Under hedge accounting

Under hedge accounting, the timing of recognition of gains and losses on the derivative hedged instrument is matched with the gains and losses on the hedged item.
Listed companies which are not required to follow Ind AS need to comply with the requirements of the GN on accounting for derivatives from the first quarter ended June 30, 2016.  A sales contract is an example of firm commitment. The distinction between firm commitment and highly probable forecast transaction is also of utmost importance since forecast transaction are always cash flow hedged whereas firm commitments are always fair value hedged with the exception of foreign exchange risk in a firm commitment that can be designated as hedged item under a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.
