Accounting for Currency Hedging using Forward Contract | Advanced Accounting | CPA Exam FAR

In this session, I explain accounting for currency hedging using forward contract. Currency hedging is a strategy designed to mitigate the impact of currency or foreign exchange (FX) risk on international investments returns. Popular methods for hedging currency are forward contracts, spot contracts, and foreign currency options. In very simple terms, Currency Hedging is the act of entering into a financial contract in order to protect against unexpected, expected or anticipated changes in currency exchange rates.

Describe a forward exchange contract. A forward exchange contract is an agreement to exchange currencies of two different countries at a specified rate (the forward rate) on a stipulated future date. At the inception of the contract, the forward rate is usually different from the spot rate.

    My experience is to not have been with any business that did hedging; however, all the businesses did not have many foreign currency transaction situations, but had a subsidiary that only exclusively worked in the foreign country. My guess is that this can become a big mess if not truly understood. Have seen how due to and due from subsidiaries and affiliates become a total mess and that should not be a hard as this. My opinion.

    Dear Farhat; what is the balance sheet entry and value of the merchandise bought by Christel Co. on Dec. 1st? It must be inventory (i.e. already received). And it would probably be valued at USD 26,565 (HKD 210,000 * 0.1265 USD / HKD). I am looking for the source of the USD 126 transaction gain on Dec. 31 and the only way I can explain it is, if on the asset side, the inventory keeps its value from Dec. 1. Thanks for your help.

    Very confused about derivative hedging. Why sometimes the spot rate is taken into account when doing JE, for example, in this video; but sometimes, JE just ignores spot rate, like in your videos doing Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedging in Foreign Currency.

    Very surface level: The Spot Rate is used to value the item that we are hedging (ex. A/P, A/R, Inventory, etc.), giving us the current value of it based on the date The Forward Rate is used to value the hedge/derivative itself (ex. Futures contract, Forward contract, etc.) and the gain/loss associated with it
