FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />
For the consolidated financial statements, TC’s external forward contract on FC300<br />
is designated, at the beginning of month 1, as a hedging instrument of the first FC300<br />
of B’s highly probable future expenses. IPSAS 29 requires that in the consolidated<br />
financial statements at the end of month 1, the accounting effects of the internal<br />
derivative transactions must be eliminated.<br />
However, the net balances before <strong>and</strong> after elimination of the accounting entries<br />
relating to the internal derivatives are the same, as set out below. Accordingly, there<br />
is no need to make any further accounting entries in order for the requirements of<br />
IPSAS 29 to be met.<br />

Case 3: Offset of Fair Value <strong>and</strong> Cash Flow Hedges<br />
Assume that the exposures <strong>and</strong> the internal derivative transactions are the same as in<br />
cases 1 <strong>and</strong> 2. However, instead of entering into two external derivatives to hedge<br />
separately the fair value <strong>and</strong> cash flow exposures, TC enters into a single net external<br />
derivative to receive FC250 in exchange for LC in 90 days.<br />
TC has four internal derivatives, two maturing in 60 days <strong>and</strong> two maturing in 90<br />
days. These are offset by a net external derivative maturing in 90 days. The interest<br />
rate differential between FC <strong>and</strong> LC is minimal, <strong>and</strong> therefore the ineffectiveness<br />
resulting from the mismatch in maturities is expected to have a minimal effect on<br />
surplus or deficit in TC.<br />
As in cases 1 <strong>and</strong> 2, A <strong>and</strong> B apply hedge accounting for their cash flow hedges <strong>and</strong><br />
TC measures its derivatives at fair value. A recognizes a gain of LC20 on its internal<br />
derivative transaction in net assets/equity <strong>and</strong> B recognizes a loss of LC50 on its<br />
internal derivative transaction in net assets/equity.<br />
At the end of month 1, the following entries are made in the individual or separate<br />
financial statements of A, B <strong>and</strong> TC. Entries reflecting transactions or events within<br />
the economic entity are shown in italics.<br />
