cash flow hedge

Under a cash flow hedge, the hedging instrument is measured at fair value, but any gain or loss that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in equity, e.g., cash flow hedge reserve. This is intended to avoid volatility in the statement of profit and loss in a period when the gains and losses on the hedged item are not recognised therein. Ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised directly in profit and loss. In order to match the gains and losses of the hedged item and the hedging instrument in the statement of profit and loss, the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument recognised in equity must be recycled from equity and recognised in the statement of profit and loss at the same time that the impact from the hedged.
