Derivatives Accounting Conference: Critical New Guidance & Its Effect on Your Hedge Program 2017 | CPE | 14 November 2017 | New York Marriott Marquis , 1535 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, US

The rules for the hedge accounting model under US GAAP have changed with the issuance of the FASB’s final Accounting Standards Update—ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives & Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities."

The New Standard refines and expands hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks, creating more transparency around presenting economic results. Compared to the current standard, the New Standard is not only easier to implement and maintain, but also reduces audit risks.

With ease of adoption and compliance, the elimination of the concept of ineffectiveness, relaxed testing, and the likely reduction of audit efforts, there are numerous reasons to seriously look at early adoption on January 1, 2018.
