Cash flow hedges
6.5.11 As long as a cash flow hedge meets the qualifying criteria in
paragraph 6.4.1, the hedging relationship shall be accounted for as
follows:
(a) the separate component of equity associated with the hedged item
(cash flow hedge reserve) is adjusted to the lower of the following
(in absolute amounts):
(i) the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument
from inception of the hedge; and
(ii) the cumulative change in fair value (present value) of the
hedged item (ie the present value of the cumulative change
in the hedged expected future cash flows) from inception of
the hedge.
(b) the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is
determined to be an effective hedge (ie the portion that is offset by
the change in the cash flow hedge reserve calculated in accordance
with (a)) shall be recognised in other comprehensive income.
(c) any remaining gain or loss on the hedging instrument (or any gain
or loss required to balance the change in the cash flow hedge
reserve calculated in accordance with (a)) is hedge ineffectiveness
that shall be recognised in profit or loss.
