Hedge accounting is a financial strategy that helps reduce volatility in a company's portfolio. In the provided example, a Canadian company (Company A) purchased inventory from a U.S. supplier (Company C) for $100, with payment due in 10 days. To mitigate exchange rate risk, Company A entered into a forward contract on Day 1, locking in a rate of 1 USD to 1.10 CAD, costing them 110 CAD. Without this contract, if the spot rate on Day 10 was 1 USD to 1.70 CAD, their expenses would have soared to 170 CAD. The primary purpose of hedge accounting isn’t profit generation but to stabilize financial outcomes. There are two models for hedge accounting: cash flow hedging and fair value hedging, each with distinct methodologies.
