes in a specified interest rate, security
price, commodity price, credit rating, foreign
exchange rate, index of prices or rates, or other
variable (sometimes called the 'underlying').
Also, this Standard does require recognition of
financial guarantees incurred or retained as a
result of the derecognition standards set out in
paragraphs 35-65
61IAS 39 should be applied by all enterprises to
all financial instruments except

64CASE 1 Cash Flow Hedge of Forecasted Inventory
Sale
- ABC is hedging the risk of changes in cash flows
related to a forecasted sale of 100,000 bushels
of Commodity A to be sold at the end of period 1.
The inventory carrying value is 1 million, and
current market value is 1.1 million - On the first day of period 1, ABC enters into
Derivative Z to sell 100,000 bushels at 1.1
million at the end of period - At hedge inception, the derivative is
at-the-money (fair value is 0) - All terms of the commodity and the derivative
match (i.e., no expected ineffectiveness) - On last day of Period 1, fair value of Derivative
Z increased by 25,000 and expected sales price
of 100,000 bushels of Commodity A decreased
25,000 - From Example 4, Appendix B of Standard
65CASE 1 Cash Flow Hedge of Forecasted Inventory
Sale
- Journal entries at end of period 1
- Derivative Z 25,000
- OCI 25,000
- To record Derivative Z at fair value
- Cash 25,000
- Derivative Z 25,000
- To record settlement of Derivative Z
66CASE 1 Cash Flow Hedge of Forecasted Inventory
Sale
- Journal entries at end of period 1
- Cash 1,075,000
- CGS 1,000,000
- Revenue 1,075,000
- Inventory 1,000,000
- To record inventory sale
- OCI 25,000
- Earnings 25,000
- To reclassify amount in OCI to earnings upon
inventory sale
67CASE 1 Cash Flow Hedge of Forecasted Inventory
Sale
- Forecasted cash flows 1,100,000
- Actual cash flows
- Derivative 25,000
- Sale of inventory 1,075,000
- Total 1,100,000
- The variability of cash flows related to the
forecasted inventory sale is offset by change in
value of derivative.
68CASE 2Fair Value Hedge of Inventory
- ABC has 1,000 bushels of a Commodity with a fair
value of 1.1 million and a carrying value of
1.0 million - ABC wants to hedge overall fair value of the
Commodity - On 1/1/X1, ABC enters into an at-the-money
matching derivative to hedge the changes in
fair value of the 1,000 bushels of the Commodity
69CASE 2 (Contd)Fair Value Hedge of Inventory
