Pros 


The gain or loss on the forex hedge impacts 

earnings at the same time the hedged item impacts 

earnings.  

The gain or loss on the designated purchase 

commitment is not recorded on the balance sheet.  

The reclassification of the gain or loss in the OCI 

account on the designated sales commitments is 

relatively easy to track and record (as compared to 

purchase commitments.) 

 

The gain or loss on the forex hedge impacts earnings at 



the same time the hedged item impacts earnings. 

Tracking the impact to earnings on purchases is 

relatively simple because the underlying purchase 

amount is adjusted and the impact to earnings naturally 

flows to earnings over time. This process will be 

substantially easier to manage fixed asset, inventory, or 

raw material purchases. 

Cons 


Tracking the impact to earnings on purchases may 

become quite complex because it may occur over 

time.  

 

Gain or loss on the designated purchase commitment is 



recorded on the balance sheet. (This is typically not a 

recorded asset or liability.) 



Conclusion 

As shown in the above scenario, the two different hedge designations have the same impact to earnings 

at the same time; however, the recorded journal entries are different. Under the fair value hedge, the 

change in the value of the forex hedge is offset by recording the change in value of the purchase 

commitment on the balance sheet. While commitments nor there change in value are not typically 

recorded on the balance sheet, the desire to record the fair value of hedges on the balance sheet requires 

this unique treatment of recording the change in the value of the commitment on the balance sheet. 

The above scenario is fairly simple, but the benefit of using fair value hedges for firm commitments is 

easier to see when you consider raw material purchases in a foreign currency. Tracking the earnings 

impact timing of raw material purchases is much more complex under a cash flow hedge

especially when taking into account complicating factors such as raw materials used in multiple 

products or sold to intercompany subsidiaries. With such complicating factors, the OCI amounts for 

cash flow hedges would become very complex to track and reclassify to earnings. On the other hand, a 

fair value hedge would adjust the raw material inventory directly, thereby reducing the need for future 

tracking to earnings. 

Highly Probable Forecasted Forex Transactions (Transaction Risk 

– Cash 

Flow Hedge) 

A cash flow hedge is used for highly probable future financial assets or liabilities (for example, a highly 

probable sales/purchase contract). The effective portion of the hedge's change in the fair value can be 

recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet under ―OCI – Foreign Exchange Account‖, provided 

some strict criteria are met.  

The cumulative hedge value recorded as OCI will be subsequently reclassified into earnings when the 

forecasted transaction affects earnings. As an example, consider a sales contract that drops in value by 

$10,000 due to a change in exchange rates from the date the cash flow forex hedge commenced to the 

date the product was delivered. The sale is recorded in the income statement when the product is 

delivered. The reduced sales value is offset by the reclassification of the $10,000 gain on the forex 

hedge (assuming an effective hedge) that had been recorded as OCI. The second case study at the end

of this paper provides sample accounting entries related to cash flow hedges and the related future 

financial asset. 

The reclassification into earnings of the OCI amounts may be fairly complex if the hedged item 

impacts earnings over a longer time frame. For example, a hedged intercompany product sale to a 

subsidiary will not have the OCI reclassified into earnings at the time of the intercompany sale. Instead, 

it will be reclassified into earnings when the subsidiary completes the product sale to third parties. For 

another example, the hedged foreign currency purchase of raw materials used for producing a finished 

product would not have the OCI amounts reclassified into earnings until the finished product is sold.  

What Happens When a Highly Probable Foreign Transaction Ceases to be Highly 

Probable? 

Consider the situation where a cash flow forex hedge was designated for a highly probable forecasted 

foreign currency purchase that later ceases to be highly probable (due to a regular review—at a 

minimum, at each reporting date—of the probability designation). From the time the hedge was 

designated, the OCI account has accumulated amounts.  

 

The table below provides guidance on what to do when an assessment determines a change in the 



probability of the transaction occurring.

Net Investment in Foreign Operation 

– Investment Risk 

When hedging the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss 

is reported in OCI (outside earnings) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment account. Similar 

to a cash flow hedge, you must document the hedging relationship in advance and prove the 

effectiveness of the hedging relationship on both a prospective and retrospective basis.
