In total, there are five different accounting treatments, depending on how the
hedge is terminated and what kind of hedge it is:
1.An FV hedge fails the highly effective assessment (Paragraph 26).
- Amounts previously recorded as of the last assessment (which was highly ef-
fective) remain deferred. If it is known exactly when the FV hedge failed the
highly effective test, can defer the change in fair value on the hedged item up
to the last day (week, month, etc.), it was highly effective. - If it is not known when exactly the hedge failed, then there is no marking-to-
market of the hedged item for the current period, and the entire current period
change in fair value of the hedge instrument goes to P&L (Paragraph 26).
2.The firm commitment side of an FV hedge is no longer firm or the FV hedged
item no longer exists (Paragraph 26). - Any amounts recorded on the balance sheet related to the change in fair value
of the hedged itemare reversed out to P&L (Paragraph 26). - Per Paragraph 44.a.(2), this is an annual report footnote disclosure item.
3.A CF hedge fails the highly effective assessment (Paragraph 32.b.). - Amounts previously recorded in AOCI as of the last assessment (which was
highly effective) remain deferred. If it is known exactly when the CF hedge
failed the highly effective test can defer the change in fair value on the hedged
item in AOCI up to the last day (week, month, etc.) it was highly effective. - If it is not known when exactly the hedge failed, then there is no adjustment
to AOCI, and the entire current period change in fair value of the hedge in-
strument goes to P&L (Paragraph 32).
