How to record cost of hedging reserve
Accounting for the change in fair value of the excluded components of a derivative (e.g., forward points) in OCI.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost of Hedging Reserve (OCI) | Equity | 2,500.00 | - |
| Derivative Financial Instrument | Asset/Liability | - | 2,500.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Under IFRS 9, entities can separate the forward element/foreign currency basis spread and recognize its changes in OCI as 'costs of hedging' rather than in profit or loss.
