Other information about this project
On 17 April the IASB published the Discussion Paper (DP) Accounting for Dynamic Risk Management: a Portfolio Revaluation Approach to Macro Hedging. The objective of the DP is to explore how to better reflect entities' dynamic risk management activities in their financial statements.
We would like to understand whether the information that the portfolio revaluation approach would provide would help investors and analysts to better understand entities' dynamic risk management activities and the effects of those activities on entities' financial statements.
The comment letter deadline is 17 October 2014.
