FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT<br />

liabilities (i) designated as such upon initial <strong>recognition</strong> <strong>and</strong> (ii) classified as<br />

held for trading in accordance with IPSAS 29; <strong>and</strong><br />

(c) Hedging <strong>instruments</strong>.<br />

IPSAS 30 neither requires nor prohibits disclosure of components of the change in<br />

fair value by the way items are classified for internal purposes. For example, an<br />

entity may choose to disclose separately the change in fair value of those derivatives<br />

that in accordance with IPSAS 29 it categorizes as held for trading, but the entity<br />

classifies as part of risk management activities outside the trading portfolio.<br />

In addition, IPSAS 30.10 requires disclosure of the carrying amounts of financial<br />

assets or financial liabilities at fair value through surplus or deficit, showing<br />

separately: (i) those designated as such upon initial <strong>recognition</strong> <strong>and</strong> (ii) those held for<br />

trading in accordance with IPSAS 29.<br />

G.2 IPSAS 29 <strong>and</strong> IPSAS 2 Hedge Accounting: Statements of Cash Flows<br />

How should cash flows arising from hedging <strong>instruments</strong> be classified in<br />

statements of cash flows?<br />

Cash flows arising from hedging <strong>instruments</strong> are classified as operating, investing or<br />

financing activities, on the basis of the classification of the cash flows arising from<br />

the hedged item. While the terminology in IPSAS 2 has not been updated to reflect<br />

IPSAS 29, the classification of cash flows arising from hedging <strong>instruments</strong> in the<br />

statement of cash flows should be consistent with the classification of these<br />

<strong>instruments</strong> as hedging <strong>instruments</strong> under IPSAS 29.<br />
